College Highlights

What Others are Saying

"There is a stigma that small Christian colleges are incredibly boring and conservative. I think students need to know that you can have a fun college experience and do crazy and harmless things with you friends, and still be a Christian. Our sports programs are great and full of good people. And we're not bad at sports. We're pretty good. I don't think a lot of people know that. Our professors are brilliant in their fields, but they also care about us. They are open and are willing to point out the things in us where they see us excelling. But they're also willing to say, 'Hey, I think you need to work on this area a bit.’ I was really nervous about financial aid, but it ended up being a lot cheaper than other schools I was looking at. My friend goes to a state school and has a class with 300 students in it. Here, every professor knows my name. They email me if I miss class to ask if I’m feeling okay.”
