People are friendly and most of the programs are good but there is a really big problem with treatment of foreigners. There’s no race-based abuse but there is an underlying element that makes it a little more difficult for foreigners here. They get treated differently by both some of the professors and students. It doesn’t seem to be an issue of skin color so much as ethnicity. If you’re a foreigner then you may experience some of what I described. If not, then I’ve heard good things overall.

Great, welcoming environment and school; feels like a family away from family and a home away from home. A couple grievances though: 1. While I understand they are a very community oriented school, I don't think that we should have to apply to live OFF campus. I find it a bit peculiar and a bit frustrating that you are required to live on campus, especially considering it's hard for first year students to get into the apartments, and how expensive the residence halls are. 2. I know it's a Christian school, I find it frustrating that you are required to get a certain amount of spiritual life credits, and you are charged for not obtaining all of them. I think chapel should be enough to get these and you should be able to get them waived if you serve at church, especially considering one can get busy with work/school and may not have time. But other than that I love this school, the faculty and professors are amazing and the students are all so welcoming.

Great enthusiastic receptions for new students. Plenty of help on moving in day. I know my son feels comfortable and has already made new friends here.

One student that I talked to claims that the people are pretty okay here. Other than that, nothing much of note. Overall campus is pretty, though it does rain here. Always remember, life is beautiful and so are you!

Pray about going here before attending. The relationships I made were the best thing about this school. I will always hold those people and moments near to my heart. But it is hard to point to other aspects of the university that really encouraged me to thrive. I’m grateful for the time I spent here but I really don’t recommend it to others.
