Close to home and heard a lot of good things about the community on campus. I wanted somewhere where I knew my faith would grow and also where I could have independence. I had a lot of friends who went here too so that helped.

Course Curriculum

7

The curriculum is good for the most part but sometimes I feel like it might be a little too easy or surface level. For a college, a lot of work is just busy work. I would prefer to have less work and more exams.

Faculty

8

I have always loved the faculty. The faculty has always been so kind and helpful.

Accommodation

Exams

An ACT score of 32. SAT score of 1880. I'm taking the HESI soon as well. Those are all the tests that I have taken.

Fees

There's a lot of fees for living on campus, like event fees or gym fees or 'connect' fees which I think ties into those two.

Examination Structure

Most classes have 3/4 exams. Some classes are only exams while some classes are exams plus busy work. The exams are on a few topics at a time. Some classes have a cumulative final but not all classes.
