Good reviews
Overall 4.9
I love how great and personal our staff is (you'll love our theology professors). I appreciate how our Chapel centers on a Triumph (not through war) through a self-sacrificial love for us, Who is actively moving us toward compassionate service/ministry to one another in mind(iron sharpens iron), body(stay healthy), and spirit(joy & faith).

Great school to go to
Overall 4.7
Couldn't have picked a better college to grow in my faith. There are so many ministry opportunities here, so many Bible studies, clubs, etc. Everything is so Christ-centered it's amazing. Chapel M-F and church Sundays of course. Online options for COVID and TONS of off-campus church options. So much more to say... wish I had more room!

Overall 4.4
Absolutely love the strong Christian atmosphere that Concordia has which supports and upholds everyone on campus as they pursue their future vocations.
Overall 4.3
Don't draw presumptions just because it's a Lutheran Private University. Concordia will literally accept anybody. Lots of snobby, unsociable, & undisciplined students. Classes are small & afraid to speak up. At least the professors are friendly & helpful. Education itself is top notch. Safest campus in the country. Lots of scholarships & grants.

Absolutely loved the education I've received from here and the amazing people who work here. The professors care about you so so much and I always feel supported.

A complete joke of a university

not fun school

The science credits are only worth 4 credits, with lab, compared to state schools (worth 5 credits). If you plan to transfer, none of your credits will count. Their science department is staffed with a few good instructors but you have to be in the know to identify them. If you don't, you'll be stuck with the most arrogant academic gate keepers.

The professors don't help and expect way too much, unless you had a 4.0 in high school, the likeliness of you doing well here is very small, coming from a 3.0 high school student. There's absolutely nothing to do here and it doesn't allow you to explore college life.

If you're looking for an extremely religious school that forces students to take gen eds whose credits won't transfer to another school, then Concordia is for you. The science department is spectacular and that is the only good thing I have to say. Also, people walk around barefoot carrying books in a basket. Gotta love fungal infections.

is a daycare boarding school bible campers...better pretend you like who your told to vote for, and that you are their religion or converting soon..not for grown ups
Overall 1.6
The campus is very secluded and I suggest that you bring a car if you ever want to see the outside world. The campus is very small and there is nothing to do. If you want to be bored and unhappy with your life, this is the campus for you!!!!
