Prin is a wonderful place for christian scientists to thrive in a loving academic community. you really grow with your peers spiritually and academically. the staff here is super supportive and with the small class sizes, you have more opportunities for your teachers to help you succeed!

While the location is some ways away from the nearest proper town the campus has a lot to offer. The social events are almost always well thought out and fun to stop by. The internet can be be a bit spotty when a lot of people are on it but there are no major issues with it.

Every school will have it's plus and minuses, but the second you leave Prin you will recognize the amazing community and opportunities that were present at this beautiful place atop the bluffs of the Mississippi River. I even gave up my beloved mountains to go play soccer here and I wouldn't change that decision for the world.
