This university is amazing! I have read some of the reviews on here and I can't disagree with them more. I transferred here from a public, large 4 year university. . This place is amazing! A lot better than my last school. People are great. Staff are very attentive and invested. Met amazing people who truly seek Christ.

I met the new President and I worry he is a little too ... stuffy and NON-PRESIDENTIAL in his demeanor. I was hoping for an experienced person to come in, but we got a Provost who wants to be President. I pray that he focuses on the community, fund-raising!!!, and creating opportunites for graduates!

Had to leave. Too many problems and not enough engagement from the administration. Terrible, terrible place. Don't even visit.

If you like being in the middle of nowhere, this is the place to be. There is not much to do, and the Freshman dorms are by far the worst dorms you will ever be in.
