I LOVE Spring Arbor University! I have grown so much the few years that I have been here! I have met many life long friends, and cannot imagine going to another school. At a smaller school, it is much easier to build relationships with the professors! I know I won't struggle getting a letter of recommendation! Wish I had more characters to say more

Very great school with great professors. All the teachers here will challenge you, they are not easy A's but that is a good thing. They will push you and be there with you every step of the way. You will be better because of it and they WILL help you succeed in the future. I have been to 5 colleges now and none have been more helpful then SAU.

Values and quality education don't compete for top priority; they share it. Great school.

The best thing about SAU is how much the professors care about their students. I haven't had a single professor who was not helpful and kind.

I hate this school. Thought it would be great, but I just feel trapped.

It's good for what it is, but SAU is too expensive and too restrictive. With all the rules in place, you might feel like you're in some kind of Big Brother type government. Paying over $30k a year isn't worth being treated like a child even though you're moved out. I plan to transfer next fall.
Overall 1.8
I went to SAU for my freshmen year, I hated it. Most of the people I met were very fake, I only have two friends from my freshmen year at that school and they were my roommates, who both also transfered. The profs. are great, for the most part. It is in a horrible location,there is nothing to do and there are barely any social events on campus.
