Sarah - 07/18/2024

As an international student at Moody's Michigan Campus, I have really appreciated how welcoming and helpful all of the staff are, and the institution's commitment to both quality and affordability in education. The school has a strong Christian community, and a great relationship with local students. Moody students are hard-working, friendly, and overall, people of good character. I would highly recommend Moody to anyone considering doing a Masters in Psychology, or taking any of the other programs they offer!

If you are a christian, this is a very good school to go to. We have a great doctrine and the theological classes are great. There is a lot of reading but overall, you get great learning of the Bible. The school is pretty small so it is easy to get connected to the professors and community.

Kaia - 04/10/2023

I'm starting at Moody in the fall, but before I made the decision I visited the campus last fall and it was a very close knit community feel as its a smaller school. There's plenty of activities outside of classes, and the classes themselves are very interesting and fun. Overall I really like Moody and am looking forward to going to school there this fall :)

Melissa - 01/02/2022

I just completed my first semester at Moody Bible Institute and it exceeded my expectations in several ways. I love the integrity of the school and the community on campus. The Student Dining Room is home to many great academic and uplifting conversations and the professors are approachable and caring.
