Anderson University-Anderson, SC Top Questions

Most of my friends from high school went to large, public, state schools along with 30,000 other people. They see unfamiliar faces every day, their teachers never learn their names, and they are only a mere number to the school they attend. I brag to my friends about the closeness I feel to my teachers, friends, bus drivers, and even the trashman. The post office supervisor even sends emails to the students praising our hardwork and encouraging us to continue on. I brag about how much I feel comfortable and safe in a town that's nowhere near home.

Again, we have the most friendly students and faculty at AU. I feel at home when I am at school. Sometimes I never want to leave...as strange as that is to say. The Nursing Program is fantastic!

When concerning my school, I brag most about the people I met here. I also tend to brag on the choirs which I sing on, and the students singing groups I also sing on. Lastly, I would brag on our sports team and players. I am manager for the women basketball team, and I always say they are a group of lovely ladies.

When Im telling my friends about AU, I brag about how amazing it is. I stress on the nice people; they smile, open doors, and have open conversations with you. Unlike back home, you would hardly find a strange that wanted to get to know you. Also I say how much I love the faculty and staff. Here I find the teachers genuinely care and want the best for you. While changing my major I had a hard time until the faculty and staff helped me through it. I tell them that I am not at college but at home.

Anderson has truly wonderful people. I love being an art student there. The art department is small enough that I know all of my professors, and most of them are already familiar with my work. The art community is very welcoming and sincere. Most of my closest friends, I met working in the studio. It is great to have people to talk idea through with that you know you will see later.

The thing that I tell my friends the most when they ask about Anderson, or why I chose Anderson, is simple. There's nowhere else that I'm going to find a school where everyone is a family. This year we had a guy get in a car accident and our student body raised money, all of us, to help his family pay for hospital bills and other expenses. Anderson University is a family like no other.

The staff is very involved with the students at Anderson University. It is important to me to have a good relationship with the professors, who give us their expertise on any course of study. It is the genuine care of the professors at Anderson University that determines the success of our future. The motivation that the professors give their students, help push us to maintain excellence in everything we do.

I would say the availability of the professors is something I brag about. Also, the school's expecation of excellence in the student's work is challenging.

I brag most about my school's athletic department.

Anderson University not only calls itself a Christian University, but they uphold the school and students to that standard. They provide many opportunities to get involved with different campus minstries. The siz eof the school is great. Classroom sizes provide the ability to have one-on-one time witht the teacher if needed. The classes are a good size, but we can also get the help we need very easily. The teachers are always willing to help and set a great example for what a Christian teacher should be, and they always keep a positive atmosphere in the classroom.
