Azusa Pacific University Top Questions

The worst thing, which is not even that bad, is that the offices can sometimes be disorganized in documentation and record keeping. Otherwise, the school is fantastic.

Worst thing about APU is tuition money, but every school is expensive so I would say it's worth it anyway.

Personally, I think the worst thing about my school, is that it is really focused on being a Christian college. I'm Catholic, and did not expect to feel this uncomfortable at a Christian college, since Catholicism is considered a form of Christianity.

The difference in social classes many are unaware of the poverty in Los Angeles or poverty in the country.

The communication between staff or faculty and students. The faculty seems to be out of touch and unconcerned with students

The thing about Azusa Pacific University (APU) that I consider to be the worst attribute of the school is the competition for entrance into the Nursing Program. Over 100 students apply for admission to the Program each semester, yet there are only 30-40 openings. Many students who don't get into the program will either change their major or transfer to a school with a less competitive program. Neither of these choices are options for me though. I already transferred schools once and don't want to do it again, I am also very set against changing my major.

The worst thing about my school would be that it is an extremely small campus. Only about 6,000 students overall. I felt that there's not much diversity and different kinds of people. Everybody is about the same. I was fortunate enough to meet some people that I do along with. I just wished that there were more people like me. I like diversity and it makes a school strong.

In my experience at this Institution the only negative thing worth mentioning is as a transfer student I found it difficult to integrate with with the students who had been attending the school since their freshman year. They had already developed substantial relationships with one another by their third year into school. There may be a balance between the programs they did offer to help integrate new students and between my inability to easily forge relationships with a group of new people. I believe that if the University had more programs targeted specifically for transfer students it would have helped.

I don't think that there is a "worst thing" about my school

I would consider the worst thing about my school to simply be the expenses. The reason for this that it gets very hard to fully reach potential with some of the expenses that are at hand. For instance, one book may be over $200 and so often times, one wants to share books with another person ornot buy the book and this hinders the academic ability to do as well as possible. This also goes for meal plans and parking permits. People are disuaded from purchasing these things that they need due to the cost of it.
