Melissa

People who look at Calvin should have a strong foundation in their faith- they don't have to be a Christian by any means, but know what they believe, because they will be challenged. You have to be open to what others and professors say. It's a lot tougher to stay at Calvin and do well than it is to get it, so you have to be willing to study hard! You have to love people to be here, because we won't leave you alone, either.
