Cedarville University Top Questions

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

Mychaela

I wish I had known how to study better. The work is very rigorous and challenging, and had I known how challenging it would be I would have worked harder right away at the beginning of my freshman year to learn how to study, but thankfully those first classes actually taught me how to study well, and so after my first year, I have only improved in preparing for classes and tests. I also wish I had known about the wind, because it's very strong and makes it difficult to walk in the winter :)

Katherine

I wish that I had known more about technology.

Stephanie

The workload! I attended community college for a year then transferred. This school is much more challenging and the teachers expect a lot more.

James

I wish that I had known how well I would adjust to college so that I would not have been so nervous.

Kyle

how hard it would be

Joanna

I wish I would have been aware of how heavy the workload is here at Cedarville. Everyone on campus is very focused on their studies during the week and even on weekends. The students are expected to do their best and then go above what is expected. Discipline and time management is vital in comparison with other campuses.

Ben

Don't come to school expecting it will be perfect--it's not. But it is a place of growth and learning, and the school wants us to do a lot of both, and will encourage us toward our future goals.

Courtney

I wish I had known that it would cost so much and that i would go in such great debt to go here.

Lydia

There wasn't much I didn't know about Cedarville when I came here because my two older brothers preceded me. I was well informed about the classes, dorm life, and values. Thanks to the many good things I did know about Cedarville, I wanted to come here. There have been no unpleasant surprises.

How much the school invades in your personal life. Also, the lack of scholarships.
