Jennifer - 05/11/2018

I love CCU. The campus is very safe and welcoming. There could be improvements made in the extracurricular areas, but the University is constantly getting better. The campus offers superb on-campus employment. The atmosphere is very multicultural. It’s a great school if you care about your education and about God!

Andrew - 02/02/2018

I graduated from the Bridges (Post-Secondary) program. The school's not what it used to be.

Jordyn - 12/20/2017

It is a good school for students to get their education and learn more about God. There are some issues with the people running the school, but the people there and the overall environment is awesome! As far as athletics goes, we have good teams, but they are not the most successful.

Jennifer - 10/24/2017

Cincinnati Christian University is an amazing college with lots of fun activities to do. Campus life is faith-focused and the faculty is amazing. The food is sometimes so-so, and there's not much to do on campus during the weekends, but those are pretty much the only downsides

  10. What are the academics like at your school?

    The academics here have been amazing. In each of my classes I feel that the professors have a more sincere feeling towards students. A feeling where you know they will be there for anything you might need because they really love their job. Also the school has a strong focus in attendance which I personally like because at most schools teachers don't take it and typically have no focus on who all is in case. But at CCU professors really do care and wants everyone to be successful in their studies.
