Spring Arbor University Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about Spring Arbor University? Why?

Kristian

I would, without hesitation, say the worst thing about Spring Arbor University was the lack of ratial diversity. I strongly believe Spring Arbor did not deny students acceptance to the university based on race; however, I also do not believe they strived to broaden their racial diversity on campus. The region Spring Arbor is located happens to be a very Caucasian dominant area. While that is not innately problematic, I do believe students were not generally privy to perspectives outside the white race.

The worst thing about my school would probably be the pressure to be in a relationship or to be happy or perky every day. If you don't feel okay about yourself or life at a moment, you are different.

the worst thing about my school is some of the rules. in my opinion you should know right from wrong and be able to make smart choices and living with the effects of these choices. some of the rules are silly.

The worst aspect of my school is the distance it is from my home. It is about two hours away from my friends and family at home. With the price of gas and being a college student, it has become more and more difficult to make the drive home.

the mandatory chapel and the visitation hours in the dorms. We are adults and should in turn be treated as such. If we can go to school and choose what we want to do with our lives then we should be able to make some basic life choices with out the school constantly looking over our shoulders.

There is no "worst" thing about Spring Arbor. I believe there is always room for improvement, but there is nothing I dislike about Spring Arbor. I truly have found the right school. The people at SAU are like family to me. I can not put a price on the gifts I have recieved in being a part of the FLE program at Spring Arbor. I always knew I was smart, but it took finding SAU to awaken my passion in life.

There is honesly no "worst thing" about my school. I love everything about my school. I guess if I have to say something I would say the guy to girl ratio. The guy to girl ratio is 60:40. Also the university is located in a small town, however I do not mind that. On the weekends to find something interesting to do you usually have to go to Jackson but other than I do not think there is anything else.

Alicia

Some of the rules turn people off. Some of them, for people like me, are exactly what people are looking for. We have strict policies about men visiting women and vise versa and strict policies about drug and alcohol use.

Autumn

How easily it becomes to get in the same routine with the same people day in and day out. It is difficult to stay connected with the outside world. This school is located in a rural community and it is easy to forget that there is an outside world just because of how lovely it is in the "Spring Arbor Bubble."

Mishell

There is almost nothing bad about this school. I was not really excited about the study abroad trip that is required of juniors. I have seperation anxiety and dont like the idea of being away from home for three weeks while I am in another country. I also feel at the same time that it will be a good experiance for me. I need to become detatched from my roots with my family just slightly, so that I can grow and become the person that God wants me to be.
