The cohort program I am in allows me to attend classes at night so that I may keep my full-time job during the day.

I appreciate the small class sizes and the genuine interest professors have in the success of their students. Professors are readily available to provide clarification as needed as well as direction to additional resources. In addition, each student is assigned a Professor in his/her respective program whose role is to help navigate program requirements. This type of personalized attention is rare in today's universities.

The best thing about my school is the opportunity to meet quality friends for a lifetime. You are able to meet people here who have deep values and beliefs. At some schools it can be harder to meet such good friends because the social life is focused on partying. There are many chances at Spring Arbor where you are able to mingle with new people and share similar qualities on a deeper level.

I have to give Spring Arbor credit for shaping their course work around nontraditional students who have families and are required to work as well. I am in an accelerated degree program and have to keep a rigid work schedule. Spring Arbor has shown excellent support for returning adult students and I have found their staff to be very accomodating and available for assistance. In addition, their website has been a blessing for keeping up with what is happening in my course of study and communicating with fellow students in my class.

The experience that I have had at Spring Arbor is unique. Many students go to school to forget the lies they have been taught and thus lose the morals they were brought up with. Here though, its more about finding your morals than loosing them. Just because Spring Arbor is a Christian environment doesn?t mean that the students live in a stereotypical bubble. I feel like a lot of the students here have already lived lives that they aren't proud of and therefore they are driven to change. They are here because they haven?t given up hope.

The friendly community. From the very first day students feel welcome and comfortable. Teachers will bend over backwards to help you and students and faculty are extreemly close.

There are many things that I truly enjoy about Spring Arbor University, however one thing that Spring Arbor has that I find irreplaceable is the staff's connection with its students. When our teachers scan their classroom they see more then ID numbers and papers to grade, but instead they see us as individuals. They treat us with respect and are willing to meet us on our learning level. They often give their phone numbers out to students, and encourage them to keep in contact as much as possible throughout the class in case any questions may arise.

The best thing about Spring Arbor is the srtong sense of community. There is always something going on on campus and there are many options. Also because of the smaller campus students really get to know each other. Students find a lot of support from each other and from student leaders.

The best thing about Spring Arbor would definitely be the community. It's a term that finds itself floating around amongst all of the students, and it certainly is a term that can describe the atmosphere here. The [majority of] students love others, have compassionate hearts, and desire to help other students grow in all aspects of their lives. I am thankful to be a part of such a wonderful school, and I would encourage any high school student hoping to pursue a great college to check out Spring Arbor University. I'm thankful to be here!
