Michael

The smaller school creates a much more close knit relationship between students. The faculty are actively interested in the academics and lives of the students, adn help in ayway they can. The administrators and financial aid people were a whole lot better about working with me on getting things done in a prompt and efficient manner. Even if you are different from other people all the student body just seems to act like one big family, most of the time.

Ryon

I think the small, close knit community on campus really makes Anderson University unique. If I do not personally know another student, I have at least seen them on campus multiple times before. There is almost the sense of family when I set foot on campus.

Lauren

My school is unique in many ways compared to other schools I considered attending, but the major difference is the way in which every single person, whether a student, staff, or professor pours into my life. From the moment I stepped on campus, I could visibly see that my school was unique. Everyone was so helpful and encouraging - and still are, as I continue my education at this institution. The staff especially want to make our college life enjoyable and memorable by planning many events. Professors know you by name and are helpful, both concerning curricula and life.

Anderson University is a Christian campus. The student environment is incredible and there are so many opportunities to get involved. The atmosphere is very welcoming and the class sizes average about 17-25 students. I chose Anderson over the other schools because of the size and the fact that it was a Christian environment.

Julia

Anderson University is a private Baptist institution, which allows for some unique curriculum. The faculty and staff are looking to help guide us, and it is encouraging to learn from professors who have biblical beliefs. Going to a Christian school, as a Christian and follower of Jesus allows me to be more open with my beliefs. In my Communication class, we examined a book or character from the Bible using principles of Communication. This was a unique exercise that would have never been offered at the other state schools I was considering.

I chose Anderson not only because of the financial aid awarded, but also because it provided an environment that allowed me to grow as a Christian. It encouraged me to be open about my beliefs. I learned so much about how faith integrates into the secular world and how I may act in a work environment via the example of the professors.
