The best thing about my school is the community on campus. Anderson is home to about three thousand students, and this is a number that can be big or small at appropriate times. I can walk around campus and see familiar faces constantly, or have the pleasure of meeting new people depending on the time. I love the intentional relationships our staff builds among faculty and students. I already have many close friendships with girls on my hall and around campus and the year hasn't even finished. We all treat eachother like family, and that is invaluable to me.

I really enjoy my classes...I seem to have learned a lot.

Sara

The best thing about Anderson University is how much the faculaty cares. Any problems you have the facualty is very understanding and it makes for an enjoyable and postive classroom enviroment. Proffesors have open door office policy and you can always have someone in your corner who cares. One reason for this is classes are small enough that the proffessor can maintain one on one relationships.

Haley

The best thing about my school is the environment. I always say that if there is one word that I could use to describe my school it would be "family." The people at Anderson University are always welcoming and encouraging. The environment is fun to be a part of and easy to get involved in. Upperclassmen hang out with underclassmen and it is hard to feel left-out of something happening on campus. The students are not only inviting and friendly, but the faculty and staff are kind and treat their students as if they were their own children.

The community is hands-down the greatest thing that Anderson has to offer. The classes, the dorms, and the food are great, but you will never find a greater community anywhere else.

Amanda

The best thing about my school is that it is a Christian university that offers a Christian environment to learn in, as well as courses that are convenient.

Anderson University provides the options that are necessary in overcoming the obstacles encountered due to being a full-time Christian, mother, employee, and student simultaneously.

They are interested in your success and try to help you to be successful in their class.

I consider the education at Anderson University to be the best thing. When I enter the classroom, I know that I am going to be challenged daily. I also know that when I am given material to learn, it is the material that I will need to know and understand in my career. The professors are approachable and caring, but they also know that it is there job to prepare you for life in the real world; so they buckle down and demand nothing less than exceptional from their students. In the end, it will make us better people!

Angie

The best thing about my school so far that I have discovered is Dr. Wentworth. She is not only a wonderful teacher; she is a wonderful person. She practices what she preaches. She used to do social work and I am sad that she still is not doing it because we need social workers like her. She is true inspiration and role model for me.

Cherise

The best thing about anderson university is the ppl that you meet there. You will make plenty of friends there but for the cost to go there it isnt really worth your time to even apply...I really think we should get more for our money. RIP OFF!!

Malloree

The small classes are great and allow professors to really get to know their students and their individual needs as well as being able to spend more one on one time with each student to help them do their best. Being a Christian, I also enjoy the fact that it is a Christian university and love participating in campus ministries. It is a great way to get to know people and get involved in clubs and organizations on campus.

Darla

I love the fact that they offer Bachelor degrees online and that they are a Christian University.

This school works very hard to get any student the financial aid that they require to enroll with little to pay out of pocket. This school isn't a party school; but, if you are looking for a great school to come and learn and make new friends for life, then this is the place for you.

Lindsey

Community would definitely be the best thing about Anderson University. It's as if the student body is one, focusing on one common goal and pursuing a God-centered education. I couldn't ask for a better college. Everyone gets along with everyone and there are no cliques.

Kalli

Anderson University is a community. Although the class work and independence is a huge leap from high school, there is still a warm, comfortable feeling on campus at AU. No matter what time of day someone on campus--faculty, staff, or student--is willing to help with homework, roommate issues, repairs, or anything else needed. The transition from high school to college is radical and scary, but the relaxed, Christian community of Anderson University helps all students--first year or fifth--feel like they are at home.

ELIZABETH

The best thing about Anderson University is the acceptance of everyone. The teachers, residents, and all students are extremely inviting. They make AU extremely welcoming and you can tell everyone truly enjoying being there. Everyone is always smiling and are willing to go out of the way in order to show you that they care. The teachers are always willing to help and the students are more than willing to answer your questions. These things were extremely important and why I chose Anderson University.

I belive the best thing about Anderson University is its strive for excellence. It is a very difficult school, but I know that when I graduate I will be well prepared for the real world. They push me everyday to my maximum limit and though sometimes I feel like I just might snap, I know I will be grateful for it later.

Brittanie

The best thing about my school would have to be the family atmosphere. It's small enought o where you see the same faces every day and get close with people in your dorm building. It's nice to go to lunch and at least know one or more people in there. It is so close knit that you can feel comfortable no matter what situation.
