There are a lot of good academic programs. The students are mostly friendly and great to talk to and work with. If you are hoping to make friends who want to about spiritual things with you, you can find them here. There are really great professors in my department (science and math). They have chapel every day, and there is often an encouraging or challenging message from the Bible. The campus is pretty, and I enjoy walking around there. I think, for the most part, it has all the things it really needs to have, and the cons generally are the high cost and problems like that which you find at just about any college.
Personally, I hold Cedarville close to my heart. I may be biased because my dad is a professor at the university, but I believe my claim holds strong when I say it is one of the best in the region- even in all of Ohio. In all of the time I've spent visiting there, (and I've visited a lot), Cedarville has always been welcoming and full of exciting potential. I'm enrolled as a student there this coming fall, and I'm brimming over with excitement! There are so many programs, the faculty and the alumni are so kind and encouraging, and everyone there is full of positivity! Cedarville's goal is to get you to learn the right way, and to grow as a person through it. Everything they do is full of purpose and teaching built on the Bible. That to me is worth more than anything else I could study. And that's not to even mention the community around the college! It's in a small town, where everyone knows everybody and the stores sell good, homemade food. The facilities inside Cedarville are modern, up-to-date, and nothing is lacking. The best part: they even have their own Chick-fil-A!
I absolutely love everything about Cedarville. The community is amazing and the professors are so encouraging both inside and outside the classroom. They take time to talk with you not just about academics but also life. They genuinely care for you and are always doing their best to help however they can.
Cedarville University is an excellent place to learn and grow, both as a person and as a Christian. The faculty and staff are amazing. They care deeply for the students and go out of their way to serve them. The academics are also excellent--the students are expected to pursue excellence in all that they do. The students also have a wonderful community, with lots of fun extra-curricular and campus events. All in all, it is a wonderful school with a wonderful community.
The fall 2020 acceptance rate for Cedarville University is 69%. That means, out of _____ applications received in 2020 , _____ students were offered admission. The number of males who applied was _____ vs the number of females which was _____.
I would tell them to start early and take their time. There are so many wonderful colleges and universities to attend. Take the time to go and visit these schools, to learn about the programs they offer. No one school is perfect, nor is any one school the same as another; each one offers something a little different than another one. So, take the time to get to know and understand what it is you like and dislike about each school. If you move to fast, you may wind up choosing a school that does not suit your needs or wants in an education and may very well regret your decision (plus losing all of the money that went into finalizing that decision). College is a great experience. Take the time to choose the one that suits you best.
My classmates are friendly and caring and are always looking for ways to pray for me and help me with whatever I am struggling with.
not enough racial diversity. they try, but haven't really grown enough yet.
I wish I had known that the school had such a rigorous program. It has been very benefitial to learn new things at Cedarville, and they make a huge effort to help you find where you fit when it comes to majors.
the location (hard to get to places without a car, and it's cold and windy).
The best thing is that it is a Christ-centered campus; the majority of my fellow students have one goal: to glorify God in everything we do! Also, there is always something fun to get involved in on campus such as, being in a discipleship group, volunteering for different organizations, playing intramural sports, dorm wars, friday night movies, etc. Cedarville is an amazing university with encouraging professors who want each of their students to be successful not only in their professions, but also in their walk with God.
Good, friendly environment.
I was attracted by the small class sizes and the personal relationships that one can build in such enviorment. Also, it is a Christ-Centered institution that emphasizes the importance of building a strong faith in Jesus Christ. No other universities I looked at offered that the way Cedarville did.
Someone who is not able to accept authority or who does not want to live for Christ.
Cedarville is a Christ-centered university that embraces each student as a member of a big family that cares about you individually; on an academic and personal level, providing you with a broad range of opportunities both social and academically to assist you in preparing for your future career and making friends for life!
Cedarville University is certainly not for everyone, however, people looking for a small (around 3,000 students), faith based, person-oriented, and challenging academic environment will find it at Cedarville. Academic coaching is avaliable and spiritual growth is emphasized. There are also plenty of opportunities to serve the surrounding community and build upon personal character. Students who want a holistic educational experience will find Cedarville an ideal campus. Professors are well qualified for their positions and academics are challenging. Students are encouraged to develop as a whole person: spiritually, mentally, and physically. Anyone looking for this will enjoy Cedarville.
Solid academics, and balanced rules with an emphasis on Bible classes.
Yes
Rigorous - this is no "party school". Professors are fair, personable and approachable; they genuinely care about their students on a personal and professional level.
These kids know how to have fun - genuine and personable. Great Student Life division plans so many activities students have to choose and balance their social lives with academic requirements. Basketball games regularly turn out two-thirds of the student body.
Well educated, extraordinary employees
Cedarville is a great school and provides a very positive experience for the vast majority of its students. Possibly too conservative for some, Cedarville discerns truth through a biblical lens. Daily chapel and a Bible minor are distinctive of the Cedarville Experience.
