Cedarville, OH
Cedarville University

I think Cedarville is very appealing, both academically and because they are in the process of building a Chick-fil-A on campus. Their campus is super safe and feels like it could be home. A student there once told me that they just leave their keys/purse/wallets/skateboards wherever they want and they don't have to worry about it getting stolen.

Where do I even begin? First of all Cedarville claims to be a Christian college and it is in the sense of it preaches the Bible and the professors are very serious about their faith and genuinely care about the faith of their students. I really appreciate the fact that they preach the Bible and hold to a strict interpretation of it. No complaints about that but everything else about this school sucks. It is extremely expensive and they will do whatever they can to get a student’s money even lying to you as a perspective student. They forgot to tell me that I would need to pay extra for summer classes if I wanted to finish my major in four years. They’re summer classes are the same price as regular classes so they got an extra $6000 from me. There are a ton of hidden fees and it’s not always worth the price. Another thing about cedarville is they only care about getting students there, once you’re there they could care less about you. You pay a ton of money to go there and their food is awful it’s barely edible sometimes and the facilities are bad. They never fix things in the dorm and the buildings are mediocre. They also treat their students like children, there are a ton of rules and some of them are justifiable while others are just an attempt to control the students. For example the curfew rule like we are adults what is the point of a curfew? Also there are always a few scandals every year at the school and instead of addressing them the school makes everybody be quiet about it and just pretends it never happened. And don’t even get me started on the students. It’s like high school all over again everything is cliques. Especially with the sports teams. People on sports teams think they are so cool even though they haven’t won a game in like 3 years and if you try to talk to them and you’re not on a sports team they treat you like trash. Try to make a friend group quickly because if you don’t everyone will look down on you and not talk to you because they think you’re beneath them. If you do have a friend group it’s probably a really shallow friendship because everyone just smiles and pretends everything is good all the time. Guys and girls cannot just be friends here. Guys assume when a girl talks to them that she loves him and wants to marry him right away. Everybody is so immature and naive here, dating lasts like a week and then they either break up or get engaged. Ring by spring is real. And if you do break up prepared to be judged. I have never been judged more in my life than here at Cedarville and I went to a nonchristian high school. Cedarville talks about being loving and kind and even claims it’s “like heaven” well I sure hope not because you can’t even talk to someone in another friend group without being seen as creepy or obsessive. It is very rare to find a nice person that goes here that isn’t just being fake.

Cedarville University deserves a five star rating. The professors take time to meet with me about my assignments. The student body fosters a positive community of growth. Chapel encourages my soul daily. I am consistently challenged socially, academically and spiritually.

I love this school so much. There are so many good things about every single aspect of the campus and the academics. The faith life is my favorite part. I am planning to attend in Fall of 2019. I need as many scholarships as possible in order to attend. Please give me this scholarship!!!

Cedarville is an extraordinary school. The community here is so strong, and a lot of the students are so passionate about pursuing the Lord. The classes are really great, and I haven't yet had a professor who isn't willing to help me learn. Although the school is far away from a lot of shopping and off-campus activities, it's never boring on campus. Because of its size, it feels like a family. I would definitely recommend Cedarville University.

Cedarville University is an incredible college. It aids both the academic and social needs of students. The campus is small enough to feel like home, yet big enough to get to know new people. An absolutely incredible place to attend The professors are super personable and get to know their students, and student life is so much fun.

Cedarville University is a place to thrive! The academics are challenging, the community is indescribable, and the campus is beautiful. Cedarville will set you up for success in whatever field you pursue.

I honestly love Cedarville. Not only are you pushed academically by your professors, but you are also pushed spiritually by everyone around you. Christ is the center of everything at Cedarville and I believe that makes all of the difference. There is not one second that I regret attending Cedarville. And on a side note, there is a coffee shop on campus, and two downtown, and I don't believe you can get better than that!

Cedarville University has a good biblical standpoint. Because of this, the overall quality is better than average, including the students behavior and clothing. The University provides a good education, and the professors care not only about the students education, but also about the students themselves.

I have really enjoyed my time at Cedarville University, and would encourage anyone to go there.
