Angelica - 04/21/2021

When I visited the campus, I fell in love. The landscape was beautiful. The teachers and staff were terrific, and there seemed to be so many activities to do on and around campus. But most of all, I loved how personal it is. They are there to help you succeed. You are not just a number to them, and they personalize everything they do for you. That is what I liked most about my visit and being in contact with them.

Natasha

I have really enjoyed my time at Corban University! The campus is beautiful and is located not far from downtown Salem--Oregon's capital. There are many clubs, music and sporting activities, and outdoor activities. The professors are experts in the subjects they teach and take the time to know the students. The class sizes are smaller than many other colleges and universities, making the students and professors feel like family.

Rachel

I love Corban. My university has a strong Christian community, which is extremely welcoming. Professors have high academic standards, and provide enough support for you to reach those standards.

Isaac

It's awesome. The professors are amazing, the student community is fascinating, and the food is pretty good, too. Dorm life is awesome here, and the campus is actually rated as the 4th most safe in the entire nation. That's pretty good! I would heartily recommend Corban to anyone looking for a great Christian college.
