Winona Lake, IN
Grace College and Theological Seminary

If you are actively looking for a religious school, Grace College is a great place to go. If, however, you do not hold to conservative Christian ideals, many of the classes will likely be uncomfortable for you. Many classes are taught based on the assumption that the students agree with these ideals, and assignments often contain a religious element. Furthermore, mandatory chapel services three times a week can be a great opportunity for building community... or for catching up on sleep depending on the day and the speaker. The professors are wonderful, and there are great support systems in place for students who struggle academically. The campus culture revolves around community, which can feel alienating if you have not found your squad, but freshman classes are designed to help new students make friends and become involved.

The blended masters program is why I chose to attend (BS and MBA in 3.5 years for me). The accounting program is phenomenal, Dr. Stichter really cares about his students and relays scholarship and job opportunities weekly. The food is pretty bad, Beta and Alpha are horrible dorms but the rest are pretty nice.

It's a good school with great faculty, great involvement opportunities, and good facilities. Some of the higher-ups in the administration have made some questionable decisions that have me concerned about the future of the school itself, but for the immediate future, the welcoming on-campus culture and generous financial aid opportunities are more than enough to convince me to stay here.

This is the best choice for a Clinical Mental Health Counseling degree! The faculty are dedicated to helping you become the best counselor you can be! I have looked at other programs and this one is by far the best. They are CACREP accredited. Residency prepares you to succeed in the program.

I love it here! The classes are small, and it's easy to get to know your professors. There are plenty of clubs and activities to participate in and you really feel cared for personally as a student here at Grace. One of my favorite parts is that in most classes, there are lots of discussions about how we can integrate our faith with our future job and career.

I love the community. I was afraid that it would be too small and too restrictive, but it's the perfect size and the rules are mostly logical and permissive. The faculty is amazing. You will often have the same professor for more than one class, but I love that.

Grace College and Theological University is one of the most accepting, kind, and genuinely caring groups of people I've ever had the great privilege of coming across. Located in small own Winona Lake, the campus has wide access to local shops, boating, swimming, parks, and excellent views. It's a pretty small school! I just finished up my first of three years at Grace and out of the students there, I'm confident that I've met them all and know most of them by name. You cannot leave your dorm building without parades of people smiling at you, greeting you good morning, and letting you know that you're known, valued, and loved. The school has strong Christian values and establishes them well for their students, providing an overall loving and accepting atmosphere. Sure, the food could always be better, the weather could be a bit warmer, and the classes could start a little later, but you'll never come across a school with kinder students, more welcoming faculty, more committed professors, or as wonderful of a community. Check it out! After all, Grace is the place for your face!

Every time I step on Grace's campus, I feel at home. The overall atmosphere is welcoming and genuinely friendly and all of the students there are very inviting. Whenever I am on campus I have been included in any activities going on and my volleyball teammates help me feel like I belong. I have great relationships with my professors and have the blessing of being able to enjoy Chapel three days a week. Grace College offers an amazing community an outstanding education.

It is a very friendly, safe, and community centered campus. The professors are all really passionate about what they teach, and I also just love how they focus on incorporating their faith into what they are teaching. This means starting out lessons with prayer, and helping their students to challenge their faith and learn or appreciate something new or more about their faith.

It is a great place to be. It is very educational, and it promotes spiritual health too. There is little to no crime in the surrounding area, and there are a bunch of cool little shops off campus including a candy store. Everything you need is within walking distance, and there are churches everywhere.
