I think it is very peaceful and relaxing but a bit isolating. It would be fund if there could be public transportation free for students to go to Chattanooga. One idea could be cultural fairs and festivals in which there are vendors in which clubs, students, etc sell food or items. Another idea could be more outside restaurants sold on campus to increase a taste of diverse flavors and foods.
Southern is a great campus to be at. There are lots of opportunities to get together with other students and to have a social life on the weekends. On the weekdays there is a lot of studies going on all across campus. There are many different areas on campus where you can study at. That could mean being traditionally in the Library or even in the nontraditional areas, like the kitchen dorm room lobby. We also have a student center that’s great for group studying and the promenade is a great place to be when the weather outside is delightful! On the weekends there is lots of different opportunities for those who choose to sleep in or for those who like to visit the outdoors. Not too far from the country life, with many mountains where hiking or cliff jumping can be done. City life is about 20 minutes away. Where you will find all kinds of things to do in downtown are or for some shopping. With all the good there is to talk about you must always stay focused on you studies and manage your time wisely. Time fly’s here, and before you know it may be one in the morning with you studying. It also may be cheaper to make your own food in the kitchens, but the café also sells food but at a steeper price. All food is weighted, but when you have no choice you have to do what you have to do. Look into this college and see if it’s a fit for you. This college is indeed spiritually and mentally powered.
Southern has the most friendly campus I could imagine, along with incredible academic opportunities. It is one of the only schools to offer character animation as a major that isn't flooding with students. This allows the staff to maintain personal connections with each of their students. It excels in many other focuses as well including the medical field. Southern does an amazing job of providing the best opportunities possible in a loving way and truly reaches out to all who need help. I am proud to be at this school and would not have chose any other school to attend.
This school has made it really easy for me to love it. There's plenty of help available for struggling students, or students that need any sort of assistance. The staff are friendly and genuine about helping their kids, the campus is under constant surveillance, and they accommodate to the passions of their students from arts to physical activities. I love the school, and it has shown me that it loves me back!

Past me, you’re very intelligent; use it to your advantage. Stay in the state you grew up in and go to a college of your choice there, it will be financially beneficial for you and your family. Make the most of your senior year academically, don’t settle for one score, and push yourself to the best you know you can achieve. In a couple years, you will lose your aunt closest to you, don’t let that deter from school. Keep pushing yourself and focus on your goals until you graduate. Remember, you can do anything, don’t be persuaded by the misguidance of others. You’re a fast learner and you can do anything you put your mind towards. If you say you’re going to do something, do it. The people who do best in this world are those who follow through, who figure out how to get things done. As Vince Lombardi said, “Leaders are made, they are not born. They are made by hard effort, which is the price which all of us must pay to achieve any goal that is worthwhile.”
What I think is the worst thing about Southern Adventist University is the price of food in the cafeteria. When I can eat at Olive Garden or at the cafeteria for the same price, there is a problem. However, there are other more reasonably priced places to eat on campus. This is the worst thing about Southern because almost everything else is awesome!
The most frustrating bout the campus is the curfew, its for our well being but it can get reallly annoying at times.
Balance and spiritual.
I wish I had known what I was going to major in... I would have been much better prepared.
Rich people, or sons and daughters of people who work for th Seventh Day Adventist Church.
Quality Christian Education.
The best thing about SAU is that it is very friendly and welcoming to you as a Freshman. There are many financial awards offered for your first year. SAU has a strong spiritual atmosphere and a respect for moral uprightness. Most students are very interested in Christ and bringing others to know him. There are many on campus activities constantly available for students. Because the school only has 3,000 students, it is more like a family of college students. There is a wide variety of majors and professions to choose from at Southern. Professors are eager to help.
The overall environment is friendly and warm; the academics are excellent; the price was lowest for the quality.
Everyone is welcome and accepted at this school.
My classmates are very helpful in keeping my learning environment prosperous and less stressful
My educational opportunities such as the guest speakers and the focus on our beliefs. I have learned so much about what I believe, its AMAZING! Education wise I am learning way more here then when I was at community. My classes here prepare me for things that happen throughtout the day without even knowing it. Each day I use some type of information I have learned from my class or Professor. Another is that my Professors care about me. There is a relationship in the classroom and outside. I am able to talk to them about anything!!
