Sarah

The best thing about my school would be the encouragement to follow your faith and Christ. There is a freedom to discover what you believe and create and form your morals as an individual.

Kelsi

The best thing about my school is the core program it really helps a student adjust to the college life. Core is actually a class you get graded in it meets 3 times a week and there are 12-18 other people in the group. These people can become your closest friends. I love this program because without it I would not be able to be a successfull college student.

Ben

In my opinion, the best thing about Spring Arbor University is the tightly-knit and always-friendly body of students and faculty. We have a significantly smaller campus, which can be a disadvantage to some, but also provides a strong sense of community. Positive attitudes and warm personalities are commonplace at Spring Arbor. Friends are not hard to come by, and the school organizes many social events for students to find their niche.

Ariana

The best thing about Spring Arbor University is the community of friends that I have built. I am surrounded by people who love and care for me, but also challenge and encourage me to grow spiritually and academically.

Hannah

I would say one of the best things about Spring Arbor University is the faculty. Every professor is solely interested in the lives of their students and make very helpful suggestions and give much needed encouragement to lead us in the right direction that is best for us (as individuals). They care about our personal life, and are very lenient and understanding when something comes up or things get too difficult. They always want what is best for us.

Hannah

Spring Arbor University has a strong sense of Christian community. This creates a welcoming and comfortable environment for incoming freshman. It becomes easy to connect with the people on campus as you start our your college career. The professors are role models of this environment, and the love of Jesus and God radiate throughout the campus.

Rebecca

The community here is very strong and strongly encouraged. I feel that this is very valuable to your personal growth and the people around you because in life, you are always interacting with the world around you. Learning how to interact with others at a younger age is extremely important. It provides opportunities for you and develops your overall well-being.

that it is close to home, the people here really try and help to make your expierence the best it can. Very kind people all around.

Alex

I think that the community at Spring Arbor has to be the best part. Not just community in the classrooms and with the professors, but in the dorms and through campus activities. Spring Arbor is a place where I feel like I can belong.

Karen

I chose this university because it will allow me to go back to school and finish my Bachelors Degree in Social Work while I continue to work full time during the day. It is an accelerated Bachelors Degree program specifically for full time working adults to continue and complete their education. I will attend one night a week for four hours and then work independently or in teams the nights of my choice. I look forward to getting a better paying job and then perhaps continuing on to get my Masters Degree.

Toria

The best thing about Spring Arbor is that it's a university that allows their student to be educated, while eencouraging many student to living a saved life through our Lord and savior, Jesus Christ. This university doen't only help its community, but it also allow students to leave the country to experience different parts of the world, all while getting college credit for leaving the country.

The best thing about my school is the Christ centered education that I am reciving. I love that Christ is fit into every class that I take. I can grow in my faith and prepare for a career all at the same time.

Camille

Spring Arbor is the eptiome of Christian love. They are willing to help and willing to be there no matter what happens.

Andrea

The best thing about my school is the small community inside of the "school perimeter." This is not just a school with big building, teachers, and students. Instead, this is a school where life-long friendships are made. Teachers and students have personal relationships and are there to support one another. The President know students by name and is a "present" part of the community. Spring Arbor University is a place for fellowship, learning, and showing the love of God to everyone we come into contact with. All of this is said with a huge emphasis on accademics and integrity.

Zach

Close to home

Michelle

All the staff, students and professors are wonderful. Each of them are just a phone call away.

Ivy

Spring Arbor University strives to cultivate prosperity in its students. Encompassed in every program and class you will experience a confidence from others that you, the student, can be better and are better than what society and the larger world believes about you. Spring Arbor University will push you beyond the lies that chain you down and will transform you into a healthier person capable of living a purpose-driven life.

Jessica

I love that are school is so community based. You may not be super close with a lot of people, but even if you do not know someone, they always say hi when you walk by each other. I love living in a dorm. The girls on my floor to a lot of things together, even have dinner together almost every evening.

Karly

The best thing about our school is the support from the students and everybody's willingness to help. The students and faculty support all the sports, it is not rare to see the stands filled with faces that you would only see at school. Also everybody at the schools willingness to help you out in any way you can. There are few teachers out there who can say that they will do anything for you that they can and mean it, and here at Spring Arbor they can say it with confidence.

Myranda

I consider the best thing about Spring Arbor to be the sense of community. It is a very small school, so it really just feels like you're all a big family. Everyone is there to support and help each other when needed. Also, there are lots of campus events that bring people together and many opportunities to make friends.

Amanda

I consider the best thing about my school (Spring Arbor University) is that there is such a great atmosphere for worship in God. We completely surround ourselves with God and his plan for us. We learn how lead a truly Christian way of life. The school holds a Chapel for us Monday's and Wesdays were we go and Worship god all together as one and it is just overwelming how much emotion and spiritual connection we have with eachother when we are there. That would have to be the best thing about my School.

Morgan

The community and the attention are the best things about SAU.

Kylie

Community! Because we are a community of learners who desire to grow closer together, to God and to reach out to our community and participate in the contemporary world around us.

Jonathan

The best thing I like about Spring Arbor University is the Christian atmosphere. It is easy to tell through the actions of people that it is a Christ-centered environment. One of my professors before every class asks for prayer requests and prays with the students, it really is incredible. By having a Christ-like environment to learn, I can openly pray with others about possible issues and receive spiritual help, I love it!!!

Rebekah

The best thing about Spring Arbor University is the community that is created here. From the second a person steps onto the Spring Arbor campus, he/she will feel enveloped in an amazing atmosphere that only the students and faculty here could create. SAU is a friendly, uplifting university, and the people who attend here are the ones that make that sense of strong community come to life. The best thing about Spring Arbor University is, by far, the people who make Spring Arbor the amazing place that it is.

Kate

The best thing is the professors, they are very helpful and kinda and most of them are very good at teaching their subject.

Ashley

The best thing about SAU is the community. They want everyone to feel welcome and have many activities to bring students together.

Christine

I would consider the community to be the best thing about my school. Everyone comes together and treats eachother with love and respect. I feel very comfortable there. It is definitely my home away from home. Everyone that I have met has changed my life in some way or another. The community springs off of the relationship each of us has with Jesus. You can see the evidence of His love all over the campus!

Justa

The cohort program I am in allows me to attend classes at night so that I may keep my full-time job during the day.

Annette

I appreciate the small class sizes and the genuine interest professors have in the success of their students. Professors are readily available to provide clarification as needed as well as direction to additional resources. In addition, each student is assigned a Professor in his/her respective program whose role is to help navigate program requirements. This type of personalized attention is rare in today's universities.

Allison

The best thing about my school is the opportunity to meet quality friends for a lifetime. You are able to meet people here who have deep values and beliefs. At some schools it can be harder to meet such good friends because the social life is focused on partying. There are many chances at Spring Arbor where you are able to mingle with new people and share similar qualities on a deeper level.

Linda

I have to give Spring Arbor credit for shaping their course work around nontraditional students who have families and are required to work as well. I am in an accelerated degree program and have to keep a rigid work schedule. Spring Arbor has shown excellent support for returning adult students and I have found their staff to be very accomodating and available for assistance. In addition, their website has been a blessing for keeping up with what is happening in my course of study and communicating with fellow students in my class.

Ethan

The experience that I have had at Spring Arbor is unique. Many students go to school to forget the lies they have been taught and thus lose the morals they were brought up with. Here though, its more about finding your morals than loosing them. Just because Spring Arbor is a Christian environment doesn?t mean that the students live in a stereotypical bubble. I feel like a lot of the students here have already lived lives that they aren't proud of and therefore they are driven to change. They are here because they haven?t given up hope.

Rachel

The friendly community. From the very first day students feel welcome and comfortable. Teachers will bend over backwards to help you and students and faculty are extreemly close.

Britney

the christian envrioment and the people

Krista

There are many things that I truly enjoy about Spring Arbor University, however one thing that Spring Arbor has that I find irreplaceable is the staff's connection with its students. When our teachers scan their classroom they see more then ID numbers and papers to grade, but instead they see us as individuals. They treat us with respect and are willing to meet us on our learning level. They often give their phone numbers out to students, and encourage them to keep in contact as much as possible throughout the class in case any questions may arise.

Jenna

The best thing about Spring Arbor is the srtong sense of community. There is always something going on on campus and there are many options. Also because of the smaller campus students really get to know each other. Students find a lot of support from each other and from student leaders.

Rebekah

The best thing about Spring Arbor would definitely be the community. It's a term that finds itself floating around amongst all of the students, and it certainly is a term that can describe the atmosphere here. The [majority of] students love others, have compassionate hearts, and desire to help other students grow in all aspects of their lives. I am thankful to be a part of such a wonderful school, and I would encourage any high school student hoping to pursue a great college to check out Spring Arbor University. I'm thankful to be here!

Jonathan

The orientation into a college atmosphere is a point that Spring Arbor stresses. They have a required course that introduces you to college life and the study of the liberal arts. They show you all that you need to be successful at school here--socially and academically.

Joshua

The professors and the friendly community environment are the best part of my school. The professors are there because they love what they teach and really want to see their students succeed. Also, the students at Spring Arbor University are very friendly and accepting. It's like having a second family away from home. I have made some great friendships here that I hope will last long after graduation.

Matthew

The best thing would definitely have to be the atmosphere. I just really love how kind and friendly people are at Spring Arbor University. I have never been one for school spirit, probably never will be but, at SAU people have God Spirit. I am totally down with that! Whoo Hoo for Jesus! My school is awesome because the presence of God is always near.

Lillian

The absoulute best thing about my school is the community! Everyone is so diverse which make a great base for learning more about different types of people

Kaleigh

The sense of community here. People here feel like their college friends are their family, and you typically know at least one person in every one of your classes.

Emily

The friendliness of the students, professors and other faculty.

Tamara

I love my school's online education for adults. I returned to school at age 49 to complete my degree, and my school made the process inviting and painless.

Rebecca

As an adult learner I am happy with the accelerated pace of classes. I enjoy working on only one class at a time, but still being a full-time student.

Samantha

The Degree Completion Program works well with adults that have to both work and finish their education. Their classes are challenging, and the timing is excellent. It is great to be able to interact with other adults while attending college, as well. I don't have to deal with the post-high-school drama that is so prevalent in the college freshmen's minds. As an enrollee in a DCP, I believe that such programs are the best things found in education today.

Gretchen

The friendliness and Christ-centered asmosphere are truly the best characteristics of my university.
