Spring Arbor University Top Questions

What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about your school?

Anna

The chapel is really great. Alright it`s a mandatory thing, it`s one of the greatest things to go to. The community at the school, it`s really close and everyone knows almost everyone. Th closeness that`s on campus and the chapel that occurs twice a week, would be the best parts about the school. The small campus is nice for the winter, when it`s really cold out and walking far is not desired.

Kelsi

I love we have a small campus I feel like with the small campus it makes it so much easier to get to know people. We also have to core program which is designed to help you adjust to college life. We have really nice residence halls compaired to other schools, most are community floors but some are suite style and we have computer labs in each of the halls.

Becca

The community on this campus is incredible. You can make good friends in a matter of minutes! Campus is not too small that it's all the same people, but not so big that you don't recognize anyone--it's the perfect size for forming new and lasting relationships with fellow students. Students here are generally friendly, joyful, and easy to get along with. Also, I would be doing an injustice to Spring Arbor if I didn't brag about chapel services. Each Monday and Wednesday morning, prepare yourself for extreme encouragement and intense worship!

At Spring Arbor we have activities going on all the time, making it so fitting in does not take that much effort; by the end of your first semester you will know more than half the school, by first name.

Nicholle

I brag that the school is a close knit community. Everyone is so nice and accepting. Even when you are just in line waiting for food someone who does not know you starts talking to you. It is so easy to make friends there because they are a smaller school. The professors actually take time to get to know you and care about what is going on in your life. Also everyone shows chilvery. There is always someone oppening a door for you or just stopping to say hello.

Ashley

We have small classes sizes and you know everyone! We get experiences that most schools do not! WE get to go on trips, we are required to go abroad! Our staff wants you to succeed. IT is the most amazing community of people you will ever find and I love it!

I always tell my friends how exciting it is to have all girl dorms. At first, I didn't think that would be fun, but now, I wouldn't want it any other way. I am building strong friendships with these girls that will last a lifetime. With coed dorms, that wouldn't happen.

Our cross-cultural experience (a required part of graduation). I am going to study abroad in Guatemala for a semester because Spring Arbor University sent an experienced professor down there so we can travel more efficiently and learn more effectively.

Nathan

The relationships that I have built with friends and faculty through classes and extracuricular activities. At Spring Arbor, students form close relationships with their professors.

The friendships that I have made in the time that I have been at SAU will last a lifetime.

The opportnities to grow as a person are immense.

The things I am most proud of at my school are the phenomenal art program, which is one of the top programs in Michigan, and the quality of the staff here, which is excellent. Both teachers and administrators regularly go the extra mile to help out students with whatever they need, be it financial assistance, help finding a job, or help with coursework.

Sabrina

I really like the small town feeling. The professors are personable and the class sizes are small, which makes it easier to get help and it is also more condusive to learning. Professors can really get to know you on a personal level and can help you in your job aspirations later on.

Phil

Higher education has this idea in the back of all of our heads of being overwhelming, and at times it can. But just as anything else in life, when you have the feeling that you're not on your own it becomes a lot less intimidating. Spring Arbor is a place that allows for the individual to shine, and exceed their expectations, while having professors guide you and classmates walk beside you. Whether it's in the arena of academia or the social circles of life, Spring Arbor is a great place to have people journey with you.

Katelynne

The community of friends that are here. I love being surrounded by a community that is God based. I feel comfortable being myself here and I feel like it's easier to get to know people here. With the smaller class sizes you also get to develope close relationships with the professors here.

Katie

I brag about the spiritual life of my school. There are so many ways to receive growth in the area of your spiritual life. Also to name another would be how kind the people are here. To describe "people" better I would include the staff and the students. Everyone here at SAU have great compassion and when I chose this school I chose it because it shared my same interest to reach the world.

I talk about how my campus is very social and allows everyone to fit in no matter what. Spring Arbor realy works as a community and involves every person in to the activities and not just sports.

The options I have of taking lots of different classes, that may not go with my Major, but are in my interest

Jana

When I talk to my friends about Spring Arbor University I always tell them that I love the small-knit community and all of the student events. One thing that I love are the coffee houses, they are put on once a month by students. During a coffee house we'll have either a guest singer or an open mic night where students can come and show off their talents. We also provide coffee, tea, pretzels, and other snacks for the students. I'm on of the students who helps put all of this together and I love helping out.

Jamilka

The thing I could brag about most is the commmunity. Everyone here is so loving and caring it's unbelievable. This school is like a second home for those of us who don't have a steady home. One can find so many caring people that really are here to help you.

I love to tell my friends about the atmosphere surrounding the whole school. There is a feeling of acceptance and love from not just the teachers, but also from fellow students. It doesn't matter what situations come up in life or in my studies, I can always count on support from not just my friends, but from complete strangers as well. Every school will have their own stories, good and bad, and that is what makes each place completely unique. Everyone has their own experiences they go through. It is just one continuing book written by each student.
