Students who want to get a step ahead of the rest I would encourage to attend this particular university.

A student who wishes for a very close sense of community should attend Spring Arbor. One of the draws for this school is the social and learning environment.

Once a solid bond is established with a few people on campus, students are more at ease with their academic life.

The program I am attending through Spring Arbor University, but in Northern Michigan and online, is perfect for adults returning to school to finish a degree like myself. It is not limited to those in my situation though. This school offers great programs that meet the desires and goals for many students seeking a four year degree in Social Work, Early Childhood Education, and Elementary and Secondary Education. I am not familiar with their on-campus programs, only those offered here in Northern Michigan in the cities of Gaylord, Petoskey, and Cheboygan. This is also a good school for Christians.

A self-learner- the teachers most likely will not captivate you to learn- you must know how to do it on your own.

Since there is such a wide variety of people on campus, I honestly couldn't say. What I can say is that since Spring Arbor University (SAU) is a Christian institution based on Weslyan traditions, that might give one a general idea of how things are run. I love that the faculty and staff at SAU are genuinly interested in the student's best interests and are always trying to help out. Something potential students need to know about SAU is that it is a private school that is relatively expensive, but does offer great financial aid.

The type of person who should attend this school should be a person who wants a small, friendly community atmosphere. This person should want to develop their relationship with Christ on a deeper level while making new friends and being challanged academically.

Someone who is unsure about their faith, can filter what advice is good and what is bad, does not easily follow the crowd, can think for himself. Too many people think the same way and too many more follow them. THis school needs people ho think differently and aren't afraid to say so. Discussion needs to be sparked. Faiths and comfort zones need to be challenged. Attitudes need to be changed.

I believe that Spring Arbor University sees each person, no matter their past or who they are as an individual, as a potential student. The University reaches out to everyone who is eager to learn more. If a student is ready and willing to apply themselves to their studies they will not only achieve so much, but they will also learn what is takes to go far.

A person who is looking for more of a personal relationship with their professors and God. I feel that this school does a great job describing the religious and non-religious views of the world, but it is important to be open minded if one decides to attend this university. If someone wants to be in an environment that develops close relationships, this is definitely the place to be. But be aware this school is smaller than most, so it is easy to meet new people.

The kind of person that should attend this school is anyone looking for a place to grow spirituall.

Anyone who want's to be a part of a small school, student's who want to be challenged to grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ. Or students who simply have the desire to learn more about the world from the Christian perspective.
