Thiel it's perfect in all aspects. I'm a student prospect student athlete excited to start my journey here. Thiel College is unique and the financial aid that Thiel's offers is incredible. In this college I feel that I am more then just a number. What I most love about Thiel is that we have small classes.

George - 11/10/2020

Thiel College is a beautiful campus in the quiet town of Greenville. I have been a student here for the past 3 and a half years and have been afforded many opportunities I would not have had at a larger institution. In high school I was hesitant about going to college. I had the grades to, but never really saw myself having the motivation to get a four year degree. Here I am graduating in only seven semesters because of all the support I received from the Thiel College community.

Valarie - 05/12/2020

I chose between a few different colleges and the fact that it is a bible school makes me feel more comfortable. My first year being away from home, I did not want to yet experience the life of the big college campus and I am glad that I was able to find a college that met my needs in more ways than one. Of course with all of this crazy and very untimely pandemic situations happening, I have not had an opportunity to actually live on campus yet but I have taken the initiative to go on campus. It is a very uplifting feeling to have counselors as well as the admissions department available to answer questions even the Defensive Back coach in regards to being a potential prospect to play football. The reputation of the school is good and that was important for my mom and I because getting a degree is one thing, but you also should want to attend a place of higher education that you can also be proud of. I have always desired to be a Worship Pastor and a Youth and Young Adult Pastor with the understanding that I also need to have another type of degree via being in the real world. I started working in the ministry at church since I was 14 years of age but I also desired to be a Special Education teacher because of my love for kids who are considered on the "spectrum". The school offers a Secondary Education / Special Education Degree, has a football team, close to home, a bible college and seems to be just the right size for me!

Hali - 04/15/2020

Thiel College is like no other, it's a comfortable, welcome, and warming environment. There is not a person on campus that won't make you feel accepted. Thiel College is located in Greenville, PA. where students from all around the world come from. Last semester I commuted instead of being a resident, but after Christmas break I decided to move onto campus for the real life college experience. Thiel is a very small school with class sizes about the size of 10-20 students per a class. When I became a resident I didn't expect to be rooming with a foreign exchange student from South Korea. I had the best time of my life, she was just like me but from another country. We shared all of our gossip together and simply enjoyed the time we had together. When the pandemic hit we got evacuated from our dorms, but I never thought it would be the last time I got to spend another day with my roommate. Thiel provided me with an experience that I will never forget and I will always be great full for that.
