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.

Thiel College, Is a quiet, small college. The atmosphere is unique, in my opinion, in that the class sizes are small so the professors can give you individual guidance if necessary. The campus is beautiful and up to date with technology. Just building the new technology building puts Thiel College on the cutting edge when it comes to technology. Even though I decided not to participate in sports, there are plenty of options for the athlete. There are other volunteer options on campus that I participate in, one of which is Relay For a Life, through the Cancer Society. Being one of the organizers for a team is one of the highlights thus far of my college career. I maintain a 3.9 GPA, work hard and expect to graduate in May of 2015 as a teacher. I look forward to my career and I don't think I could gave gotten the unique individual instruction had I gone to a large college. Sincerely, Amber Port
