Tuition is fairly expensive, but there is no place else I'd rather be. It is well worth the cost.

I love it here, I really do. It is on the expensive side, but if you look at it from a college view, for a private Christian college it is on the more affordable side. Maybe it is just me, but I have come to the conclusion that no matter where you go for college, unless it is a community college, it is going to be expensive.

The Bible education you are getting is the best one around, so it is worth the money. If you are coming here strictly for you academic major though, it probably isn't worth it, because so few of the professors studied things outside of the Bible for their PhD.

My schooling is paid for through VA. It is a private school. Bang for the buck, I cannot tell you that. Information is online. www.ciuonline.edu

accepted here and planning to attend soon
CIU is expensive and will only be affordable if you make it so. Apply for scholarships and work hard to maintain a high GPA! It is definitely worth the money. Attending CIU is a life changing experience.
