  • + amount for off-campus (with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus with family
  • + amount for off-campus (not with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus not with family)

What Students Are Saying

A beautiful Christian community with nothing but nice genuine people, professors at the top of their academic game, and a relaxed campus a home away from home.
Acacia from Fresno, CA
The atmosphere at this school is so welcoming. The admissions counselors and everyone on campus is so friendly. It is small (extremely small almost the size of a high school but that just makes it more personable and easy to get around in) and close knit community.
