Categories Comments Great for these types of students Kuyper is a great fit for those looking to serve God in a community with so many opportunities. Those who wish to grow in their faith, like me, will be continuously strengthened and challenged here.
Tips for prospective students Get a head start on financial aid. Don't be afraid to ask questions; admissions counselors are there for you. Visit more than one college and seriously pray about your decisions.
Bang for the buck Kuyper College is cheaper than most private colleges in the area. But even so, the Financial Aid Office works hard to ensure you can find a way to attend the college. Also, the dorm rooms are twice as big as the typical rooms!
Will enjoy being here The atmosphere is stunning. The smaller campus makes it easier to meet people. There are so many friendly faces to make you feel welcome.
Will learn a lot Academics are incorporated well with the Bible's teachings. The professors are good at what they do; teaching from a Christian worldview.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students Everyone. They accommodate almost every degree if not specifically at our campus then you can take other courses at Cornerstone for the tuition price of Kuyper.
Tips for prospective students Be proactive about talking to someone and come to the campus because it's great!
Bang for the buck The admissions and the Financial aid office work very close with you so that you are able to get the most aid and become a student and maintain scholarships and aid.
Am enjoying being here I never thought this College was going to do it but i looked into every other Christian college and i would never want to go anywhere else.
Am learning a lot The Professors are very interactive with the quality of learning. The courses offered and the Professors that go with it are very passionate about their subjects and your success as their student.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students Anyone with a passion to serve God would find a place here. Artistic students, intellectual students, class clowns-- they all go here. But, their Christian faith is what brings them together.
Tips for prospective students Visit the campus! I was sure I was going to a different college until I visited Kuyper. Then everything changed. Apply for scholarships early in your senior year! A lot of scholarships have early deadlines like October and November.
Bang for the buck While I did not get as many scholarships as I would have liked, Kuyper is cheaper than most private colleges in Michigan anyway. Financial aid is also willing to work with you.
Am enjoying being here The atmosphere is so attractive. It was what drew me here. Everyone (everyone!) is so friendly and welcoming. Class divisions are not obvious at all. I'm friends with my professors and with upperclassmen. This is not out of the ordinary at Kuyper.
Am learning a lot The professors are brilliant! I am learning a lot about the world, and also learning a lot about God.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus There is a driveway that leads into the School premises. This driveway is pretty long and is popularly referred to as ''the loop'' by most students. Walking round this loop with a person of the opposite once or twice, indicates that the two are interested in each other.

Categories Comments Campus Safety The campus is so small and everybody knows everybody. Safety is not an issue. If you need something most people will already know who you are and where to direct you.
Greek Life I don't know of any Greek life here.
Clubs and Activities There are a lot of bible studies as well as other groups and organizations. There are a lot of campus activities for students on campus.
Great for these types of students those who love peer interaction, small communities, a lot of group activities, and just making friends and having a 2nd family away from home.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus They always have an all campus retreat, scavenger hunts, as well as many other traditions. For how small the school is, the library is HUGE!
Bang for the buck I love the christian aspect of this college. Prayer is usually done before each and every class.
Food and Dining The food is actually not too bad. If you don't have a meal plan it is 5 dollars, which is too expensive for me to buy everyday. However, the few times I have had it it is rather tasteful.
Dorm Life I live off campus
Academic Rigor The social work program here is EXCELLENT. One of the top 3. It definitely has a heavy work load and so do the biblical classes. You are actually expected to learn here!
