Am learning a lot
Of course you think well it's college you have to learn something but no! This is a fun and exciting university to be at whether I'm in the class room or working on campus I always fill like I have learned something at the end of the day.
Am enjoying being here
This is my Home away from home i really love all the people and teachers. Not to mention the campus is beautiful. I personally am a music major and to have one of the best performing halls in the country make's me feel proud.
Bang for the buck
Yes MNU is very expensive but with working on campus student loans it's not that bad. This will be my third year here and i think i would have liked to go to a school cheaper and not be happy.
Tips for prospective students
The best tip i can give students looking to come to MNU is to pray about it. If it is in Gods will for you to come here and study i think he will let you know and make it happen one way or another.
Great for these types of students
Great for students who want to be involved and to feel like part of a community because guess what you will be!

Am learning a lot
All of the professors are AWESOME!!! They enjoy life and love teaching and they all want to see the students go far. Education is a very important thing and all of the professors are willing to help their students in groups or one-on-one.
Am enjoying being here
I grew up in the church so getting to go to chapel a couple times a week is very nice. There are so many awesome people that go to MNU and work at MNU. The first week of classes is dedicated to helping Freshmen and Transfer students get to mingle and know the other students so they can feel more at home.
Bang for the buck
The cost of MNU is high, but there are a lot of things that the cost covers. All of the regular sporting events are covered and the most of the campus wide events are too. During the winter months the maintenance guys shovel the sidewalks and put salt down.
Tips for prospective students
Check out the campuses that you think you may be interested in and go to the one that feels right for you. If cost is something that could keep you from going then pray about it and apply for lots of scholarships.
Great for these types of students
Pretty much anyone who wants a good education. There are a lot of different majors that MNU offers.

This is an excellent university committed to student success. You can expect to find smaller classes which allow for more personalized instruction. The professors are genuinely interested in each students success!
Tips for prospective students
Christian University dedicated to study.
Beautiful campus with a great safety record!
Academic Rigor
I find the courses to be challenging but achievable.
What to do for fun
There are shopping malls nearby equipped with theaters.
Kansas City is within a 30 minute drive to enjoy various activities.
Bang for the buck
This school is worth every penny!
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Its not uncommon to pray before each class.
Great for these types of students

Great Professors who genuinely care about their students. Beautiful campus (your money goes to the grass upkeep hahaha jk) Great community to grow and flourish in your knowledge, both academically and internally.
Tips for prospective students
It is expensive, so make sure you know how you are going to pay for it. It may be a Christian school, but not everyone is there because of that fact. Your beliefs will clash. College is a time to grow, so focus on growing. This is a great place for that.
Academic Rigor
Depending on the teacher, the classes range from pretty easy to very difficult. I give it a 4.
Dorm Life
Depending on what you like, the community within the dorms is awesome. Lanbarger house is great if you like a lot of community, though I personally prefer Uphaus due to it's more isolated, quiet atmosphere.
Food and Dining
Come on, it's college food. That being said, I think it's great food. The variety is good, though you will get bored of the repetitive choices. But hey, it's college. you are hear to learn, not get a 5 star dining experience. Stay Healthy.
What to do for fun
There is always a college event going on. However, if you are not a school spirited person, Olathe/Kansas City has a lot to offer in terms of dining, entertainment, church selection, and whatever you might want. Great city.
Bang for the buck
you want quality, you have to pay for it. there are cheaper solutions out there, but none that can match the professor to student relationships, the atmosphere, community, etc.
Clubs and Activities
Something for everyone. And if there isn't, it's not hard to put something new into motion.
Greek Life
We have a Greek Class lol
Campus Safety
It is very safe here.
