    Southern is one of the cheaper Adventist schools. Their scholarships are not always as large, but for how much cheaper the school is than others, it is a good deal.

    I think all colleges are charging excessive amounts. This one is no exception. I know some students get ridiculous grants and hardly have to pay anything, whereas other students have to work three jobs and take huge loans, like me. It's not really fair.

    Southern is very very expensive. I mean you're paying for a quality environment and education but, I really wish that it was a lot more affordable. There are lots of job opportunities to help pay things off though.
