What Students Are Saying

Try to engage with the faculty. Know that even though this is a Christian school there are people who are rebelling against their parents conservative values. There are a range of values, so be ready for that. Take advantage of off-campus opportunities! Make friends who have cars.
don't be meek or shy when you visit! we love having visitors :) also, if it weren't for generous donors, tuition would cost at least $20,000 more than it does already. so you're getting a fantastic deal for the price.

Visit the campus first!
Anastasia from Woodland Hills, CA
Be yourself and get involved in the school. Get to know other students, faculty and staff. Do not look at the price tag and think you will never be able to afford it, you might be pleasantly surprised.
