    Am learning a lot

    Being that Pfeiffer is such a small school, students really connect well with their professors. The classroom sizes are typically small which adds to the one-on-one learning environment. I am a rising sophomore and have yet to have a class with more than 20 students. Most of my teachers here offer very flexible office hours to further help students with any questions they may have pertaining to the class materials. However, if further assistance is needed there is a great Learning Center provided by the university that provides students with tutors.
    Am enjoying being here

    I have to emphasize once again that the campus is small and not much is near it. It will really help to have a car on campus because campus life can get pretty dry but there are a few places in the surrounding areas that are cool for hang-outs with friends. However, most of these places range from 30minutes to one hour in driving distances.
    Bang for the buck

    Being that Pfeiffer is a private school, tuition is higher; however, financial aid here is really great especially if you play sports or are affiliated with the Methodist church. I am neither an athlete or a member of the Methodist church but still received a great financial aid award. It really helps to keep your grades at a least a 3.0 or above and participate around the campus.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you are planning to attend Pfeiffer, you must prepare yourself for a very quite lifestyle. Pfeiffer is a very small private Christian School. It barely has 1000 students but the staff members really connect with you and are more than willing to help any student out.
    Great for these types of students

    *Athletes
    *Members of Methodist Church/Community
    *Those students who are looking for a small and quite campus life

    Pfeiffer is such a small school, so students get to really connect well with their professors. The classroom sizes are typically small which gives students a one-on-one learning environment. Most of the professors here have very flexible office hours to help students with any questions they may have. You have to take many general education requirement classes as well to graduate so you learn a lot outside of your major. We have a learning center that is free to students. This gives students tutors and just help in subjects/classes if needed.
    Am enjoying being here

    Yes, this campus is small and kind of far from a lot of things, but Pfeiffer always finds activities for the students to do. I am a freshman this year and some activities are we have had a fiesta, dances, haunted trail, bonfire, roller skating party, and many sporting events to attend. This is just to name a few. We also have opportunities to go hiking, camping, and white water rafting. Yes, Pfeiffer may be like 20-30 min. from some things there is always things to do on campus. A car would be helpful, but not necessary. So many people have cars on campus you can just catch a ride with them.
    Bang for the buck

    Yes, Pfeiffer is a private school so tuition is a little more, but the financial aid here is awesome. If you play a sport here or are affiliated with the Methodist church you will probably receive a good scholarship to attend. You do not need to be part of either of these those. If you have done community service or just had a good GPA in high school they will find you some money to help you as well. Pfeiffer University will help you in any way to find you money so you can attend. They are very helpful.

    Pfeiffer University is a great school for the working Adult. It certainly works for me. However as with any distant learning student it has it disadvantages. Timely responses from all concerned is very important to the student because it is the only means of communication.
    Am enjoying being here

    The interaction with fellow classmates is great. Discussion Board is the best thing ever.
    Tips for prospective students

    Prosective studenst need to be sincere about their future with training for the workplace, and have a desire to learn.
    Great for these types of students

    This is a great school for Adults who are full-time workers and would like to return to school.

    Pfeiffer University is a comprehensive private not for profit methodist liberal arts university in rural Misenheimer North Carolina. The University presents many opportunities for students to experience new learning opportunities and cultural lessons every day. Pfeiffer has dedicated faculty, a diverse and friendly student body, and an overwhelming sense of community and family.
    Tips for prospective students

    Come to Pfeiffer University with an open mind and be prepared to meet engaging faculty, friendly students, and supportive teachers that all want to help you succeed not matter what your goals are. Although the University is small, it is full of character and provides extra curricular and academic activities designed to suite a variety of student interests.
    Academic Rigor

    Teachers challenge students to be engaged in their learning and to take the initiative to be self motivated.
    Dorm Life

    Buildings are older and rooms can be small, but New Hall apartments are spacious and comfortable.
    Food and Dining

    Campus dining services offer several healthy options and are always prompt.
    Bang for the buck

    As a private university, Pfeiffer is traditionally more expensive. But the real life experiences and knowledge shared here through our hardworking faculty is worthwhile.
    Great for these types of students

    Students who want to attend a small school and get to know everybody on campus.
    Clubs and Activities

    There are clubs and activities affiliated with athletics, outdoors, religion, education, ethnic background, and general academic interest.
    Greek Life

    There are no sororities or fraternities at Pfeiffer University. This may seem unappealing to some students, but this helps unite the campus residents as a whole and does not segregate Greek life students from other residents.
    Campus Safety

    The village police are located on campus and are always available at a phone call away, or only a short walking distance.

    Am learning a lot

    As a current students here being in a classroom that has about 20-25 students total, the one on one interaction with the teachers helps out a lot. Being here has taught my time management, and independence.
    Am enjoying being here

    I must admit the campus is small and not much is located around the area. If a student plans on being a full time student it would behoove them to have a car to get around.
    Bang for the buck

    As a student i must say for what you pay to attend this school one would expect a little bit more. There isn't much activity outside of the school to partake in if you are not an athlete.
    Tips for prospective students

    A prospective looking to attend Pfeiffer should be willing to be a small area around wholesome student. Everyone interacts with one another according to hobbies and social climates. Its a really great school for meeting new people and expanding your education
    Great for these types of students

    The school is great for athletes that love to help out their fellow students, students that love doing human services to help others
