Categories Rating Comments Did learn a lot As far as academics go, the professors go out of their way to make themselves available to you to further your learning experience. One will find that the professors will be on campus during hours with an open door always available to discuss any matter (school or non-school related) as well as only a simple email or even phone call away. The intimate class sizes also allow for students and teachers to discuss the matter being taught at hand and bring up different points of views.
Did enjoy being here If you want to make great relationships and have an awesome learning experience, Warner is the place for you. It is on the smaller side as far as enrollment goes, but it is well worth it. With being only minutes from downtown Portland and having many parks around, it is almost too easy to make friends and find activities to take part in to get to know each other.
Tips for prospective students Private colleges are expensive, but the money spent is well worth for the learning experience (both inside and outside of the classroom).
Great for these types of students Warner is great for anyone wanting to build relationships that last as well as gain a great education. Athletes, musicians, artists, you name it, you will fit right in.

Categories Rating Comments Am learning a lot We are required to do core classes, and though many complain about it since they seem to not have anything to do with their major or minor, I have found that things I learn from them can actually have quite a bit of commonalities with my major or minor.
Also, a lot of the professors are nice to talk to, yet many are strict with you about getting your homework in on time. Some professors give you a leniency if you turn an assignment in late, taking a certain percentage off, though it varies with each professor.Am enjoying being here I have many friends, and since the campus is of a smaller size you either know everyone or know of everyone, which I really like.
There are plenty of activities, whether you are a commuter or a
live-on-campus student, and the library tries to accommodate each student. There are plenty of movies to watch for fun, and there are plenty of books, movies, and Cd's to use for research purposes. Can't find a book in the Warner book collection? Don't worry, use summit to ask for an item from a different school!Bang for the buck The amount of money may deter some people, and I have to admit, it deterred me, but the financial advisers help you work through it and you can take out loans and get scholarships from the school. Don't forget to check out the Match Your Church Grant and check out the scholarship binder at the financial aid office. Also, pay the interest and lower the principle while you are attending college so you can get a head start on paying the loans back!
Tips for prospective students I would definitely check on touring the campus or spending the night at the campus (the latter should be done ahead of time). Always research a college, and don't forget, if the school doesn't have a major you want, you can always create a major. Just take your core classes if you can't decide on a major. Also, the food is pretty good, although after having it every day for two years, I started to get tired of it and wanting to make my own food. But still, it's pretty good.
Great for these types of students Sports scholarship students, students who are actively pursuing a degree, and those who want to have a great school experience.

Categories Rating Comments Am learning a lot I have had a lot of really interesting classes, professors, and experiences at Warner that have forced me to expand my way of thinking. They have a wide range of classes that have been great in supplementing my education.
Am enjoying being here I have never felt like just another student here. I have always had an identity, and the president knows just about everyone by name. It's beautiful campus is right off of Mt. Tabor, which offers a public tennis court, hiking, and a beautiful overlook of the city of Portland.
Bang for the buck Warner has a wonderful financial aid department that is more than happy to help you find loans, scholarships, and anything to help you pay for your college. Also, there are MANY scholarships to apply for in the school. Warner tries their hardest to not make money an obstacle if you want to enroll.
Tips for prospective students Go to an admissions event! They have overnight stays twice a year, which give you a great view of student life at Warner. Apply early because that is when you get the most scholarship opportunities! Also, be in frequent contact with the admissions/financial aid. They will give you SO much help in your application process.
Great for these types of students Anyone who wants to be held accountable for their education, anyone looking to impact lives on a deeper level, and anyone looking for some true, meaningful relationships. Also, anyone who wants a truly personal and unique college experience.
