San Diego Christian College is a beautiful institution. The academia is that of a liberal arts college, but it is distinctive with its motivational faculty. It is unlike any school I've heard of, and its unique, albeit unorthodox, methodology is refreshing, constructive, and revolutionary.
Tips for prospective students
This is not a big university and I can assure you that you will not receive the same collegiate experience as most other colleges. With a small student body centered around building lives around Christ, this school welcomes anyone with a relationship with God, or almost more importantly, anyone who wants one.
Academic Rigor
The only reason I short it one star is the amount of leniency between individual teachers. The academic work is obviously strenuous, but certain professors could be stricter in order to ensure maximum educational saturation.
Dorm Life
I am basing my ratings off of what the FUTURE dorms will look like. The current dorms are adequate, however the new campus/dorms are becoming increasingly necessary.
Food and Dining
I am judging this rating based on what I have heard, as I have never actually eaten a meal from there.
What to do for fun
This might be the most fun campus I've ever been on. Pool tables, a private theater, ping-pong, pianos all over the place, et cetera. Very fun campus.
Bang for the buck
This is the only problem I've run into. While I am completely certain that my mind is growing in a proper manner, but the education I am receiving is not worth the debt I'll be in. However, I am a man led by faith, not by dollars, so I am submitting my future to God with the belief that He will instill peace in my financial struggles. But, I digress. The school is far too expensive.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
There really are none when you take into account that we are a private, Christian school. Chapel and prayer.
Great for these types of students
Wonderful for anyone with a liking of being individualistic. I'm a musician with strong, almost immovable morals, and this place has served me perfectly.
Clubs and Activities
College Division and Intramural sports alike, ASB, and other clubs. Just like any college.
Greek Life
No Greek Life. This is a private school with a religious based faculty/curriculum.
Campus Safety
Very safe and about to be safer. State of the art architecture is what's in store for the new campus, and it will be located in the newly-reformed city of Santee, with city patrol units circling the streets 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Outstanding faculty and a great environment!
Tips for prospective students
If your are looking for smaller classes were you can interact with your professors and classmates then this is your school. Classes are small, but yet very informative with professors who are dedicated to your success!
Academic Rigor
Very challenging but at the same time very rewarding!
Dorm Life
I am a commuter, but I hear that student life in the dorms is great.
Food and Dining
Food and dining for the most part is above average, but at times it can be excellent.
What to do for fun
Sea World, San Diego Zoo, the beaches, and many other attractions are only 15-20 minutes away from the school.
Clubs and Activities
Downtown San Diego.
Campus Safety
Great security staff!

Currently I'm a Human Development APS student at San Diego Christian College. I have nothing but good things to report. To sum it up I will use the word, Outstanding!
Tips for prospective students
If you are looking for a great Christian college trust me when I say, you have found the right one. SDCC is a bible based college that not only teach the love of God, but also live by its principles.
Academic Rigor
Thus far I've managed to keep my GPA at a 4.0 range. However, that does not mean the class material is a walk in the park. At SDCC you may find some courses to be easy, while others quite challenging. Be prepared to read large sums of material, participate in weekly discussions boards, complete essays, take online test, and type numerous pages in APA format.

If you are a Christian who put Jesus Christ above everything in your life, and is willing to incorporate bible teaching into your major of study, then this is the best undergrad school for you.
