The best University if you are interested in serious academics. It is a place to really flourish and become a learned and behaved citizen.
I liked the people at Andrews, they were very friendly and inviting. I would change how much the tuition costs, especially since some of the classes provided are only online. I would also change the co-curricular requirements, especially for those with jobs required to pay the tuition.
Depressing location. Oppressively Adventist. Many staff are great but there are some very homophobic and/or sexist ones that make it difficult.
Spent the last 2.5 semesters online. Accommodations were good although test taking was difficult and technological difficulties made it challenging.
I have been blessed by the diversity of the professors and students and am thankful for the effort that has been made to make this a place where world changers can grow and be equipped to make a difference in our world for good :)
I don't remember having any technical difficulties. A lot of the time the professors were very engaging and responsive via emails.
Pros
Very respectful, genuine, engaging, and caring professors, which I think is rare. They are there to guide you through your academic journey.
Diversities. Andrews being the top Seventh-day-Adventist school, people in the church from all over the world come to this school., and you could tell that there will be intelligent folks group and so-so groups. However, students still seem to connect and mingle very well based on faith. I think this is going to be good exposure because you see this outside anyway.
All vegetarian foods. However, I loved going to their cafeteria all my five years at AU. Reall healthy and delicious. I'd go back and eat their food instead of dining out.
Cons
I feel like there weren't many career opportunities. Yes, there are but the department I was in at least didn't necessarily make sure that I had a job.
Not a party school, but you could still join local school events like Notre Dame, especially during their football season.

The online experience is excellent. The websites are easy to navigate. This semester the whole system was upgraded. Very interactive with help available 24/7.
Great school, Christian environment. Everyone is very friendly and caring, instructors are always willing to help and do the best in their abilities to help. The campus is clean and updated. It has a new Gym. The food is very delicious with a variety of cultural background
Andrews did ok for the circumstances following the COVID pandemic. Most of the time professors were quick to transition to an online form. I took online classes pre and post COVID.
What I like about Andrews University is that applying for the DPT program was easy, and they were very good with communication. When I visited the DPT program for a tour I could tell that the teachers really care about how you do, and push you to do your best, and help you if you are struggling. When I watched a lab in session, I was able to talk to the students and get a feel for how it would be and it seems great!
I will be going to Andrews University this August for their DPT program. Therefore, I cannot say anything about their learning experience because I have no experienced it yet. But for my college that I attended which is Oakwood University, the online learning experience was not bad. Teachers were accessible and I understood everything clearly
Andrews University was a wonderful school to attend. They had many great programs, kind students, and helpful teachers. The cafeteria was always stocked with farm to table plant-based foods. The vegetarian and vegan options were endless. The campus was beautiful and well kept as well as safe. They have many majors for both undergrad and graduate school which makes transferring easy. If religion is important to you than you'll have access to many different styles of worship opportunities as well. Overall, I'd recommend the university.
It’s the best college out of all the other SDA institutions & it’s rather clean. I feel like I really appreciate the diversity in this campus - I think it’s what makes Andrews University the college that it is now. Pretty great academics, pretty okay sports. Health & wellness are pushed and that’s a plus for me. The campus is small so there really isn’t too much to say about it. Overall, pretty safe for the most part.
I really enjoyed Andrews because it gave me a different experience than i had before. Most of the professors are willing to help give you inspiration to do better.
I have absolutely loved my experience at Andrews so far.
It might be because my high school experience was not too great but, compared to how much they fund for your education and how much you can get out from this school - it's simply amazing and a grateful experience for me.
Many people find the cold weather and "barren" (Berrien springs so its barren.. you get it? hehe) environment, and I agree! But I love winter so cold weather was fine. Not having enough places to go to around campus is a problem, and you probably need a car for transportation.
But that was the only "problem" I had while going to this school.
Oh, and if you live in Lamson (girls dorm), you might hate the dorm since the rooms are so small and old, but so far, I love it because the dorm LIFE is good!
So if you are planning to come here, I hope you can also have a great experience too XD (DoN't expect party tho since that ain't gon happen here)

I went here as a dual-enrolled high school student for four years. I appreciated the vast resources and professors willing to work with us but did not like how many college freshmen were unmotivated and seemed very uninterested in their work.
