My Experience with Carson-Newman University has been wonderful! I was a transfer student, and they made the transfer process almost seem-less. Even when there were what looked like to be a small "hick-up", they were on top of things, walked me through the process, and were there for me when I needed someone! Overall, they are always there to help when needed, and the quality of education is amazing. The professors are personal, and the small class sizes allow for one-on-one student/professor time for questions and concerns!
I have really enjoyed my time at C-N so far! My professors have always gone the extra mile to get to know me and the rest of the class and are always friendly and helpful. The C-N environment is super inviting as a whole, so I felt at home almost immediately after moving in. The campus is very safe, as well as the local community surrounding it. I would recommend C-N to anyone looking for a tight-knit community and welcoming environment to call home while they are getting their degree!
Carson-Newman is one of the most beautiful college campuses in East TN. It’s small, yet versatile and welcoming. Everyone you meet at Carson-Newman greets you with a smile and truly makes you feel at home in Jefferson City. This goes for staff, faculty, and even students. As a Christian Liberal Arts university, Carson-Newman does well teaching its students about Christianity and religion in a professional way, while also giving students the opportunity to join their faculty and staff for events like Chapel. Carson-Newman is a great school in regards of academics, athletics, and especially community. I would recommend every high school student to at least tour Carson-Newman, because it is a wonderful place to call home.
