If you love personal, one-on-one learning, then Carson-Newman is the place for you! Every professor I have had so far has remembered my name and will even talk to me outside of class in passing. So overall, the staff is tremendous!
Another thing that I love is since it is a smaller university, you can make deeper connections will your peers because chances are you will see them on campus or have classes with them constantly.
Also, one of the main reasons I chose to attend C-N is due to their Bonner Scholar program, which is service-based. Through the program, I have truly learned and grown as a person and have discovered new passions while serving others and the community. In addition, the scholarship pays for my stay here, which is a nice bonus.
Overall, I 10/10 recommend coming here if you want high-quality professors, friendly staff and administrators, great programs and clubs, and, most notably, an incredible opportunity to make lasting friendships!

It was amazing! I love the small-town vibes that you get on campus, but just a short ride away is a city that has all sorts of fun things to do. The professors are amazing, the classes pretty easy, and the food amazing. The dorms are actually pretty big, and there are so many activities planned throughout the semester in order for the students to have fun.
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!
