Review Colorado Christian University
CCU has excellent housing options. First, they have five different full apartment housing options to suit your budget. Second all of their housing options are complete apartments with bedrooms, a kitchen, living room, and two full baths. Third, CCU housing can be pricy so every student has the option to apply for off-campus housing! Also, all students are placed in a "stairwell" or group of students with their age group in which they are under an RA who has gone through a rigorous selection process so that only the best of the students are selected for caring for the students and building spiritual relationships. The housing process is fairly simple and easy and if there are some bumps in the road, Resident's Life facility will do everything they can to relocate, better help, or accommodate to your living needs.
This place is like most colleges - some of the professors are fantastic, some are OK, and some are bad. After transferring from a community college, I would say that the majority of the professors here are great! They are very willing to build relationships and invested in their students. The academic environment is rigorous and welcoming. Registration is relatively easy, but because this is a smaller school, there are less options for courses than there are at larger schools. Business and communications are some of the largest majors, but elementary education is also relatively large.
