If you are looking for a small university that has a good education, talented athletic programs, Christ-centered teachings, intimate class sizes, and an opportunity to make close friends, than this is the university for you. I was an athlete at CTX, which makes up most of the student population. Usually, athletes stick together and always tried to support each other. However, student game attendance is usually low (unless its baseball), do not expect massive crowds of students at games. Though this is a downside to CTX, the location to UT makes up for it. CTX’s nightlife is okay, you will have 1 or 2 big parties each semester thrown by a sports team, but do not expect to find massive parties every week. Again, like sports games, CTX’s location makes up for this flaw. CTX is only a 20 min drive from 6th street, and 25 min from the Domain (the big party areas). Students will also attend in mass to Wild West on Wednesday nights 80 to 90 percent of the time.
Concordia has an amazing community: so many kind faces and attitudes (in Students and Teachers). Since it's a small school, the teachers and students have more of an opportunity to get to know each, and therefore great resources for class. Now small community also means everyone knows everyone which is good and bad. Also they change things, that possibly don't need changed. Granted it's only happened with a few things: book pricing (no more book store), took away the film and broadcasting communications focus, and Education now has to be a major not minor. Those are the only I can think of though; but overall great university, wonderful people, and sits on a big Nature Preserve (aka beautiful).
Don’t listen to the advisors. They consistently put me in incorrect classes for my major requirements, and told me a graduation date a whole year sooner than was reality when I first transferred.
Seems like a lot of money goes in to the sports teams... meanwhile, they’re cutting the jobs of really great professors, and then keeping around old ineffective ones (I.e. Meunch). They have a reported graduation rate of 35%, “retention” of 63%, and a transfer rate of 44%. Seems sketch, as I only know a couple people in my major that have been here with me all 2.5 years.
Need more info? Go check them out on Glassdoor.com, or check out how their current numbers match up with the goals the president made when he first came in.
The campus is quite beautiful though, the people are at least fake nice if not genuine. Safety is actually really really great, and the local area has everything you’d need.
End of the day, not worth the bill or the headache unless you already live locally.
