I am currently committed to attending Cornerstone University in the fall of 2022 and I could not be more excited! The campus is beautiful and the professors are amazing! Cornerstone is a Christian university and during the time I have spent on campus so far, it is a great atmosphere to surround yourself with other believers and grow in your relationship with the Lord. The athletic teams there are great and focus on building a family together. I will be competing in track and field there and I can not say enough good things about the coaches and the track family there. The dorms are very clean and well maintained. The food is very good and they even have bagels from Panera Bread! You can commonly find a sporting event taking place or people hanging out in the quarry. If you are looking for a space, beautiful, and family-oriented place to go to college, Cornerstone is the place to go.
Cornerstone exemplifies the Christian culture. If you want a university focused on community and growing in Christ, then this is the place to go! The only downside is the small campus means there will be small classes. This may seem like a positive at first, but you will most likely run into scheduling difficulties at certain times. However, your academic advisors go out of their way to ensure you matter to them, and they are with you every step of the way! If you truly want to build a life that matter, attend Cornerstone University.
Cornerstone is an AMAZING school! From the first day of orientation I was welcomed by so many upperclassman, faculty, and other classmates. The community life there is amazing! Most of all it is a school which centers Christ in everything which I really value.
