Hello!
I attend Cornerstone University in Grand Rapids, MI. I have enjoyed my time at the university so far. To begin, the faculty in admissions and registration are open, honest, and kind. I have appreciated all they did to help in my entrance to college. Next, I have been overwhelmed by the respect that the professors have towards my learning. Cornerstone is a smaller sized college in terms of student numbers, so I have less people in my classes and more connection with the professors. Lastly, I have appreciated the students around me and in my degree. The people that attend Cornerstone have displayed nothing but politeness and positivity to me. However, I will be honest in why Cornerstone was given a 4 star rating. Their core curriculum classes have much more weight than most colleges possess, and many degrees struggle to fit in all of the credits for 4 years with the curriculum classes. Overall, I still believe that Cornerstone is a good fit for many, and I recommend!

I graduated undergrad in 2017 and PGS in 2018. I am so glad that I chose CU for my post-secondary and graduate education. I absolutely loved my courses, my professors, and the overall peaceful feel of the intimate campus. It was because of CU's generosity that I was able to experience one of the most life-changing moments in my entire life - studying abroad in Rome! There's quite a bit to do in terms of enjoying campus life, and even more to do in the surrounding GR area. The only thing that I will say CU can improve in is attracting and maintaining a more diverse student body, especially for African-American students. There's not much emotional, spiritual, or social support for POC, so it can be quite a culture shock coming to CU. Being involved in the multicultural organization as both vice-president and acting president was another highlight of my time at CU, as the campus really bands together to enjoy staples such as annual Mixed Threads celebrations. I appreciated my time at CU
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.
