Ironically, Hope International University lives up to it's name. For students, like myself, who come from low-income areas Hope is a great place to turn too. They provide scholarships for all their students! The campus is small but as a result of that the community is safe and friendly, a home away from home. Whether you're a Christian or not the relationships created with students, faculty, and professors goes beyond the classroom and prepares you for life, your career, and a source of encouragement for difficulties life throws your way. It challenges you academically and the professors aren't there for the paycheck only, they are passionate scholars who desire their students to grow academically, so they can become scholars as well. Hope successfully lives up to its name.

Hope International University is an incredibly small, student driven university, centered around Christ and honoring Him. With a strong heart for God and a passion for serving others, I truly hope to attend this wonderful college in the next year or two and better my relationship with God as well as advance my knowledge in the area of psychology and building relationships.
LOVE LOVE LOVE the professors! School is amazing and the people here are great. I feel like everyone at this school really cares about the students and does what is best for them. I believe that they actually care for us and the lead us by examples. God is amazing and they remind us every day.
