I love Maranatha Baptist University because, although it is a mid-sized college and located in a small town, the campus itself is full of life and energy. The teachers are invested in the students' growth and future outside of just getting a good grade in class. The students all encourage and help each other out, and there is a spirit of camaraderie we all share. The classes are extremely helpful, and the professors push students to always give their best and not coast through college, and to be all in wherever they are. Overall, the people, academics, opportunities, and friendships I have made in just the first semester of attending Maranatha have made me certain that I made the right choice when I picked Maranatha!
Maranatha Baptist University is an excellent establishment not only for academic growth, but also for spiritual enhancement and relational development. Staff and teachers alike are kind and helpful, as well as the student body. The college is located in the beautiful city of Watertown, with enjoyable restaurants and shops within walking distance. I would recommend Maranatha to anyone in search of a hospitable and encouraging place to extend their academic career.
If you are looking for a typically Baptist school and want to continue this kind of lifestyle, you might enjoy this school. Most students come from homeschooling families or under-funded and low quality Christian schools. MBU is really good at pumping students full of their own ideas and ideologies and making robots out of people.
