Montreat is a very small private Christian school. Here, everyone knows each other and the professors really care about your success. The school has amazing athletic programs and offer so many resources to further your walk with Christ. Overall an amazing school but a bit expensive.

Like almost all of students there I was a student athlete. However my 2 years there showed me the dangers of not thinking through my college choice from financial, education , and personal problems that came. Causing me to decide on transferring to a new, cheaper, and non-christian based university.
I like that its small class size and everyone helps each other. The professor loves what he do!@i have learn alot because its Billy Graham school and what he believed in, i follow GOD so this gave me more direction to become the best student i could be. We are rewarded in my College and we strive for excellence seeing that its a college for working adults thats been out of school for a period of time. They help you get back on track!
