I really enjoyed my time here at Point Loma Nazarene University. One thing that I liked, in particular, was the fact that it is such a small school. My high school graduating class was thirteen students! The transition to Point Loma was as smooth as can be, considering my previous experiences. One thing I would like to see, here at Point Loma, is a more diverse campus. The university ann student body are both taking strides to bring that to fruition. Hopefully within the next few years, this campus will flourish into a thriving and diversified university.
My experience at Point Loma has been nothing short of excellent. Of course, my first year was a hard adjustment to make, but I cannot imagine having to adjust to living away from home without family, childhood friends, and my church, without the love, help, support, and energy from my friends and classmates at Point Loma. From professors who have done everything they can to help me succeed to friends who have adventured all over San Diego with me to Upper Class-men who have met with me to talk about my spiritual growth, I have experienced an abundant amount of social, spiritual growth. I am so excited to go back and be involved in ASB and Student Ministries while studying and finding a job in San Diego!
I honestly have not attended many of the athletic possibilities on our campus. I know many people who have played sports for Point Loma and they have absolutely loved it! I want to start attending soccer matches, volleyball matches, and baseball games soon. Being a smaller campus, it seems that mostly everybody is intrigued by sporting and is involved.
