Freshman: 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!... Read 706 reviews

Sophomore: The students, staff, and environment are incredible. I couldn't imagine myself anywhere else. If you want to grow closer to God, this is a place to do it. The religious community is unbelievably strong. Sometimes this causes interdenominational conflicts, but you can avoid it rather easily. I'm Catholic, and the Catholic Society is a strong and amazing organization. The professors are brilliant and are easy to approach. Hillsdale's students are one-of-a-kind. Many students are engaged/married by graduation! They say to find someone here because once you leave you'll be disappointed by who you find. If you are strongly leftist, atheist, uninterested in academics, are promiscuous, or like to drink/smoke/do drugs, not for you. Very high caliber of students and faculty. It's definitely a bubble, but a great bubble to live in. Hillsdale is rapidly increasing in prominence and in my opinion exceeds many Ivy League programs. Also, 48% acceptance is wrong. In 2021, it was about 23%.... Read 376 reviews

Freshman: I am a Freshman at Spring Arbor University and so far I have had a really positive experience. I love the small community. I have created friendships with students and basketball players that I believe will last a lifetime. The classrooms are smaller so I am able to have more one on one time with the professors. The professors go out of their way to help. Many have provided their cell numbers so that they are available any time to help me succeed. Each of the professors here are so wise and knowledgeable about their majors. They really care about their students and it shows in their eagerness to get to know them - in and out of the classroom. The faith perspective of learning is amazing, and helps each student to grow in their walk with the Lord as they are learning about the topics of their major. I am enjoying being a student athlete. We bonded so quickly. Also, the food is very good with a variety of options and the dorms are spacious. I am loving it here at Spring Arbor!... Read 796 reviews

Junior: Northwood is an excellent school that focuses on the quality of education and sets a solid foundation for students to launch into their careers. The school is very diverse in terms of students, with a large portion of international students, while also offering a multitude of studying abroad opportunities. Northwood utilizes real world experience, hiring professors with career experience in the field they are teaching, offering students an opportunity to learn in and out of the classroom. Students are taught the expectations of the real world and how to capitalize on each opportunity presented to them. I would highly recommend any student to attend Northwood University!...
