I attended a private school growing up, so I loved how small Shorter was! If you are looking for a school that’s a small campus where everything is within walking distance then this is a good option! I also loved how your department becomes like your family. I was a music major, so we were all in the same classes and were able to help each other out when needed. The professors want you to succeed and they are willing to help if you ask for it. Shorter is also a Christian college associated with the Baptist Convention so keep that in mind if you have other beliefs or are associated with a different denomination. I met some of the best people at Shorter and wouldn’t trade my experience for anything. They have a great education and nursing program. Their football team sucks though…
I'm currently dual enrolled here at Shorter, and have loved it! I'm taking online classes and the professors I've had are so awesome. Classes are flexible, manageable workloads are assigned, I love the Christian worldview that Shorter teaches from, and it's very easy to contact professors and staff if you have any questions. I can't wait to continue learning here!
I chose shorter university because of its small class sized numbers creating a more one on one feel with professors. I also liked the message they are trying to teach with gods word, its a very opening and welcoming environment. the second I walked into shorter university on my campus tour I felt a sense of home, immediately I knew that this was the place I was meant to be and the place God wants me to be. The day I got accepted was easily the greatest day of my life, during my senior year I felt as if I had, had a giant weight lifted off of my shoulders. As I was getting lead by God in the correct direction of the way of life he wants and envisioned me to have and live out
