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!
It’s not your regular college experience and they need some SERIOUS upgrades. College is suppose to be one of the best experiences in your life and I feel that if your an athlete, 75% of the student body is, they don’t really care they only want you there for the sport cause other wise they would have nobody at their school. They also need better people in charge who care about the students and student life. No parties, student events are horrible and half thought out and they just need better people. Shorter has the potential to be a good school they just don’t try.
