I went to SNU to play college soccer! The atmosphere at SNU is excellent, it is the feeling that everyone on campus wants you to be there. All the professors are personal, they know who you are even after the class is over. At SNU, we get to learn and talk about God and I think to be able to do that at a university in this society today is amazing. I'm so glad that I chose a school to get my degree and to strengthen my relationship with the Lord.

Great college! My whole family has gone their and I'm excited to attend! I go to church within the district and they have always been involved in their community. Everyone who has gone their has not regretted it. Yes it is an expensive private college, but it is worth it.
Great Community! Lots of opportunities to be involved. The professors are invested in the students educations and are very approachable.
