The smaller school creates a much more close knit relationship between students. The faculty are actively interested in the academics and lives of the students, adn help in ayway they can. The administrators and financial aid people were a whole lot better about working with me on getting things done in a prompt and efficient manner. Even if you are different from other people all the student body just seems to act like one big family, most of the time.

I think the small, close knit community on campus really makes Anderson University unique. If I do not personally know another student, I have at least seen them on campus multiple times before. There is almost the sense of family when I set foot on campus.

My school is unique in many ways compared to other schools I considered attending, but the major difference is the way in which every single person, whether a student, staff, or professor pours into my life. From the moment I stepped on campus, I could visibly see that my school was unique. Everyone was so helpful and encouraging - and still are, as I continue my education at this institution. The staff especially want to make our college life enjoyable and memorable by planning many events. Professors know you by name and are helpful, both concerning curricula and life.

Anderson University is a Christian campus. The student environment is incredible and there are so many opportunities to get involved. The atmosphere is very welcoming and the class sizes average about 17-25 students. I chose Anderson over the other schools because of the size and the fact that it was a Christian environment.

Anderson University is a private Baptist institution, which allows for some unique curriculum. The faculty and staff are looking to help guide us, and it is encouraging to learn from professors who have biblical beliefs. Going to a Christian school, as a Christian and follower of Jesus allows me to be more open with my beliefs. In my Communication class, we examined a book or character from the Bible using principles of Communication. This was a unique exercise that would have never been offered at the other state schools I was considering.

Anderson provides a community of people who care about my growth as a student, mentally physically, and emotionally. The university and faculty provide ways for me to graduate with a college degree and with an opportunity to go on to bigger and better things in life.

They are a christian oriented school. Every Wednesday there is a set time that no one has class, and everyone is required to attend chapel. All the professors are very helpful and are there to hellp you with any of your needs. The campus is not too big and you feel welcome everywhere you go.

The most unique quality about Anderson University, is the fact that the whole campus is surrounded by an authentic community of people. In order for one to really enjoy their college experience, they have to have a genuine connection with people. A college campus will not function without the students and staff on it. Therefore, Anderson University is the best place to expect to be deeply involved on campus.

My school is extremely unique compared to other schools I considered. I attend Anderson University, a Christian college, and the environment is entirely different than Clemson, College of Charleston, and University of South Carolina. I chose Anderson not only because of the financial aid awarded, but also because it provided an environment that allowed me to grow as a Christian. It encouraged me to be open about my beliefs. I learned so much about how faith integrates into the secular world and how I may act in a work environment via the example of the professors.
