Katelynn - 11/24/2024
I love Corban University so much, and I don't want to go anywhere else, in all the times that I have visited everyone has always been so kind, friendly, and helpful. I have never had a problem while at Corban and don't think I ever will. I love the small community feeling and being able to openly talk with like minded people about God in class or just anytime I want to. Although the food is not the best the rest of the campus and the people on the campus make up for it. The last time I visited Corban I was able to talk with a professor that would be my professor when I go to Corban next year and she was incredible, the knowledge and passion she had for her subjects that she teaches on was amazing and I can't wait to be one of her students. Overall I think Corban is an amazing college and would recommend to anyone that is looking for the perfect college.
Angelica - 04/21/2021
When I visited the campus, I fell in love. The landscape was beautiful. The teachers and staff were terrific, and there seemed to be so many activities to do on and around campus. But most of all, I loved how personal it is. They are there to help you succeed. You are not just a number to them, and they personalize everything they do for you. That is what I liked most about my visit and being in contact with them.
Leslie - 05/01/2020
I love it everyone is so nice. I really enjoy my classes especially since the professors actually show interest in their student. And not just in an academic level but in our personal lifes if we need it. Corban is a christian school and the professors are praying constantly for their student.
Joshua - 01/09/2020
It is a very good school with great academics. The primary issues of this school boil down to the fact there are some very old buildings on campus, the food is quite mediocre with restrictive hours. You are going to want to go to this school for great connections with faculty, other students, great classes and a beautiful campus. You will not want to go to this school if optimal living conditions and excellent food are of importance.
Tacie - 06/20/2019
I was so scared of going to a school out of state until I visited Corban University. We aren't just a school on a hill, our teachers don't just care about the paycheck and the students don't come to class with a bad attitude - We are a family, and no one has to go through anything alone. We don't have Greek life on campus, but we do have a close-knit student body. I'm a first-year student, and I have really good friends that are graduate students. Age and status don't matter when it comes to the students, we are all people, and we are all there for one another.
Julia - 06/13/2019
Corban University is a great school! Not only is a place where you will learn a lot in your academics and in who you are, but you also learn a lot spiritually and are able to grow in that. The campus is really beautiful and there is something for everyone! The people are also super nice and friendly.
Juan - 12/16/2018
I love Corban University. It was honestly the best decision that I have made. I could write a book about why Corban University has my heart, not today, well maybe. The professors at Corban University are always more than happy to help students who are needing help. I am glad to have professors that would drop everything whenever I am going through a crisis. The students at Corban are just amazing. i have made friends with people from ever major at Corban. The whole sight of campus is just beautiful and nature filled. Whether its taking some time in the morning for a walk, or going back to my dorm late at night from practicing piano, I am always touched by the nature of the campus. There have been moments when I have seen deer just minding their own business on campus and I just can't help but smile. There are so many other things about Corban that I could talk about, but it's better to experience it live by taking a tour. When I visited campus, I just knew that Corban was going to be my home.
melanie - 09/19/2018
Corban is a really good school. If you're a city person, expect a huge change because it's in a somewhat isolated location. Corban is almost like an up-and-coming school so with regards to majors they don't have a lot of variety and if they do have a major you're interested in, they have enough classes to get you your undergraduate degree, but might not have a lot of options outside of the bare minimum. But what really makes Corban such a great school are the people. Everyone is super friendly and people usually get along with each other. The professors and the staff are very caring and genuinely concerned with your well being and that you succeed in whatever endeavors you plan to do in the future. The community on-campus is amazing and you feel that you're at a second rather than a school. If you choose to come to Corban University, you will not be disappointed.
Shaila - 09/07/2018
My overall opinion of Corban is a positive one. The food is pretty good and there is always a variety to choose from. The academics are great and the Professors are awesome. They really want to invest in you and see you succeed and they are available pretty much all the time. There's also a lot to do outside of the classroom including several different sports and a bunch of different clubs to join such as hiking, art, and writing (both free writing and poetry) clubs along with many others.
Dina - 07/23/2018
I love this school. The atmosphere is friendly and everyone knows each other. It's small but that makes school and learning a bit easier because you can ask anyone for help. This school provides a great spiritual atmosphere and the professors are available to help at anytime.
Cami - 05/11/2018
Corban is an amazing school. The professors are very approachable along with other students. Everyone is super nice and has the same love for God. I love my dorm as well, the community is amazing on campus. I’ve made a ton of friends with the same interests and no one I know parties so we’re all there to learn.
Amanda - 04/27/2018
After I graduated high school, and I went to a community college to get basic credits. Being there, I realized that I needed to find a place that would fit my personality, beliefs, way of learning, and that was overall a fun place to be. When I stepped onto the Corban University campus for my first visit, I was blown away by what I found. With a way of life all its own and a campus vibe that draws you in, Corban seemed like the perfect fit for me and my learning style. I would highly recommend Corban University to anyone looking for a college. No matter what you’re dreaming to do in life, you can be sure Corban will have your back and help you to make a difference.
Alexis - 12/22/2017
It is an amazing school with a lot of amazing opportunities. I am so happy that I have the privelage to go here. As far as values, corban has amazing ones. They really strive as a community to make sure everyone is involved in the stuff going on in the community. Corban University has great opportunities for community inlvolvement as well. They have a lot of programs that are easily accessible to all students
Jacob - 06/22/2017
Corban is a great place to be. It is possibly the friendliest most uplifting and happy place I have ever experienced in my life. People here are just amazing, whether it be students, professors, or just other staff, you can always look forward to seeing a friendly face. The campus itself is absolutely stunning, seeming as it is literally in the middle of a forrest. It is built on a hill so mobility is a must, and the food can get a little rough at times, but the atmosphere here, and the shear love of God and His people is easy to see day in and day out.
Roxanne - 05/10/2017
The thing that makes Corban so great is its community. The way that people care for one another on campus and off is a very unique thing to see. The teachers at Corban go above and beyond to make sure that students aren't just getting the education they applied for but also that they are feeling loved and cared for through out the struggles that may present themselves through out a semester.
The fall 2020 acceptance rate for Corban University is 34%. That means, out of _____ applications received in 2020, _____ students were offered admission.
What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
You should definitely take the time to visit the colleges you are interested in, and go on a day when the school has a designated day for tours or visiting to get a better feel for everything the campus has to offer. Go by what your first impression of the school is. Don't let cost get in the way if you really want to attend a school, because there is plenty of financial aid available out there. When you first attend the college of your choice, don't get overwhelmed with the heavy class load. Take everything in stride and don't be afraid to ask for help from peers or professors if you need it. Take the time to relax and make friends through extra-curricular activities or in your dorm. College is the place to learn and get a solid education but also a time to make life long friends, so don't waist a moment of this precious time in your life!
What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?
The worst thing about my school is the lack of racial/cultural diversity, although this is mostly due to the lack of this diversity overall in the Northwest. I would like to get more exposure to other cultures, although I get a little bit of that at Corban.
The best thing about Corban College is the feeling of being on the campus; it was one of the things that attracted me to this school. You get a feeling of warmth and of a place to belong. At Corban, you feel very accepted and this allows you to feel comfortable in the enviroment. You are respected for your beliefs and talents and encouraged to share your thoughts. Corban is the ideal campus!
What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?
College is extremely different from high school. You are now entirely on your own and your parents don't make every decision for you anymore. And you are responsible for keeping your grades up, your parents won't let you know when you are failing. Everything is now on your shoulders, and you hold the key to your future.
Describe how your school looks to someone who's never seen it.
Corban is a Christian based university offering quality education integrated with a fun, light hearted atmosphere where relationships and great experiences are fostered.
Here's your chance: Say anything about your college!
Corban University is a community. The teachers care about the students and want to help them above all else. Class sizes are small so you get a personally know the teacher and your classmates. Corban University is also a Christian University. Unlike many other Christians schools Corban does not require students to attend chapel. Even though it is not required that students attend chapel about 90{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the student body attends. I really enjoy this because it shows that the students truly care about their faith and want to grow more as a Christian.
What's the most frustrating thing about your school?
The most frustrating thing about Corban is probably the dinning hall. Many students complain about the way the meal plans are organized and the price of the food. The quality of food isn't always the greatest either. However, we are grateful to have food at all, even if it isn't our favorite.
What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about your school?
When i talk about Corban i brag about many factors that make Corban this wonderful school. These factors are the size of classrooms, interaction between teachers and students, the business program just to name a few. However, the one thing i brag about the most is the fact Corban is a place where i can worship and learn about God. God occupies every discussions, thoughts, actions. This is something of great magnitude .
What kind of person should not attend this school?
Many different people step onto the campus of Corban. The diversity is so unique, it is something to encourage. Even though there is diversity, every student has one thing in common: passion. Passion is something that every student has inside of them at Corban. Passion is important. People who lack passion don't care. Anyone who lacks passion is the kind who should not attend this school. Corban is looking for those who look towards building up their own future, plus those around them.
All students must apply yearly for financial aid. This process starts with the FAFSA.
