Spring Arbor University Top Questions

I would, without hesitation, say the worst thing about Spring Arbor University was the lack of ratial diversity. I strongly believe Spring Arbor did not deny students acceptance to the university based on race; however, I also do not believe they strived to broaden their racial diversity on campus. The region Spring Arbor is located happens to be a very Caucasian dominant area. While that is not innately problematic, I do believe students were not generally privy to perspectives outside the white race.

The worst thing about my school would probably be the pressure to be in a relationship or to be happy or perky every day. If you don't feel okay about yourself or life at a moment, you are different.

the worst thing about my school is some of the rules. in my opinion you should know right from wrong and be able to make smart choices and living with the effects of these choices. some of the rules are silly.

The worst aspect of my school is the distance it is from my home. It is about two hours away from my friends and family at home. With the price of gas and being a college student, it has become more and more difficult to make the drive home.

the mandatory chapel and the visitation hours in the dorms. We are adults and should in turn be treated as such. If we can go to school and choose what we want to do with our lives then we should be able to make some basic life choices with out the school constantly looking over our shoulders.

There is no "worst" thing about Spring Arbor. I believe there is always room for improvement, but there is nothing I dislike about Spring Arbor. I truly have found the right school. The people at SAU are like family to me. I can not put a price on the gifts I have recieved in being a part of the FLE program at Spring Arbor. I always knew I was smart, but it took finding SAU to awaken my passion in life.

There is honesly no "worst thing" about my school. I love everything about my school. I guess if I have to say something I would say the guy to girl ratio. The guy to girl ratio is 60:40. Also the university is located in a small town, however I do not mind that. On the weekends to find something interesting to do you usually have to go to Jackson but other than I do not think there is anything else.

Some of the rules turn people off. Some of them, for people like me, are exactly what people are looking for. We have strict policies about men visiting women and vise versa and strict policies about drug and alcohol use.

How easily it becomes to get in the same routine with the same people day in and day out. It is difficult to stay connected with the outside world. This school is located in a rural community and it is easy to forget that there is an outside world just because of how lovely it is in the "Spring Arbor Bubble."

There is almost nothing bad about this school. I was not really excited about the study abroad trip that is required of juniors. I have seperation anxiety and dont like the idea of being away from home for three weeks while I am in another country. I also feel at the same time that it will be a good experiance for me. I need to become detatched from my roots with my family just slightly, so that I can grow and become the person that God wants me to be.

The cost. I have had so many friends and roommates that had to transfer due to financial reasons.

I have only been at Spring Arbor 1 semester (now) but have not seen anything really bad. I love the classes, professors, and fellow students.

The cost becasue it is 29,000 dollars a year and I come from a poor family that cant help me with it and there are not that many ways to get money here.

The worst thing is that we are disconnected from the city, yet we are so close. There is no public transportion so getting to walmart (5 miles away) and the mall can be a task especially as an incoming freshy.

It is hard to maintain a life outside of school while attending this school.

The mission of the school is very strongly religious. This can be both good and bad depending on what you make of it, and it is a small school. So once again, this can be either good or bad depending on your preference. Another bad thing is the lack of a football team.

It's expensive! That's not necessarily a bad thing, but it's been difficult for me to pay my own way through school.

The worst thing about Spring Arbor University is the price of tuition. It is a fantastic University and it has so much to offer but it is still quite expensive for students to attend. However, the community/atmosphere is the best I've ever experienced and I am so blessed to have this opportunity to be a SAU student.

The only thing that is a bit disappointing is that there is not a lot of established businesses around campus such as Cold Stone Creamery or Taco Bell...but the plus side is that I save money by not going out to eat or going shopping.

The worst thing about this school is the fact that a ton of people leave on the weekends. If so many people didn't leave then it would be much more fun on the weekends on campus.
