Spring Arbor University Top Questions

The fact that I just transferred to the school. This is the worst thing because I feel very lost and the feeling of starting all over, building connection over again, meeting new friends, getting use to the different environment, the feeling of isolation and the overall transistion in general.

I don't think our school does a good enough job of integrating transfer students, and or off campus students with the main body. There are all sorts of awesome community and group events if you come in as a freshman that help you become a part of the body, and feel included. However, it is more difficult if you transfer in, because you are not a part of a small "Core group" that does things together, and encourages one another. You also miss out on the Cross Cultural Trip requirement if you transfer in later than Sophomore year.

There's really nothing bad about my cool. I enjoy it a lot.

The worst thing about my school is the cost of attending there. I know a lot of people that would love to go to Spring Arbor but the cost of tuition makes that nearly impossible. Tuition costs are even affecting whether or not I can attend all four years.

The worst thing about SAU would probably be that there are never any delays or days off during bad winter weather. It is a small campus where you have to walk everywhere and it is difficult in the winter.

Spring Arbor University has many strengths, however, it also has some weaknesses. The greatest problem with attending SAU is the finicial burden. Because this is a private school, tuition is very high. The school does offer a great amount of financial aid, but that can only get you so far. I feel that finance problems are the biggest reason people have to leave or choose not to attend SAU.

The worst thing at this school is the cost. The sticker price is shocking, and financial aid is decreasing.

people need to learn to lighten up and enjoy the little things in life. it should be ok for someone to walk around in an animal costume without getting strange looks. people at spring arbor are afraid to be different sometimes and they need to learn to have a little fun even if its strange.

The worst part about Spring Arbor has nothing to do with the school. The school resides in a small township named Spring Arbor Township. The only thing that is truly in this township, would be the University. When looking for a place to go and get off campus for bit, there is nothing close by. However, find an upper classmen with a car, taking a trip to Jackson could be in the works.

I have just begun my education at Spring Arbor University, my first impression is that I am very impressed. The adult learning environment is centered around an inspired productive process. For me personally at this time, as the father of five children, I find the cost of tuition will be challanging. The college is structured and staffed in a matter where the student's time is able to be solely focused on education, the staff has made logistics flow seemlessly. This structure is necessary as an adult learner and will be justly expensive.

The worst thing about Spring Arbor University would probably be the tuition. The professors are all top-notch, caring people that make an effort to know their students; the food provided is excellent (especially to other schools I've heard, after talking to many friends from other universities); the environment provides a small, close knit community with excellent room & board, as well as quality classrooms, materials and other buildings. The only thing is, with tuition being as high as it is (rightfully so, to keep up this level of excellence), it's very pricy to study here.

I believe the worst thing about my school is that it is so easy to fall into the motions of the Christian faith. SAU is a Christian private school and often times students feel that by going to the school and going to mandatory chapel twice a week is enough. Student's faith and dedication towards the Lord transistions from "on fire" to "lukewarm" and some times even to "freezing cold". The faith is so forced upon here, an act of rebellion is the result and students question their existance on the campus.

The worst thing about my school would be the food. For the most part it is okay. However, it doesn't have alot of variety and it is almost impossible to eat a healthy meal. Another issue with the food would be the meal plan. The student should be able to choose what option they would like to have regardless of which dorms they stay in or their school standing.

The worst thing about Spring Arbor would have to be the location. There's good and bad too it, but being in rural southern Michigan, there's not that much we can do directly off campus. Sure, there aren't as many distractions from our school work, but if we want to do something interesting or new, we have to drive at least 40 minutes to either East Lansing or Ann Arbor. Kalamazoo and Detroit are 1 hour in either direction.

The worst thing about Spring Arbor University is that there are many seemingly unnecessary rules that a student has to follow when attending that university. It is a private christian college, so there are many rules about how often you can hang out with the opposite gender in your room, and what you can watch online, and how many times you have to attend Chapel.

The worst thing about our school is that they put some unrealisitc restrictions in a few ways. For example a student who is 21 or over is not allowed to drink even off campus if they are enrolled in classes. This has recently changed to allow students to do so in the summer or on Christmas break, but I think that restrictions like that are a turn off to some students.

The food in the dining commons is definitely the worst thing about Spring Arbor. Students complain about it all the time yet it never really seems like the school does anything to fix the problem.

The worst thing about Spring Arbor is the "Spring Arbor Bubble." Spring Arbor University has such a wonderful and supportive Christian atmosphere that it is almost shocking to enter the "real world" again.

I hate to put an emphisis on what is wrong with this school because there are so many good things around me. However, if I had to choose one thing that I didn't like about my school it would be all the restricting rules. I agree with most of them, but wish that people would choose to obey these rules on their own. For instance, students should choose to attend chapel, and abstain from drinking on their own. I feel that if a student chooses to restrain from something on their own, they are more likely to follow through.

The only thing about my school that I do not like is the cafeteria food.
