Spring Arbor University Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about Spring Arbor University? Why?

Joshua

The worst thing about our school is probably the meal plan. I feel as if we are paying too much per meal and there don't seem to be very good options for a lower number of meals per week.

Stacy

I just transferred but I feel as though SAU doesn't cater to the commuter.

Nathaniel

The price of tuition. Every year it keeps going up and with that room and board as well. Also there is not alot of finacial aid in this case.

Ashley

I honestly like this school a lot. I can't really think of anything off hand.

Shelley

I think that the lack of diversity racially may dissapoint some students. Especially if they come from a large city school, or an area of large diversity. The closet town is not big on cultural happenings, but is getting much better. I am a commuter and find there isn't really a place for us. We sometimes eat in our cars. There really isn't a place for us to be.

I guess the worst thing about my school is the fact that 80{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the students who attend are from the state of Michigan. Since I live out of state (14 hours from home), it is nearly impossible for me to go home on weekend and rarely on breaks, either. Therefore, when most students go home on weekends, I find myself alone. However, since I am an introvert, I usually find something to do and am not normally bored. Also, it helps that my closest friends are usually here, as well.

Nathan

The first thing that comes to my mind when trying to think about the worst aspect of attending this university is the cost. Spring Arbor is a very expensive university to attend. If the school was cheaper to attend a lot of stress would be lifted off of the students here. The school is a great community to form friendships and learn, and grow, but it costs a lot of money. I think that a lot of students start considering other schools because of the price. I highly recommend this school to people who want great classes and community.

Kristin

The worst thing at Spring Arbor is the way some people view the rules. The rules at Spring Arbor are strict and students know that pre-registration. Luckily, this is a small percentage. Only a few students feel this way. It is just the way some people interpret rules. Spring Arbor is a conservative, Christian school. The rules are this way for a reason.

Lauren

The worst thing about Spring Arbor University is that it is in the middle of farm country. Every now and then the campus will distinctly smell like cow manure. On the other hand I suppose it is nice for those that aren't used to, or don't like, the hustle and bustle of a larger city.

Catherine

The worst thing about my school is the student center. Our school really needs a new one. My school is growing and the building is too small and really doesn't do much for the students.
