Student Sound Offs

"The education offered ... is great because it is all-encompassing. Whether you like it or not, you have to take courses in every subject from science to philosophy to arts; it doesn't matter what your major is. While this seems to echo a high-school format, the courses are very in depth and benefit you greatly."

"I love the dynamism of many of our professors, the senior-level history and religion courses, and the student-led community of learning that surrounds the school."

"A lot of staff and students are intolerant of ideas outside of the Christian Reformed tradition. ... If the goal of our school is to be Christ-like than we should be opening our arms to various individuals! "

"I appreciate the small size of the school because of the opportunity it provides for building close community ... We learn the various subjects all out of an integral Christian worldview, baring our own Christian presuppositions in order to understand them more fully."

"While I support a liberal arts education, it is frustrating to have to take a biology class in your fourth year when you're an English/Theatre Arts major."

"Sometimes the community is too small (like a little Redeemer 'bubble')."

"I chose to come to a Christian school, but I would appreciate it if there were a little more open-mindedness and diversity."

"I've never participated in a community that is as caring, loving and encouraging as living on-campus at Redeemer."

"The whole campus, from the main building, to the dorms, to the back orchard are all very attractively laid out, and lend themselves to a very communal atmosphere."

"Having to live on-campus for the first two years helps you to really bond with a lot of the students, and you make many good friendships because of it."
