Overview of Covenant College

I personally could not imagine myself attending any other college. The sense of community at this school is overwhelming (in a good way). From day one, I felt welcomed and accepted. There are tons of ways to be involved whether it be student government, the activities board, orientation team, or sports. There are also a ton of events like concerts and dances. If you prefer a more low-key existence, you can always go outside and read a book while enjoying the beautiful mountain weather.

Covenant wants to shape well rounded students. Not only is there an excellent academic program, but the Campus Activities Board and other members of the student body work hard to put on fun events like dances, performances, and movie nights. There's always something enjoyable from Chapel Lawn soccer to movies in the conference room to late night runs to Yellow Deli to studying at Rembrandt's to hall events to intermurals to sporting events and so much more.

I have met friends in my first year at Covenant that I will no doubt be in contact with twenty years down the road. The students are passionate about their faith and about having fun. There are people from all over the United States and around the world. This creates a perfect environment to learn from those different than yourself.

Hall life if phenomenal. The community within residence halls and buildings are extremely close-knit. Freshmen live alongside sophomores, seniors and juniors. There is almost always something going on, whether it's a sporting event, intramural game, hall-hosted dance, musical performance or building-wide study break. Living on top of Lookout Mountain, you can feel isolated, especially if you do not have a car. Chattanooga is only fifteen minutes away and offers a plethora of interesting activities. Downtown has a lot of character and emphasizes the arts. Atlanta, Birmingham and Nashville are all two hours away, too.
