  • May-25-2011 I am researching this school and have visited the campus

    I think it depends upon your personality. The students here are clearly close knit and you will know all the students on campus... The dorm rooms are fairly nice. They have free laundry in each dorm and have a dorm lounge which has computers, flat screen TV, and a bunch of comfy chairs. The dorm rooms are not big, but you won't have any real need to spend your entire time in a dorm anyways. the bathrooms are suite styled so you and your roommate are sharing a bathroom with the room next door. You have your own cubbies so your items do not get mixed up. Several things are in walking distance and the busing system is free to Peace Students. It is very possible to live without a car on campus. They don't have a lot of clubs and organizations although the school is clearly a family. Chapel is required every Tuesday for students, although Chapel is not as much of a chore as you would think. The female Chaplin usually discusses things that are relatable. Its like having an inspirational speaker.... its not like going to a normal church in which you may dose out in the middle of it. This school focuses on traditional female careers. I was considering taking biology there, until i realized that it won't be as science focused as I thought. The security is not the best, but because they are such a close-knit campus, if you go missing for more than 24hours, somebody will notice and something will be done. They also have a good health system. They have a nurse, and offer basic health insurance for students who need it. They have an infirmary so if you get a bad stomach flu you don't have to deal with it alone in your dorm room.
