    Am learning a lot

    The education classes here prepare students for the career paths in teaching. Students must complete clinical hours which get the students in the front of a classroom and prepare them to be comfortable.
    Am enjoying being here

    I am making a lot of friends with the small classroom sizes and everybody is extremely close to one another. There is definitely a sense of community at this school.
    Bang for the buck

    This is a good education but if you don't know what your major is, I would recommend another school.

    Am learning a lot

    Concordia University is known for having one of the top Athletic Training Education Programs in the country. In my first semester as a freshman I have already begun to learn a lot about my major and have begun practicing skills that are necessary for athletic training. Not only have I grown in my knowledge but Concordia also strives in helping its students to grow in their knowledge of the bible and Jesus. I have also gained additional knowledge in this way.
    Am enjoying being here

    Concordia is a place many people enjoy being at. While you are very sheltered at this school, students can feel safe and really focus on school and their career paths. I feel that by going to other schools, I would not be as focused as I am here. Also, the classes are small allowing the proffessors to know the students on more of a personal level. There are also a lot of opportunities for the students to transform Concordia into anything they want it to be.
    Bang for the buck

    Concordia is a school that includes many great programs including Athletic Training. The school works with many of its students in order to try and help them afford their schooling and get the best education they can give. However, Concordia is not a school to go to if you are undecided because in such a case the University would be a little expensive.
    Tips for prospective students

    Student looking to get into Concordia should take classes offered in high school related to their planned major. They should know what they want to do so they are not paying to go to this school without some idea.
    Great for these types of students

    Concordia is a good school for students who look to grow in knowledge and spirit. It is especially good for students looking to get into programs such as Athletic Training and business. Concordia offers a lot of opportunities for its students to grow in these two areas.

    Am learning a lot

    I am studying occupational therapy and could not be more pleased with the academic portion of my Concordia experience. I was able to begin taking classes related to my major in my freshman year, instead of having to finish a lot of prerequisites first. The small class sizes make it very easy to get to know your professor and to get help from them whenever you need it.
    Am enjoying being here

    I love the students and there are many opportunities for involvement and on-campus activities. However, the campus basically shuts down on the weekends- although they are working to fix this. Also, Mequon is not a great college town, but they are also working on ways to make Mequon more of a community for Concordia students. Overall, it's a great campus.
    Bang for the buck

    I could have gone somewhere cheaper, but I am happy with my academic program and with the amount of financial aid I am receiving. I also feel that getting a degree from Concordia will put me in a better position to find a job I am happy with than if I had gone to a public, less expensive school.
    Tips for prospective students

    Bring a car to campus. If you don't, you will have almost nothing to do on campus, and there is not a lot within walking distance. If you don't have a car, make friends with someone who does, quickly. If you like coffee, bring your own coffee maker because the coffee shop is closed on weekends.
    Great for these types of students

    Concordia has many great opportunities open to every type of student. Those who are not happy at Concordia are not happy because they do not search out activities that they are interested in and get involved with them. Get involved as soon as you can! If you want a party school, don't go to Concordia. If you want a great sense of community, small class sizes, and a great education, choose Concordia.

    Academic Rigor

    This school is a great fit for me. The teachers are true to their beliefs, and they are fantastic! The extracurriculars help us learn, as well.
    Am enjoying being here

    I'm loving this school. I have some good friends here, and I'm having fun with all the activities.
    Bang for the buck

    It could be cheaper, and the meal program could have some tweaks made to it. They now charge to park your car. However, the plays and concerts are very cheap.
    Tips for prospective students

    Try to get classes that are taught by regular teachers, not adjuncts. Also, take advantage of the library.
    Great for these types of students

    All students. It's great for people that are not big fans of heavy urban environments.

    The professors at Concordia are very willing to make time to individually get to know their students. This makes it comforting to be able to utilize their office hours, meeting them outside of class to ask additional questions and recieve the needed help. The tutoring program at Concordia was also very helpful for me because you are getting the help that you need, on your schedule, with a current student. Knowing that this person was once in your spot makes it more comforting to ask questions to someone your own age, reviewing anything that you may need additional understanding on. The class sizes here make it easy to ask questions and interact not only with the professor themselves but the students as well.
    Bang for the buck

    Concordia's educational programs are very worth the money that you pay. Because it is a private university it is a bit more costly but it is VERY worth it. The small class sizes and the atmosphere of the school is very welcoming. Also, because of this, in contrast to a public school, you are not just a number to your professors here, they know you by name and build relationships with you as their students.
    Tips for prospective students

    Utilize all of your resources! They are made available to students for a reason, use them! Do not be embarassed to ask for help or to ask questions, for all you know someone else may have the same question as you do.

    Am learning a lot

    I have gone to private schools my entire life. Since the first grade I have known the same group of people. When I graduated high school, I wanted to leave Wisconsin and try public school. I met some interesting people, but to be honest, I felt like the education I received was not worth the $30,000 I had to pay. Concordia has teachers that CARE if you pass or fail. At many public schools, the teachers don't care about pushing you. I don't feel like another face in the crowd at CUW. I feel like I matter!
    Am enjoying being here

    I don't know a lot of people yet, but I am hopeful. There isn't as much diversity as I would like but I know that CUW has a lot of dances and other functions outside as well as inside of school so you can meet people. I plan on going to most of them this upcoming school year. Did I mention the school is right on the lake?! Very pretty. And theyre building new additions to the school.
    Bang for the buck

    For a private school education, I am paying a lot less than I did for public school out of state. If you live in WI, definitly look CUW up. They have more majors that I liked, than other schools, and they also have majors that partner with sister schools. I am an art major and half of my curriculum I learn at Concordia, and the other half I get to go to an ART SCHOOL! Great bang for your buck because many art schools are very expensive.
    Tips for prospective students

    Reach out to teachers, and other students in your classes especially if you aren't going to live on campus. And go to school early for a tour. Believe me it helps you find your classes when it comes to the first day of school.
    Great for these types of students

    Students who live in WI.
    Want a good education without so much financial burden.
    Like small classes and caring teachers.
    Want to go to an art school but cant afford it-->art majors
    If you like healthy learning environments

    Am learning a lot

    I am an education major and one of the greatest ways to see if you have the potential of becoming a great teacher is through observing and practicing. At CUW, we're provided many hours each year to go to schools, work with children, and learn through experience- not just through lecture. During class time at CUW, we still learn a lot through tips, instructions, and great strategies we can use in our future classrooms.
    Am enjoying being here

    I love the atmosphere here! The students here are so welcoming and kind. There are always opportunities and clubs to join to do something new, meet great people, and get away from the school work. There are movies shown, several intramural sports to play, ways to grow closer to Christ, and a gorgeous lake to gaze at and listen to. Even when it's cold out we're protected by the underground tunnels connecting the whole campus. It's a great excuse to stay in slippers all day.
    Bang for the buck

    Because it is a private university, it is expensive. (All universities are.) Overall, I think the quality of education given and the location of the campus makes it all worth it. The majority of dorms are in great condition and there are plans to build even better ones. There are scholarships available which makes things easier too!
    Tips for prospective students

    If you want to come and check the campus out, there are many tours given each week. If you want a couple days experience, there are opportunities to stay with a current student here too.
    Great for these types of students

    Those wanting to become teachers, nurses, or work anywhere in the business field. There are a lot of athletes too.

    Will learn a lot

    From what I have read, the educational aspect of this school is phenomenal. Also, I have met several people who have attended Concordia and have stressed to me how their learning experience was not like any other.
    Will enjoy being here

    There seems to be a lot to do on campus from zumba classes to walks on the bluff, there always seems like something to do. Also from my research I have discovered that Milwaukee is ONLY 15 minutes away!!!!! Also the students seem to be wonderful people who uplift one another. I will not know anyone at the school, but I am not worried about making friends.
    Bang for the buck

    Though the college seems more expensive, when you consider the grants and scholarships you will receive WHY WOULDN'T YOU ATTEND???!!!!! A little bit extra money to spend on college will pay off when you are getting a better education and furthering your faith in a nurturing environment.
    Great for these types of students

    Christians who want to further their faith and their education at the same time.

    Am learning a lot

    I learned so much my first semester of college! It was a lot different than high school. You have small classes and you and the teachers take time to let you get to know everyone in your class. Also you get to know your teacher. They will know you by name at least by the end of the first month unlike other colleges where the teacher will never know you by name or who you are. The teachers are very caring and they want to see you pass. They will answer any of your questions and take time out of their day to help you. They will never let you fall behind. I would definitely recommend this school if you want to really learn everything for your major. I've had a professional tell me that their best employee was from Concordia and that they knew more than any other employee when they first started!
    Am enjoying being here

    I absolutely love being at Concordia! It is a smaller school so you get to become very close with everyone. You will make many friends and everyone is willing to talk to you and get to know you. We have events on campus to get to meet people such as dances, movies, bonfires, and lots of other stuff! It is a beautiful campus and you are right on the water and also close to a big city if you want to go for a night out to the city. They also have intramural sports which are very fun to do. They have classes every night that anyone can go to such as zumba and kickboxing. Also, during the winter you don't have to walk outside to get to your classes! There are tunnels connecting the whole entire school. I think that anyone would fit in at this school and definitely enjoy it.
    Bang for the buck

    Honestly, Concordia is not any more expensive than any other University. Of course college in general is expensive. If you wanted a really cheap college a two year program at a technical college would be the way to go. If you want to attend a University however, Concordia is really priced out the same. It seems like it's more expensive by the face cover price but Concordia gives you their own scholarships and grants which makes it even out to other University's. Sometimes it's even cheaper!
    Tips for prospective students

    The tips that I would give prospective students it to go to social events. Don't be shy. I have not met one mean or stuck up person while being in Concordia. You will make friends. You just have to open up and let yourself be you. Talk to anyone. I would also suggest to map our your classes before you go the next morning because on your first day you may get a little confused! If you walk around the campus enough you will learn the whole campus in no time! I would really also suggest tutoring for classes you are struggling with. I was never tutored in high school and never thought I would need to be. I took advanced anatomy and physiology my first year at Concordia and tutoring really helped me get an A in the class. You can get practice tests from tutoring that help you understand what you know and what you need to work on. Another suggest would be for your meal plan to pick the meal plan with 10 meals a week and 400 Falcon Points. I think that, that is the best meal plan to go with. You will have enough points and not have to worry about running out at the end of the semester. However, if you want to eat breakfast in the cafeteria everyday I would suggest the 15 meals a week and 200 falcon points. I hope that helped!

    Concordia is a community oriented university interested in the success of all of its past, present, and future students. This university is constantly trying to update, remodel, and stay up to date with the latest and nicest facilities and technology. Professors are friendly and care about the success of the students.
    Tips for prospective students

    Students looking to attend Concordia should be aware of the services the school provides and take advantage of the advisors. Prospective students should not be afraid and enjoy the people here because it is a truly safe environment.
    Academic Rigor

    Concordia obviously has a difficult curriculum like any other university, but the academic services, available tutoring, and teachers make it easy to understand.
    Dorm Life

    All of the dorms at Concordia and smoke and alcohol free, have quiet hours, and opposite sex hours. With that said, I haven't experienced any problems living in the dorms here and all of the dorms and buildings are connected so you never have to go outside. All of the dorms have a special quality, some have bathrooms, some are suites, some are very large, and some have living rooms and individual rooms.
    Food and Dining

    There are currently four options for dining and I heard we are looking to expand. There is a coffee shop, sub/ soup/ ice cream shop, cafeteria with numerous options, and a grill. The hours on weekends are not very convenient though.
    What to do for fun

    The campus activity board is always looking to put on an event for students. We have dances, hypnotists, bands, Deal or No Deal, zumba, kickboxing, movies, and more. There is also a beach and bluff which provide a great place to exercise, take photos, or enjoy the weather.
    Bang for the buck

    I think Concordia is worth what I pay for it because I know they will always be there to provide me with resources for job searches and the environment of the school is great.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    There is chapel every day at 9:30am in which many professors, staff, and students attend.
    Great for these types of students

    Concordia is great for students who are very community oriented, religious, and looking for a safe and friendly environment.
    Clubs and Activities

    There is everything from culinary club to design to math to sports. There is something for every student.
    Campus Safety

    The safety of the campus is so good that sometimes campus safety is annoying or you can't get in some doors with your id.

    this is a very closed in school with a very heave faith based school. the educational promise is something to be proud of here, but the freedom that the kids have here is very slim. that would be the only reason that new students would not come here is the freedom to be a college student.
    Tips for prospective students

    figure out how much you would like to be a college student and how much of your faith you would like to be in your everyday schooling.
    Academic Rigor

    their educational promise is high but the teachers could find better ways to teach the students.
    Dorm Life

    the differences in dorms are reliant, making the kids that done have great grades stay in bad great dorms.
    Food and Dining

    food quality is good and i think we are doing a better job with coming up with new types foods.
    What to do for fun

    there isn't much to do at school but we are changing that. go out to the next biggest city.
    Bang for the buck

    for how much i am paying i am not getting what i should quality wise. there are many things that we could do better with all the money we get from the students.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    there are nine other concodias around the country.
    Great for these types of students

    students that are used to the close proximity, people from small towns and small families.
    Campus Safety

    we are in the middle of nowhere so there isn't much to hurt us.
