    Am learning a lot

    Schreiner University has offered me everything I can ask for in a college or university. The faculty on campus make it their mission that you understand the course work and they will personally assist you in any way they can. SU has taught me so much in the short time that I have been a student. I cannot even express how much the school has helped me grow in my personal goals.
    Am enjoying being here

    I could not ask for a better university. Everyone on the campus, the students, professors, deans, and administration, are friendly. Schreiner's slogan, Learning by Heart is only half of what SU offers you; it offers you not just friends but a family. You not only grow by educational means but as well as socially, through Greek Life, Volunteer opportunities, Campus events and even dorm hall activities. I truly is amazing the kind of people that you will find here at Schreiner University, it's like no where else.
    Bang for the buck

    Schreiner has one of the best Financial Aid programs I came across when researching different colleges and universities. Majority of the students at Schreiner University has in some shape or form a type of financial aid whether it be through scholarships, grants, or loans. Besides the bang for the buck on education, SU actively exercises healthier living. For this reason, SU has a complete fitness center that holds anything from dance classes, full access gym, raquet ball and tennis courts, and several fitness classes all free to the students. Along with all these fitness and healthy living classes and resources, Schreiner offers medical/clinical services (they have a nurse and doctor who are always happy to help when you are feeling ill and under the weather). What else could you ask for?
    Tips for prospective students

    Don't be afraid to ask questions. You will truly be amazed of how many new people and friends you will meet here at Schreiner. Be prepared to get the ball rolling once you start classes. Also just be yourself no one knows you so you don't have to act like someone else.
    Great for these types of students

    If you are wanting to go into the fields: Business, Graphic Design, Music/ Theatre, Science/medical, and Exercise Sciences; Schreiner has outstanding performances in all of these. Also if you don't know just what you want at the momemt SU is a good place to start.

    Am learning a lot

    I've learn that professor does negotiate here on not only assignments, but also exam dates. For example, I was suppose to have 3 finals on the same day, but I'd email my professor and he was able to let me take it early. There are help if you are struggling in school. At Schreiner we have the writing center to help with essay; the peer tutoring to help with any other subjects and best of all we have tutoring for the specific class.
    Am enjoying being here

    I grew up in California a big difference from this school. I knew if I want to success I have to exclude myself from all the partying. It gets lonely at times, but there's always groups to join or activities to do. We have a midnight dinner before finals: that's when the professor cooks for the students.
    Bang for the buck

    It's pricey for this university compare to some other colleges, but 90% of incoming students gets scholarship, including myself. The price is worth it because you get the extra help from professors and one-on-one attention; you are not just a number. When you come up to professor they know exactly who you are and how they can help you.
    Tips for prospective students

    Be able to do your own work at your own time. It's a competition out there even if they don't say it. Study as much as you can. Don't delay it because you will end up with a low GPA. Don't be surprise not achieving an A because for some class you are lucky to get a C!
    Great for these types of students

    students wanting to have a one-on-one attention from professor. Remember, you pay for your education so it need to be worth it.

    Am learning a lot

    Schreiner is very hands-on in it's learning, it really is, learning by the heart, as their slogan reads. Classes are small and designed to help each student as an individual, not as a number as some other larger schools would.
    Am enjoying being here

    I love being here at SU, there are so many things to do, and be part of. Greek life, Theatre, Art, all sorts of clubs to join. There really is something for every type of person here on campus. If there's not, the best thing about it, you can always suggest something, and even start up your own group. No one feels like an outsider, SU is really like having a family. A home away from home.
    Bang for the buck

    Classes are personalized. They're too the point, and really do try to prepare you for whatever field you plan to on pursuing. Many professors hold the title of Doctor in their field. Using real life experiences in place of theories. Schreiner's offers whatever they can to their students to make sure they recieve the education, students pay for.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you are looking at SU, consider yourself as a person. Do you enjoy one on one attention? Do you enjoy being a part of a group? If you want to receive an education that will really take you places then SU is perfect for you. It's small enough to have personalized attention, yet large enough to have the college experience, with it's sports teams, and it's academia.
    Great for these types of students

    Students who thrive in small group settings. Students who enjoy being connected to other people. Students who value a quality education while still being able to accomplish more than theories. Schreiner is great for students who are committed to education and value a quality school.

    Small classes which will allow easy contact with faculty.
    Easy access to get resources such as tutoring.
    Very challenging degree plans which will prepare you for professional degrees, I.E.: graduate, medicine, MBA, and doctorate.
    Tips for prospective students

    Get to know your teachers, they are there to help you, not intimidate you.
    Stay organized, it will make a difference in how we you study and what grades you earn.
    Always attend tutoring, even if you don't need it. It always helps.
    Become well known on campus, join organizations, it makes your college career go by faster and makes it worth while.
    Always be willing to get together a study group.
    Academic Rigor

    This is very important and it's always good to be challenged in college. It will allow you to want to advance your academic career into something bigger such as medical school, graduate school, etc. Yes, your college career may be difficult, but when it's all said and done, when you begin professional school, it will be a repeat of college. Which benefits you.
    Dorm Life

    This is where you learn to live with different people. We have all had good and bad experiences, but they both help us as we grow older. Here lies a healthy environment with friends and resident assistants. A community environment which will help brighten your academic career in college. However, it's very important not to become easily distracted, because every college student has.
    Food and Dining

    In college, the food is probably not the best thing to look forward to. But you're paying for it so take advantage of it! All colleges have both a cafeteria where the semi delicious meals are served and a type of den or lounge where students can come after a certain time to order burgers, pizza, hot dogs, etc. Be sure to remain healthy, and to stay away from the freshmen 15. We all want to go grab a bite to eat, fries, burger, etc while late night studying is taking place. Be aware of healthy food choices.
    What to do for fun

    When you and your friends are done with an exam, go out and see a movie. Visit a friend down the hall and watch a scary movie and order a pizza from Pizza Hut. It's always fun. Listen to music and workout together. However, everyone tries to have a great time i college, but always be careful and awareof the consequences if something goes wrong. Don't begin drinking if you've never thought about it before. A lot of college students engage in these acts their freshmen year and it always leads to more problems. There are indeed other things, such as events on campus you and a group of friends can attend. For example, my college always host a bingo night, UNO night, and comedy night prediodically throughout the year. Your resident assistants will also host small events in the dorm which you reside in.
    Clubs and Activities

    Student Activities Board is a great organization to join. At my school you can get paid to be a part of it as a work study. You can brain storm on all types of events to host at school and always be well known around school. If you're a science major, join the science club or medical careers club, it provides opportunities and tips on advancing your science career.
    Greek Life

    This is not an important part of college but if interested, it will allow in some situations networking opportunities with employers which you'd like to work for. Greek life gives you an opportunity to do community servce activities and bond with one another. However, if not recruited for a greek organization, it is not the end of the world, and you can succeed in college just as much as a greek peer.
    Campus Safety

    I have to say, this is very important. Become familiar with the campus security office and it's location. Most of them have a 24 hour number you can call if anything happens. Save that number in your phone and get comfortable with it quick.

    It is a very good school, especially if you prefer having smaller classes and your professors knowing who you are. There are so many ways you can get help here if you need it that you don't necissarily find in larger schools. Schreiner has a lot going for it.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you think you could highly benefit from having better contact with your professors and you don't mind having the small town and school thing, this is the place for you. If you don't want to go to the professor for help in course work, there's other options for you also.
    Academic Rigor

    I'd say it's about normal for college, at least as far as what I know of college. Some of it depends on the professor, as it usually would.
    Dorm Life

    It depends on what dorm you live in. Most of the dorms or on campus apartments don't really have as much of a family style thing going on that you might see in some dorms on other campuses, but it isn't necissarily a bad thing. It's just that you don't see as many people as often.
    Food and Dining

    It's alright. I wouldn't call it the best food in the world, but it's better than cafateria food in most high schools. What gets offered does get kind of repetative after awhile.
    What to do for fun

    I'll go to events that are happening on campus. There are Resident Assistent (RA) events and Student Activites Bored (SAB) events. One of the big things I like to go to when I can is the bingo games SAB hold throughout the year. You can win prizes at a number of events.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    One of the oldest buildings on campus, Delaney Hall, is supposed to be haunted, although most people haven't really ever had much encounters with the resedent ghosts.
    Great for these types of students

    Those that don't mind small towns and not having massive amounts of things to do. Also those who feel they could benefit from having support in area's that are often not offered in bigger schools.
    Clubs and Activities

    There are different sports like clubs and evening classes (for those who chose to attend), a campus ministry group, you can rent a canoe and go canoeing along a local river...there are several other student led groups on campus.
    Greek Life

    2 fraternities and 2 sororities
    Campus Safety

    There isn't ever any real danger most of the time. Although, if you do feel unsafe walking around anywhere, you could call campus security to escort you somewhere.
