My courses were rigorous, challenging, and small in student numbers. I never felt that I was merely doing busy work. In fact, most of my courses encouraged discussion and expression of ideas. Most of my professors were extremely knowledgeable, intelligent, and honestly cared about my growth as a student. Having gone to graduate school at an extremely large university, I know that this is not the case for other college students. At other schools, it is often the TA's that often teach courses of 400 students...not the most conducive learning environment. I think that Concordia prepared me very well for my career. It is true, Concordia attracts a particular demographic (white Christians). However, consider the location (its on the border between Minnesota and North Dakota....not the most racially diverse areas of our country). Thus, for someone to complain about the lack of racial diversity is equivalent to someone complaining about the lack of Caucasians at the University of Kenya. It also attracts more politically moderate to conservative students. However, as a liberal and a minority, I never felt as though I was in a stifling environment. Reading some of the other comments, you would have thought this school was on par with Bob Jones University. It is not. Although many students might be more conservative, I always felt as though they were willing to hear me out and have an intelligent honest discussion....isn't that what college is supposed to be. Overall I think Concordia is a wonderful school. Its not for everyone, but what school is. Go Cobbers! Faculty Accessibility: A+, Social Life: B Have a Question?

Concordia is nothing more than a haven for Christian Conservatives that dare not venture outside the realm of white-bred America. The lack of diversity is appalling. In fact, I did a little experiment last fall. I stood near the bell tower (which is about 12 years old and has stupid made up traditions that people take seriously for some reason) where I counted the number of white people before I saw anybody of any other race. I think it was something like 47 whites to one minority the first time, then the second a little over 50 to one. Really, anything other than a white Lutheran is rare. The atmosphere at Concordia is stifling. The place is not conducive to worth while learning whatsoever. The classes are not near the difficulty of what college classes should be, especially at a place that says it's so prestigious. R The propagandists at Concordia are shameless. They sell their garbage rhetoric even to students that already go here. They claim to equip students with the necessary tools to "impact the world" while being "responsibly engaged." I won't go into detail on this BS, because I'd be typing all night. Overall, Concordia has been a terrible experience. I wouldn't wish this on anybody. I'd say a good way to classify the school is that the only people that could possibly be happy here are the ones smart enough to get good grades, but too ignorant to see through the charade.
