Secret witness program allows students to make minor accusations about you without identifying themselves and without corroboration. Yoy will be interogated. Other students will blame you for being a silent witness and you have no way of proving you were not. A good way to lose friends. If someone does not like you or if you have a disagreement they can silent witness you and make your student life miserable. The disciplinary process is unfair and the people involved are full of themselves and arrogant. You will be on your own during this process. When you turn 21 and you want to have adrink at dinner or someone with you has a drink you are in danger of the Messiah process.

I absolutely detest this school. I transferred in from an even smaller Christian school. I was extremely closed minded when I attended this school so I thought it was great. After leaving, I now embrace atheism which gives me a unique outlook. Messiah is full of very sheltered children and athletes. The majority of the individuals I interacted with were either educated from birth in Christian schools or home schooled. If you are a parent reading this and do not want your child to experience the joys of the real world, send your child her. Messiah has great polices to ensure that your child will not be able to normal college activities like hang out in an opposite gender's dorm room on Monday or Thursday nights. Alcohol? Its around. You may think from the college's brochure that everyone is excited to be alive at Messiah. The truth of the matter is your only important if you've got money. There is a sign coming into campus that reads "Christ Preeminent". I'm sure most with agree it should read, "Cash Preeminent". This school is complete self-absorbed with appearances. They tore up the last aesthetically pleasing spot on campus to pave in a new parking lot and to construct their monstrosity they call the new "worship center". Social experience is really the most important aspect of college. Its where the real learning about one's self takes place. Messiah understands who goes to Messiah and they understand that the majority will not leave their friends to go to another school so they can just walk over their students. Do yourself a favor and stay far away.

I transferred to Messiah from a large state school because I wanted something smaller and friendlier - one of the biggest mistakes of my life.

While many of the students are nice, a good portion of them are arrogant and self-entitled, but that is avoidable.

Other than one Philosophy professor, the rest of the faculty was a joke. The curriculum was extremely easy (Biology) compared to other schools, and did not provide adequate research and laboratory experience. I couldn't imagine trying to get a job with a degree from this university; I talked to several recruiters and I decided to transfer back to my large state university after only a semester at Messiah.

I had a wonderful time at the large school. People there were much more friendlier and down-to-earth. I ended up succeeding there and having a great time. My only regret was not sticking it out.

Don't go to Messiah... it offers nothing that other schools don't, and lacks the facilities and opportunities of other schools.
