Carson Newman University

At first, I thought that this school was too small. What was I thinking? I could have attended a larger state university. However, after Welcome Week and getting to know people, I felt comfortable and cared for. Faculty and staff pray for you and your success. These things do not happen at "state u". Its close enough to the city and tourist areas for fun, and far enough away for peace and quiet. Cheering on our winning teams, especially Football and Soccer, is great, too!!

Come here if you are serious about your studies and professional calling. Do not come here if you want the traditional college experience (partying/getting drunk/getting laid). Many opportunities to serve: from the local communities to international missions. Concerts, lectures, plays, music, intramurals, sports: C-N is an active campus. It is located within the town, so you don't feel isolated. TVA lakes surround us, Knoxville and the Smokey Mts are 30 minutes away. Larger towns of Morristown and Dandridge are 15 to 20 minutes away. A degree from here is well-respected. Many students receive full-ride scholarships to graduate schools across the country. Previous comments are dated: campus improvement is ongoing. Two classroom buildings were recently built. Several other buildings are being rennovated.

The College has an excellent reputation in the region for producing serious students and graduates as opposed to kids who went to party. The academics were very good and the access to caring knowledgeable faculty was amazing. If you want a great academic education and an environment which promotes good character go to this school. The honors program and the arts department were both wonderful and I feel the school really helped shape the man I am today.
