I transferred here this year from a school in West Virginia and let me tell you, this school is just amazing! I'm from the north where almost everyone cares about their own thing and puts others second. When I first came down here, I couldn't believe how friendly and approachable everyone was! I'm even really good friends with my tour guide from last year. The students are laid back and approachable, they're all sensative to the needs of others and are willing to help a fellow student regardless of the situation they're in. The professors here are awesome! Their willingnesss to help students with whatever they need help with makes life that much better. I've even had quite a few pray with the class during the first couple of weeks. Almost every staff member here on campus treats each student like their part of their immediate family. Words can't describe how blessed I am to be here. I LOVE CARSON NEWMAN! The only downside to Carson-newman is the student life on the weekends. It can get kind of borning but SGA is working on getting more activities together for students to participate in on the weekends. Also, some of the dorms are getting a little old, but maintenence does their best to fix whatever problem may arise to the best of their ability. If you are looking for a university where you want to get a great education, make life long friends and develop your relationship even more with Jesus Christ then this is the place to be!

This was used to the students' advantage because we had some level of say on the focus of various classes. I feel my degree was very well rounded, both in my major and only subjects. While I was disappointed that my honors and upper level classes in high school were not needed for my major, I took the opportunity to get more involved in campus life. The problem has been that the campus focusses too much on freshman as opposed to the student body as a whole. I lived on campus all 4.5 years and found that after my first yea, there was nothing to do. The faculty are amazing-I have some of them as friends on Facebook and they even approached me about writing letters for grad school. Since it is a Baptist college, a lot of focus is on the church groups, so look for ithr things if you're not into that or you will have nothing to do. I joined a community service sorority and also worked with many of their theatre productions-I highly recommend them. While the city is small and everything you want to do is a long drive away, the people there are what matter, especially the faculty. Education Quality: A+, Surrounding City: D Have a Question?

It is small and laid-back. The stress of a big city doesn't exist here. There are grocery stores, places to eat, and pretty much everything you would need to survive, but nearby Morristown offers more variety if you want it. CN is also located near the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge/Sevierville are. It's about a 40 minute drive from campus, and this area obvioulsy offers all of the shopping, entertainment, and restaurants you could ever want. Knoxville is also about a 40 minute drive from campus, and it has EVERYTHING. If you are an outdoorsy person (which you will be after a couple weeks at CN!) the smokey mountains offers every kind of outdoor activity you can think of. The mountains are beautiful. This place will get into your soul. -The campus is pretty big considering the size of CN's student body. It's not the most beautiful campus in the world, but it does feel like home. The dorms are pretty typical, community bathrooms and all. The campus is NOT run down or dirty, as some have described it. Just come for a visit; I fell in love with CN the moment I saw the campus. :) -During my college search, I must have visited over a dozen schools, but the people at CN made the biggest impression on me. The people here are amazing. Everyone is striving for excellence, and it shows. I will say that if you want to make friends here, YOU have to take the first step. Friendships don't just happen, you have to try! Definetly get involved on campus every chance you get, whether you volunteer, join intramurals, or just attend a dorm activity. You'll meet your best friends here, but you have to try. -This is a Christian school, Southern Baptist to be specific. You need to know this before you commit to come here. There is nothing more frustrating than people complaining about required chapel services or the Christ-centered mindset here at CN. God is defintly at work here, and it shows everyday. -FOOD. The selection at the caf isn't the best, but what they do offer is really good. Always a salad bar! Besides the caf, you can use your meal plan at the Eagle's Nest (snack bar), Java City (COFFEE!), or at the bakery on campus. Great food here at CN. -Academics are challenging. There's no scraping by here at CN. You have to work hard to succeed. The profesors here are always willing to help, even if it takes hours. CN offers free tutoring, advising, and counsel if you need it. CN is hardwired to help you acheive your academic goals. -I can't really say much about financial aid at CN. The only thing I know is the financial aid package they gave me. I am a TN resident, so I did receive my lottery scholarship in addition to CN's aid. Simply put: CN gave me a shcolarship, grant, and work study. My schooling is almost all paid for (and I only got a 25 on my ACT). A public school would have been alot more expensive. This is a really great college that I would choose again! You should consider Carson Newman College as your school. Education Quality: A+, Campus Maintenance: B Have a Question?
