I'm a fairly "gifted" student- not particularly genius, but top of my class all the way through school. (Straight A's, Salutatorian) I come from a very academically-focused family, and went to small public schools (Class C).

I love CUAA. I first came here when I was in 7th grade, when my eldest sister was deciding on colleges, and I determined that no matter what she decided, I was going to come to Concordia. (7th grade was also when I decided on my career path, which I am still following.)

This is a small, friendly school. We all know each other, or at least know of each other, and the faculty tend to be more like friends, mentors, and tutors, rather than aloof

types.

Concordia is a Lutheran university. This does not mean that only Lutherans are allowed, but it does mean that the campus in general holds certain values. (Students are free to disagree with these values as much as they want, so long as they don't break the school rules.) It's a dry campus, which might bother some people, but if you're not planning to get drunk you can just go to downtown Ann Arbor and buy a drink there.

Lately, in an attempt to attract more students, the school has let some of the religious emphasis slide, and has been working on attracting athletes. Since we aren't known for athletics (we're primarily a music-, pre-sem-, and pre-education- school), this seems rather silly to me.

On the bright side, now that our new President is offically in office, finances are settling, and the recruiting is swinging back to our intended demographic: people interested in a Christian (or at least moral) education.

Life on campus can be full of joy regardless any alcohol restrictions or certain rules based on religious ethics. Those who think they might miss some experience are mistaken. You’ll still have many friends, parties, ability to use essay writing service, and of course hundreds of glory days.
