Christian is a university that serves primarily average to somewhat
below average students from mainly the surrounding area and Ohio.
There are very few positive things to comment on...the
KCU experience is not a valid collegiate experience. My
friends who went to other univerisities seem to be having
a much better time socially, and are doing much more
advanced academic work. Many of the main drawbacks of
the university revolve around the campus itself. It is
unsightly—typical 60's/70's style beige brick architecture and massive amounts of
concrete, no greenspace, and a 'beautiful' mobile home dealership on
the side. The facilities are not only outdated, but
extremely ugly and of little benefit to the students.
The food is horrible, the surrounding town is absolutely worthless,
there are no real organizations of value to get involved
with. This is definitely regarded as more of a
high school by most of the students here and the
surrounding communities. KCU is the place to go if
you want an overbearing christian environment and nothing more.
When asked “why you chose KCU” the answer is almost
always “I wanted a christian atmosphere”, the sad fact is,
that is all this school offers. Imagine going to
church five days a week with a few irrelevant homework
assignments. That is KCU. No social life.
Nothing to take pride in. No prestige—saying that you
went to KCU has the same pull as saying you
graduated from community college. Athletic teams are comparable to
high school teams in all aspects. People rave about
the choir/music department, but it is not good at all.
They practice the majority of the year for one
concert that is overrated in every sense of the word.
When the choir/chorale/etc. is compared to that of other
schools, you will see how horrible it is. The
only ones who actually like the choir are those who
are in it—they are blinded by all of the preparation
they put into there performances and don't realize the poor
results, and the fact that they usually do a performance
at carnegie hall which has been reviewed as “unworthy” by
a magazine. No one knows why they have gotten
to sing there multiple times when there are so many
other more deserving candidates...still a puzzle to me. Academic
work is solely high-school level with religion requirements dominating the
curriculum. I love my christian background, but I have
to admit that the time and money spent on coursework
here would be better spent on courses relevant to my
major. I can honestly say this is one of
the worst colleges in america based on my experience.
I went here for the emphasis on religion, and I
am leaving here because I have never been more disappointed
in an experience. Good riddance, KCU.
