Covenant College

Date: Feb 13 2015
Major: Engineering Department (This Major's Salary over time)
I graduated valedictorian of my class (out of 12), got a 690 on my SAT math(90 points higher than the programs requirement), and entered Covenant's dual-degree engineering program hoping to eventually transfer to Georgia Tech. Covenant's core curriculum challenges you intellectually and spiritually on a level no other Christian undergraduate college can hope to contend. The intellectual fire power of your fellow freshman alone was humbling, and unfortunately I was unable to participate in the campus life to my satisfaction, the JV soccer program was still too competitive for a non-club player, and the hall life alone (1st bell or catacombs) is enough to fill up your entire evenings. Combined with the busy work of mathematics courses, and the high expectations of all the professors, this is not a place to go if you want all A's and a life.

If you have dietary issues, make sure their dining service can work with you

If you are sleeping less than 5 hours a night in the first three weeks of classes, drop one!

The outdoors club is hyper inflated with wanna be hikers. To the point where the last snowboarding trip was more of an email raffle than a legitimate attempt to foster interest. They need to be split into a boardsport club, hiking club, and caving club, just to organize the sea of interest.

I left because I wanted to surf, eat well, and study a field requiring more creativity than Covenant's engineering program.
