If you're looking for a good, known, and downright stellar looking campus: this may be the school for you. I was only a prospective student,but fell in love with the campus. There were professors and students that genuinely seemed to want me there and for me to succeed. A few even want to keep in contact with me, knowing I'll be attending a different school. My admissions counselor, Faith, was and is the best counselor I have ever spoken to. She's to the point but is genuinely the nicest woman ever. When I had my in person interview with her, we talked for much longer than planned, just about anything that came up. Why did I not decide to go if I had such a good experience? Personally, I felt that a school far from civilization (45 minutes avg to Chattanooga) was a bit of an issue, but I also will say...it felt very white and preppy. Now, I say this as someone who looks white (I'm actually the color of milk). It gave the vibe of a prestigious prep school. But, I think if you're in love with the college it will be something you can look past unless you're looking for a safe haven from very white people. Their dining hall was actually very good as well! I recommend as someone with Gluten allergies, but if you're vegan...there's not that many options, especially at breakfast. As with all colleges, take your experience with a grain of salt! Colleges are not perfect, so even if you're head over heels, make sure to do your research on what's important. (whether that be the fact that there's no Chik-Fil-A, or deeper issues.) Good luck!
