Student reviews

Professors

Student

Look into the different programs! WWC and BI are both great programs that I did not get to participate in, unfortunately. The BI (Bible and Israel) program is a one year program that intensely studies only the Bible and Israel. Then they go to Israel for two weeks!

Campus and vibes

Prospective

As a high school senior, I did not know what to expect when visiting a college or university. But I will say, Cairn University has exceeded my expectations in an incredible way. Not only is the student body incredibly welcoming, accepting and kind, but the faculty is amazing too!

Prospective

I have applied & have been accepted to Cairn. The process of applying was super simple and the administration & board were always there to help me.

Student

Pray about it. I've heard many stories in addition to my own about students who had PBU lower on their list of preferred colleges, but it somehow ended up at the top. The only reason we have is that God wants us here.

Student

I would recommend visiting PBU before making a decision. It is very helpful to be able to get a feeling of what a school is like before deciding to attend it. PBU has a program where prospective students can stay overnight in a dorm and attend classes.

Student

Don't be afraid to ask your counselor questions and be sure to visit the campus. PBU definitely has it's own lifestyle, so make sure you will enjoy it.

Student

Make sure you visit campus! You need to be able to get the feel of the university with students on campus and see what a typical day at Cairn would be. Don't be rushed in choosing any school no matter what people tell you.

Student

Student

Make sure to contact your admissions counselor and do not be ashamed to ask many questions! Come and visit and ask students about their favorite part of campus life!
