Student reviews

Professors

Freshman

I am a freshmen at Concordia University Ann Arbor this year. My major is going to be Athletic Training. I am also on the cross country and track team. We are over half way down with first semester. I have been loving all my classes and the professors are amazing.

Campus and vibes

Sophomore

Concordia gives an abundance of love and passion for you when you arrive. So far, I have met long life friends throughout my journey there. I am also involved in athletics which has given me a mini-second family, we are all connected and have been given many memories that I will keep for a lifetime.

Freshman

I like the sense of community that comes with being at a small school. Since it is a small school, there are many opportunities for one to continue on with athletics and other extracurricular activities collegiately. There are many job opportunities on campus and they are easy to apply for and have very flexible hours, so you can work in between classes to help you pay for school.

Freshman

The students are involved and love to interact with each other. The school as many clubs and sports to get involved in. The classes are small so the teachers get to know the students.

Student

They are shutting down, but overall, Concordia was a great school that provided students with tons of academic advances and opportunities.

Student

Concordia Ann Arbor is all about bringing people together. It became my home. It will always hold a special place in my heart. Concordia allowed me to sing my heart out and worship Jesus. It has granted me the privilege to learn more about music and will help me gain my bachelors in music and I couldn't be more grateful.

Current Student

The Cafe has plenty of options to choose from for such a small school. The staff is excellent and gets to know all the students by name. The Nest is also open for students to grab that snack to go or have a late night meal.

Current Student

The cafe is pretty awesome. This year the cafeteria is under new management and they do a great job. The average meal is about 6.00 and it's all you can eat. They have different stations for you to eat at and the food is all freshly prepared, quite often right in front of you. It is a great atmosphere.

Current Student

There are two options on campus for food, the first being the cafeteria and the second being the Nest. The cafeteria's quality of food is sometimes wary, but it has been improving. The food service's contract is also up and change/improvement is in the near future. The Nest is the option for snacks throughout the day as well as late night meals.
