Student reviews

Professors

Student

My overall experience at Schreiner University was positive and intellectually challenging. The small class sizes allowed for meaningful discussions, close interaction with professors, and personalized academic support. Coursework in business, law, and contracts helped me build strong analytical and problem-solving skills that directly supported my professional goals.

Student

The professors are very helpful and are there for you every step of the way.

Campus and vibes

Other

They do not have prerequisites for classes. According to the registrar, you can take whatever you want whenever you want. When I was an unassuming freshman, my advisor enrolled me ( a non-science major) in A&P2 without any prior science knowledge. When I tried to withdraw, she said that I was not allowed to. I got a D in that class.

Current Student

I have had an amazing experience at Schreiner so far! I truly enjoy coming to work every day. All of the staff and students are passionate about making Schreiner the best it can be. I love the campus size, and the feeling of being one big family.

Freshman

The staff was very inviting making the orientation and application process very easy to get through with step by step help from both the financial aid dept. and the admissions office. The campus is beautiful and offers many amenities

Student

So far, being a commuter allows me to have a lot more time to work at home which is more efficient for me in case of needing supplies only accessible back home or in need of alone time without any stress of being out in public. Schreiner also allows first-year students to take Wednesdays off of class work to ease us into the college experience, giving us a small break in between the week to catch up on any missing assignments.
