Admissions

Visit! If you organize a visit through the college on the right day of the week (Mon, Wed or Fri), you qualify for a $500 scholarship your first year here! Plus, you could stay in the rad dorms. :D Also, get your FAFSA done as early as possible (Corban's reservoir for financial assistance depletes significantly by the summer... the earlier you're in the system, the better chance you'll have for getting every penny you can). Check into the scholarships Corban offers and apply for whatever you qualify for! Also, take that SAT or ACT more than once in hopes of qualifying for a higher academic scholarship--one point on the ACT got me another $8,000.

If you are a student here, I would suggest that you bring a car to campus. It is not an absolute necessity, but the bus stop is a thirty minute walk from campus, and the campus is a five minute drive out of town.

When checking out schools, be aware that many schools use gimmicks to entice you; and therefore, do not always provide an accurate image of college life at that particular school.
However, if you decide to attend Corban University, be ready for a packed orientation weekend, full of meeting new people, moving onto campus and entering dorm life. A great way to prepare for all this is to take advantage of the CorbanConnect, which is an online forum available to incoming freshmen to meet other new freshmen.

Visit! There are two weekend overnight visits each year (one in November and one in February or March), and there are individual campus tours almost daily. I would highly encourage you to come visit and see what our campus is like.

1. Keep your door open, and poke your head into other people's doors. It's a good way to get to know people quickly.
2. Take advantage of extracurricular activities, whether you are interested in drama, music, or self-defense.
3. Get into shape. We have a lot of stairs here on campus!

Visit the campus if at all possible. It's a beautiful campus with wonderful people. You can only get a feel for the campus atmosphere and if it is right for you if you come and visit. Plus you can only get the $500 visit scholarship if you visit. The Corban Experience, one in the fall and one in the spring, are the best times to come.

Corban University is hard to get into - you will need to really sell yourself to Admissions! Also, you will have to write a little testimony on how you came to faith in Christ, how you have grown in your spiritual walk, and so on.

Also, be sure to look into Corban's scholarships. Many majors have their own special scholarships - Political Science, for example, has 10 $16,000 scholarships that they give to outstanding applicants who have prior political experience.

Also, look at my comment on Dorm life if you want to know what dorm building is right for you - each has its own personality!

If you want to attend Corban, ensure you will go there all four years. Transferring into or out of the school is a major headache, and I would not advise any student to undertake it.

Get on the scholarships early!
