Am learning a lot | At King College the professors care a lot about each student as an individual and strive beyond their job requirements to make sure each student understands the subject at hand. |
Am enjoying being here | King is a close family. We do many things and hold many activities that invite the who student body to participate in. Both on-campus and commuters are urged to participate in intramurals, lip-sync, shows, etc. It is very easy to meet and befriend people here at king. |
Bang for the buck | King is definitely worth the price. We get free laptops and free maintenance on them. At king we also have a wide selection of food and a nice facility to dine in. The campus also has a new gym that includes a racquetball court, weight room, training room, game room, cardio room, and lounging areas. |
Tips for prospective students | King is very good at meeting the needs of students and hearing out what we would like as a student body. My tip for you is to contact King and tell them exactly what your looking for in a school and they will do their best to give you that. It is easy to contact coaches or department heads to search out more information. Also plan a visit, as students we love to have upcoming students spend the night and to show them around king. |
Great for these types of students | King is great for Athletic Students. We have many sports here and teachers are great with working around sports schedules and keeping students currant on class studies. King is also a Christian school, and its really great for students who are trying to strengthen there testimony of Christ. King doesn't influence students to believe a certain way but provides the students opportunities to learn for them selves what they believe. Students who are also interested in studying abroad, King has many opportunities for that as well as mission trips to many other countries. |

In three sentences | I like king college very much it has helped me get to know many new people. It is a small school but i have found that i learn better in a small classroom situation. This college is just perfect for me. |
Tips for prospective students | Make sure you are ready for a small town feeling of a college. Everybody knows everybody here. |
Dorm Life | The dorm life is pretty fun hanging out with your buddies and your girl if you have one. Its just a big adjustment from being home with your mom doing everything for you. |
Food and Dining | The dining hall is pretty good. It has its bad days, but what dining hall doesn't? |
What to do for fun | There are many things to do around here. We usually go to the movies, go bowling, or even go play a little putt putt golf. |

Will learn a lot | I expect to learn an exceptional amount of knowledge from King College, during my attendance there. From the research and personal experience I have gathered, I believe that King College has provided excellent teaching staff and learning materials for students to access. Moreover, it possesses dedicated staff who are more than willing to help any student through the transition into college. |
Will enjoy being here | Campus life at King College is especially encouraging. Since the campus is small, it provides a safe environment that feels more like a close-knit community, rather than a university. It possesses all the necessary amenities a student could need and provides an environment that facilitates learning and campanionship among students. It also provides several programs on campus that will give students the opportunity to meet others and kindle long-lasting friendships, as well as learning opportunities through guest speakers and educational servies. |
Bang for the buck | For all its virtues, King College is an expensive school to attend for both students within the state and outside of the state. It does, however, provide extensive financial aid to students and offers staff who make it a priority to help students in need of financial assistance. |
Tips for prospective students | For prospective students at King College, don't be afraid to ask for assistance. The teachers and staff on campus are always friendly and helpful, and they make it their job to offer a helping hand whenever they can. |

Am learning a lot | The classes here encourage self-growth. You are able to understand who you are and form your own opinions about the issues of society. Out of the box thinking is a common phrase used by professors when talking about writing essays. I have been able to find out who I truly am here at King College. |
Am enjoying being here | I love that there are all four seasons here in TN. You can watch nature change and experience all of mother natures qualities. |
Bang for the buck | Money is tight, especially with the economy. The tuition keeps going up which doesn't help students who do not have money to spend on college. Definitely look into financial aid. There are many resources available to help you through the money troubles of paying for college. |
Tips for prospective students | Do not be afraid to ask for help. The students and staff here are more than happy to help you with any of your needs or concerns. |
Great for these types of students | King College is a great environment for students who enjoy getting to know their professors. The student ratio was 14:1 this year which made it easy to contact and seek help from your professors. King College is also a great environment for students who enjoy the simple things in life. The campus is not very big which makes it easy to go from class to class. This is also a great way to meet people. The community of students is small and friendly which makes you feel welcome and accepted. |

Am learning a lot | Based on everything I have heard and witnessed for myself, this school provides an excellent atmosphere to learn in and grow as a person. The professors are all dedicated and willing to have one-on-one study sessions with their pupils. A variety of speakers are brought in weekly to talk with students during chapel hours about very diverse topics. Additionally, there are lots of opportunities to study abroad or take missionary trips. Overall, King is a great place to learn and grow. |
Am enjoying being here | I have really enjoyed meeting everyone on campus, and it already feels like a home away from home. Moreover, for such a small campus, it is highly diverse. Students from all over the globe attend King, and I have been able to experience many different cultures within the small campus. |
Bang for the buck | The only downside of attending a private school like King is the price tag that comes with it. However, there are several scholarship opportunities that help offset the cost, and in my opinion, the education and experiences this school offers are well worth the cost. |
Tips for prospective students | Students who are interested in King should apply, begin searching for scholarships immediately, and speak with the employees in the Business Office and Financial Aid Office. They will help future students get where they need to be. |
Great for these types of students | King is a great college for students who prefer a smaller student body, but want to be near a city. (Downtown Bristol and Johnson City are very close to campus.) Additionally, students who thrive on challenges and new experiences will enjoy studying at King college. |
