In three sentences | My time at Pillar was a warm, inviting atmosphere. They do their best to help you. If you give it a chance, you can receive a solid education there. |
Tips for prospective students | They helped me build a schedule around my full-time work hours. Its a small school, but you can still find |
Academic Rigor | Certain classes require heavy workloads. Some professors push you harder than you'd might expect. However, if you really devote yourself, you can excel farther than you think. |
Dorm Life | Its a commuter college. So don't expect dorms. |
Food and Dining | It has a small cafe where you can buy drinks, snacks and freezer food. No reason to have meal plans, when you are commuting. |
Bang for the buck | Compared to bigger schools around, its cheaper. But it's a private college, so the tuition will go up year to year. It's expected since they don't get normal institutional funding like public colleges. Common sense folks. |
Great for these types of students | Full-time workers. Adults who didn't obtain their degree after high school. Home-schoolers. Anyone who wants to go into Ministry. Students that want to become Counselors. |
Clubs and Activities | They have an Intramural program that meets during each semester. They play indoor Volleyball, Soccer, Basketball, Football. They have 1 Bowling Night each semester. They have a Student vs. Staff Softball game during the Spring semester. They have a Student Retreat each year around Spring Break. |
Greek Life | It's a commuter school. Students who come here will not expect to have this. |
Campus Safety | Very safe. Well-light parking lots in Somerset. In Newark, they have safe parking garages and the building in monitored by security. |
