Reviews

As far as academics go, the professors go out of their way to make themselves available to you to further your learning experience. One will find that the professors will be on campus during hours with an open door always available to discuss any matter (school or non-school related) as well as only a simple email or even phone call away. The intimate class sizes also allow for students and teachers to discuss the matter being taught at hand and bring up different points of views.

If you want to make great relationships and have an awesome learning experience, Warner is the place for you. It is on the smaller side as far as enrollment goes, but it is well worth it. With being only minutes from downtown Portland and having many parks around, it is almost too easy to make friends and find activities to take part in to get to know each other.

Private colleges are expensive, but the money spent is well worth for the learning experience (both inside and outside of the classroom).

Warner is great for anyone wanting to build relationships that last as well as gain a great education. Athletes, musicians, artists, you name it, you will fit right in.

We are required to do core classes, and though many complain about it since they seem to not have anything to do with their major or minor, I have found that things I learn from them can actually have quite a bit of commonalities with my major or minor.

Also, a lot of the professors are nice to talk to, yet many are strict with you about getting your homework in on time. Some professors give you a leniency if you turn an assignment in late, taking a certain percentage off, though it varies with each professor.

I have many friends, and since the campus is of a smaller size you either know everyone or know of everyone, which I really like.

There are plenty of activities, whether you are a commuter or a
live-on-campus student, and the library tries to accommodate each student. There are plenty of movies to watch for fun, and there are plenty of books, movies, and Cd's to use for research purposes. Can't find a book in the Warner book collection? Don't worry, use summit to ask for an item from a different school!

The amount of money may deter some people, and I have to admit, it deterred me, but the financial advisers help you work through it and you can take out loans and get scholarships from the school. Don't forget to check out the Match Your Church Grant and check out the scholarship binder at the financial aid office. Also, pay the interest and lower the principle while you are attending college so you can get a head start on paying the loans back!

I would definitely check on touring the campus or spending the night at the campus (the latter should be done ahead of time). Always research a college, and don't forget, if the school doesn't have a major you want, you can always create a major. Just take your core classes if you can't decide on a major. Also, the food is pretty good, although after having it every day for two years, I started to get tired of it and wanting to make my own food. But still, it's pretty good.

Sports scholarship students, students who are actively pursuing a degree, and those who want to have a great school experience.

Warner Pacific works on the basis of holistic education. The professors and staff want to help the community as much as the students do, and there are many groups on campus that work to help the Portland metro area. Attending Warner will give you a broad range of knowledge and accentuate your ability to connect what you are learning with you future career.

Because Warner is in the middle of a diverse community in Portland, diversity is an extremely important aspect in the school. It is important to keep an open mind and to invite other cultures to teach you about their perspective.

Each teacher has different expectations of their students. They push for growth in their subject and want their students to succeed. Most classes present a healthy challenge. There are tutors on campus to help struggling students.

There are apartments and dorms on campus. Because campus is small, there is very little walking distance between the dorms and most classes in comparison to a larger school.

Sodexo is the food provider. They are okay, but not fantastic. However, there are a lot of easy-access restaurants and coffee shops within walking distance. There is also a bus stop where you could go downtown for a multitude of options.

Warner's location is often described as in Mt. Tabor's bosom. There are a few dog parks and walking trails around the mountain with plenty of space to breathe and plant life to see. There is also easy access to the bus, which brings you into the seemingly endless fun that comes with living in Portland.

Warner Pacific College was ranked 37th in the nation by Washington Monthly's College Guide in September. When comparing the prices of various private colleges, Warner costs less. Because it is a smaller school, the staff and faculty can focus on each student.

Warner has a student-run talent show called The Undies. It takes place in the theatre and is packed tight every year!

Anyone looking for a broad, holistic education. People who interested in attending a school that identifies as Christ centered, which does not exclude people who are not Christian.

Students can create clubs if they can find students to join them. There are clubs like Mecha and a Pacific Islanders club for people of different ethnicities to connect. There are sports like basketball, soccer, and volleyball. However, there is no football.

There are no fraternities or sororities.

Campus safety is easy to contact, whether you need help with a person you do not feel safe around, or if you need to get into your locker because you forgot your car keys. The campus is right on Division street, so it is not safe to leave anything of value in the car.

Warner Pacific College offers a personal atmosphere in the classroom due to the smaller size student body. This is a fantastic environment for learning because each student gets the opportunity to ask the questions he or she needs to learn on a deeper level. Overall, professors at Warner Pacific are willing to take the time each student needs to grasp the material covered in the classroom and are even willing to meet outside of the classroom if necessary and this is greatly appreciated by the students on campus.

As a prospective student I would advise that you take the initiative to attend as many of the on campus events held for the purpose of connecting students because those events are designed to ease the sometimes difficult process of getting involved in a new community.

I would say that most classes are challenging and rewarding rather than overwhelming or unrealistic academically. Due to the smaller class sizes conversation seem to be more engaging and personal which creates a more fulfilling learning environment.

Although I never had the opportunity to live in the dorms at Warner Pacific, I have heard from many that dorm life is pretty good on campus. Some of the facilities are older, but they are well-kept and clean.

Our cafe offers a variety of food and I have heard many students like the food for the most part.

Warner Pacific is located near the Hawthorne area of Portland which provides plenty of activities to do for fun. There are $2 theaters, restaurants, coffee shops, hiking paths on Mt. Tabor, bike trails and many more.

Dining is fantastic around the school! There are so many options like the food carts on Hawthorne and other locations, Petite Provence, Jam, Slappy Cakes, and many others. Local coffee shops are countless. If you like food and great places to hang out or even do homework Warner Pacific College is located in a great part of Portland where everything is in a few blocks of the college.

We have a few great things going on around campus. Many of the activities on campus have become tradition like the paint war we have been doing for the last few years (using environmentally friendly paint and cleaning up all the balloons of course).

If you are a musician Warner Pacific College has a great program for you.

Business students have some great clubs on campus along with many others.

Warner Pacific is located right in the heart of SE Portland so there are the occasional safety problems, but security is always available and keeps our campus feeling safe.

Warner Pacific College students are friendly.
Warner Pacific College is easy to navigate.

Warner provides an active learning environment geared for adults who are currently in the workforce. The team centered learning program helps the student to develop interpersonal skills and maintain a team oriented mindset that can be used on the job. The essay driven homework assignments helps the student to develop a business and technical style writing that assists the student in their everyday work related communication to write with clarity, professionally and dynamically.

Come prepared and ready to focus on personal growth. Stay open minded. Time management is key. Remember to make learning fun.

Each course has 2-4 page essays that require APA formatting that is due each week. Late papers are at the discretion of the instruction. Lots of reading. Team presentations weekly for most courses, with a final presentation on the last day of class. This is a fast-paced learning program. Can only miss 1 class per course and still make the grade.

Make my team presentations fun. For example, my last team project was done in talk show style. Previously, one of my team projects was based on the show survivor and included an outside activity with the class that took a total of 30 minutes from start to finish.

You finish your degree in the same amount of time it would take you to go to regular college. You develop great relationships and connections along the way. Personal growth, each class teaches you something about you.

The Prayer Garden is an intricately made beautiful rock garden located near the C.C. Perry Gymnasium. This garden allows for prayer and time of meditation and peace.

Pacific Islanders Club, a club that learns and embraces the Pacific Island culture and tranditions.

I have had a lot of really interesting classes, professors, and experiences at Warner that have forced me to expand my way of thinking. They have a wide range of classes that have been great in supplementing my education.

I have never felt like just another student here. I have always had an identity, and the president knows just about everyone by name. It's beautiful campus is right off of Mt. Tabor, which offers a public tennis court, hiking, and a beautiful overlook of the city of Portland.

Warner has a wonderful financial aid department that is more than happy to help you find loans, scholarships, and anything to help you pay for your college. Also, there are MANY scholarships to apply for in the school. Warner tries their hardest to not make money an obstacle if you want to enroll.

Go to an admissions event! They have overnight stays twice a year, which give you a great view of student life at Warner. Apply early because that is when you get the most scholarship opportunities! Also, be in frequent contact with the admissions/financial aid. They will give you SO much help in your application process.

Anyone who wants to be held accountable for their education, anyone looking to impact lives on a deeper level, and anyone looking for some true, meaningful relationships. Also, anyone who wants a truly personal and unique college experience.

The adult degree program is great. It is very convenient and straight forward. You meet once a week for four hours, work in teams, and great for people who do not test well.

This program is great for adult students with busy lives.

Each class is set up identical to the previous class. This takes 'academic rigor' down a notch, because you already know what the teachers are expecting.

I have never been in the dorm, because I attend the adult degree program (but this is a required field).

Again this is a required field

It's a beautiful campus, with a great atmosphere for building relationships, learning, and having fun! The people are so welcoming of anyone new, and genuinely want to see you grow as a Christian. They staff and faculty are awesome!

Definitely check out the campus and get a tour!

If you go through the Christian ministries program, there is a LOT to do. But the professors are fair in grading and are willing to help out if you are struggling with something!

I don't have a meal plan so I don't eat the food in the cafeteria. But I've heard it's pretty good! They have a buffet style sort of all-you-can-eat bar, and there is also a mini cafe run by Warner students that anyone can buy from! Most of the students like to eat in the cafeteria whether they have the meal plan or not, just to hang out and be social!

Students who want to learn more about themselves and their relationship with Christ. People who are willing to be taken out of their comfort zone in both academics and personal relationships. People who are willing to try anything new!
