A Thank You Letter To Missouri Baptist University

I would choose MBU again and again

A Thank You Letter To Missouri Baptist University
www.christianuniversitiesonline.org

Being a transfer student is hard. Coming into a school a year later than everyone else and not quite knowing the ropes yet. Much like being a freshman all over again. When I went to a community college I was so miserable. I refused to make friends, I went to class and went home. Coming to MBU was a huge transition for me but I wouldn't have had it any other way. I brag constantly that I am at a school that lets me play my sports get a great education, & grow closer to God.


1. Everyone is so welcoming

Walking across campus is such a cool thing, because almost everyone I pass will smile and ask how I'm doing. A majority of the time I don't even know these people, but they'll take time to smile and say hi to you. My RA always does events and invites us to hang out while she's on duty, or even eat breakfast and watch Disney movies. My RD opens up her apartment for her residents to bake cookies with her and her family. Smiling friendly faces really makes Missouri Baptist university feel like home.

2. There is something for EVERYONE

Don't think you won't come to MBU and not find your place. Whether you're here for athletics, music, or neither- there's a place for you. MBU has countless clubs to get yourself involved. Everyone on campus has an opportunity to make an impact on Missouri Baptist University for years to come.

3. There's always opportunities for on-campus activities


Many people come to MBU from far away and don't have the opportunities to go home on the weekends. Living on campus is great because 9 times out of 10, you'll see a flyer for events with free food (free food is the best food). One day I was walking to class and there was a huge blow-up obstacle course and no one questioned it, it just happened. At least once a week there's some activity on campus whether it be bible study, a hall event, or an event in the quad. There's always something to do and it's a great way to get out of your comfort zone and meet new people.

4. My professors know me and care about me


My classes are no larger than 30 people, meaning my professor has no problem learning everyone in their classes. All of my teachers know I'm very involved and make it a point to ask me how I'm doing in my sport. I have a teacher who talks to athletes about their sports. She may not know everything about every sport, but she listens and appreciates stories we have. Another teacher makes it a point to talk to my coach about how I'm doing in class. Teachers are your best resources and I'm glad mine care about not only how I'm doing in class, but how I'm doing outside of class.

I had many different choices for where I wanted to go to college, and I would choose Missouri Baptist University time and time again. I feel so at home with all that MBU has to offer for everyone. I am so glad Missouri Baptist University was in God's plan for me, because I have never been happier.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
