We at Calvin are known for being intentional and reflective about most everything. That's why I loved my experience there so much. And if you're serious about transferring (and maybe more so for others who might read your site), please know that as a poor, first-generation college student, it was actually CHEAPER for me to go to Calvin than for most of my friends to go to regular state schools. The combination of Calvin being less pricy than most privates, of Calvin offering more scholarships than the state schools, and of the government offering me aid based on need made Calvin an AFFORDABLE as well as a PERFECT fit for me. I'll be done paying off loans in just a couple years after graduating. So, for anyone looking for an excellent and affordable school as well as a place where Christianity so does not mean getting divided over rules, please consider Calvin College.

It is SOOO nice to hear that we have made such a great impact at Calvin. Thank you so much for being a part of the true Christian welcome we felt there. As I said in my post, I absolutely loved Calvin and if I had the money to go to a private school, Calvin would be at the top of my list of choices!
