I talk with my college friends back home in Florida, and they can’t believe all the exciting things happening here on campus. From the fun and craziness of dorm activities to the positive influence on our spiritual lives, the residence life staff is always there setting a Christlike example for the students to follow. Simply stated, it’s how a college residence life should be. ” Michael Batts ’12, Accounting, Winter Park, Florida Residence life, campus activities, and leadership organizations are designed to foster men and women of character. Your investment supports an important time of growth and development in our students’ lives. ““ When I came to Cedarville as an only child, I was nervous about having a roommate and living with other girls in the hall. I quickly found out that I didn’t have anything to be nervous about. They’re some of the sweetest girls I’ve ever met! It has truly been a joy getting to know them. They are always here for me, whether I need to get my mind off my studies, vent about everyday frustrations, or just have fun! Not only have they helped me grow socially, but they have also influenced my spiritual life. I remember one day that was particularly rough, and it was great to be able to talk to my friend about those challenges. Another night we listened to Fall Bible Conference sermons while doing our homework. These girls are no longer just my friends, but my sisters. ” Andrea Davis ’12, Early Childhood Education, Odenton, Maryland First-Place Rankings Among Christian Universities Cedarville University has long held a reputation for academic excellence, biblical education, and Christ-centered campus life.
