Radio station, student activities board, choir “Oh my!”

Well there isn’t that pressure here in college but there are tons and TONS of things you can get involved in. Depending on what you enjoy you can get involved in so many different [...]

We actually have students from over 45 states and 30 different countries. That, plus the number of exchange programs and countries in which we have study abroad programs (40+) ranks [...]

Don’t Fear Finals Week!
I know a lot of people that seem to dread finals week. I hear horror stories from people who expect that they will have to pull all-nighters all week, not have time to sleep and barely eat, and study every spare second. Those expectations are completely unfounded. My Finals Week experiences so far have been [...]

Taking Time for Visitation
Alright, everybody. I’m gonna be even MORE honest with you than my in last post (not to say that my last post wasn’t honest, really, it was). Ever heard of visitation hours? No? Well, they’re basically periods of time during the week that guys can go on to girls’ floors and [...]

Home Away From Home
This summer has been my first summer that I did not live at home, instead I chose to live on campus and work for the Admissions office. Throughout my time here, especially this summer, I have realized that Messiah has become my home away from home.

Breaktime!
Fall Break in October is probably one of the most fun breaks that occurs during the school year. No holidays are happening, so there isn’t a lot of traffic if you decide to go home. But, I think the best part is that you can stay on campus for the whole thing. You can just [...]

This summer while working in the admissions office, I received the opportunity to see first-hand how the Messiah College admissions staff portrays Messiah to perspective students. Currently sitting at the half mark of my summer time here in the office, I took sometime to reflect on the tours I gave and what I tried to [...]

Don’t Panic
Alright, so I’m going to be totally honest with all you incoming first-years. In case you haven’t heard: there’s no first-year parking. *Dun-dun-duuuuunnnnnn* Unless, of course, you happen to live over 300 miles away or have an off-campus job or internship. Other than that, though, no dice. I know, I [...]

My Favorite Prof
I have had a number of professors that have stood out to me as outstanding professors and professors that I would definitely take a course from again. With this terrific experience, it’s difficult to just pick one out from the others, but one of my favorites is Dr. Scott Kieffer. I have taken two classes [...]

Engage to Learn
Beginning freshman year, i have been able to experience the classroom variety that comes with college. I have attended classes where no one spoke, and others where no one listened. But of all the classes I have taken so far, my favorite so far has been “Racial and Ethnic Politics”. Not only was the subject [...]
