Covenant College is a 鈥渟mall, private Christian college鈥� located in Lookout Mountain, Georgia and officially affiliated with the Presbyterian Church. It鈥檚 an ideal college for a student looking for an 鈥渋ntegration of faith and learning鈥� with its liberal arts education and focus on Christian ideals, after all the school motto is, 鈥淚n All Things Christ Preeminent.鈥� Many students find the school 鈥渁cademically challenging,鈥� but that their professors are more than willing to help by 鈥渆xpressing genuine desire that their students do well.鈥� A minority of the students has had issues with their professors but, for the most part, they praise their professors calling them, 鈥渉ighly educated in their area of expertise鈥� and that they get to know everyone as 鈥渁 person, not just a student.鈥� Much of this is due to the 鈥減ersonal, small class size鈥� especially in the upper level courses. Students are able to use the school鈥檚 鈥渉elpful and easy-to-understand registration system,鈥� to sign up for classes.

Most students are drawn to the school because of its religious affiliation, but insist that 鈥渢here is not typical student鈥� at Covenant. A lot recognize that its fairly diverse and acknowledge its especially strong 鈥渉ipster culture鈥� and the 鈥渟trong athletic programs鈥� as prominent cultures within the school, but many say that there is no real division between the two and that the school 鈥渇osters community鈥� among everyone. The only issue is that while the school may be somewhat culturally diverse, it鈥檚 not quite as racially diverse with a few wishing it had a better 鈥渉andling of diversity awareness.鈥�

Since the school is located on a mountain in northwest Georgia, some of the students find that the campus is, 鈥渁 little isolated,鈥� but that the 鈥渃lose community of students and professors,鈥� really helps to combat any feelings of loneliness. The mountain does have its perks though, since most students tend find that it has a lot to offer with such activities as rock climbing, hiking and biking. There are no sororities or fraternities on campus, but Downtown Chattanooga is 鈥渁bout 20 minutes away鈥� so most tend to go there on weekends and 鈥済o to movies or walk by the river.鈥� They also 鈥渓ove indie music鈥� and are able to see a lot of 鈥渃oncerts and art shows鈥� in the city. Some students say that the administration on campus is getting better at 鈥渓istening to the opinions of students 鈥� but there is still plenty of room for improvement.鈥� While some have this complaint about the higher-ups, most rave about the Campus Activity Board and their 鈥渄ances, along with several other events鈥� throughout the year that help bring students together.
