Concordia University

The occasion: All-​Alumni weekend celebrating 50 years of academic excellence.
I took part in the festivities on Saturday, a perfect Fall day for tours of the grounds and facilities. I learned that the school has a current student population of about 770, which allows it to provide for some truly personal instruction.
This past summer, a complete renovation of the Science building took place, allowing for new labs and a spacious theater-​style lecture hall.
The glorious Chapel of the Holy Trinity, with its huge and wonderful pipe organ, as well as stained glass windows throughout, is one of the most photographed structures in the Ann Arbor area.
This is certainly one of the most intimate university settings in Southeast Michigan. Warm and friendly, students and faculty function as one large family.

Our Toastmasters club meets here. The facilities are just what we need and the locations is great with free parking!

I’ve taken many classes here over the years. It’s a hard one to review because they have a very distinct market. Unfortunately, the people in admissions don’t always realize this. When I first applied, I was told that, «People from all religions and faiths could excel here.» Whoa. Only if they want to fight an uphill battle. I think it’s fine to offer an education strongly influenced by your school’s religious background, but tell the truth about it.
If that one representation were corrected, Concordia could have gotten five stars for being what it is. There are a lot of students who stay on campus, and a small amount that commute in from homes and apartments in Ann Arbor and the surrounding communities. Because the majority of students live on campus, study groups and the like may be scheduled at inconvenient times for those who commute in. Armed with this knowledge, a successful education can be gotten at Concordia.
