Going to college can be tough, with challenges like peer pressure, studies, and making sure you choose the right avenue of study. However, before you can even get there, you have to find the college itself to best suit your requirements.

With various kinds of colleges out there, many people are considering Christian colleges as their college of choice. But what are the benefits to choosing a Christian college? As one of the most prestigious universities in the country, Union University in Jackson, Tennessee, has some information to help:

Christian Values
One of the things that deter new applicants from signing up for college is the stories they hear about college from their friends, family, and/or coworkers. Tales of craziness and wild behavior are often enough to unsettle even the stoutest of hearts. Thankfully, Christian colleges like Union University, are founded and managed with a strong core of Christian beliefs.

With Union University, Christian values inform the management and learning. You’ll find students with the same like-minded beliefs that you have, with the same outlook on life as you, so there’s nothing you will have to fear from them, or the college.

Financial Reasons
Union has consistently ranked among schools identified as “America’s 100 Best College Buys.” This respected report is not a list of the 100 least expensive institutions, but the 100 best values when measuring quality per dollar invested. In other words, to be on this list, a college’s academic reputation must be above the national average and the cost below the national average. Clearly, Union University ranks among America’s best, and Union’s costs annually fall below the national average for private institutions.

The investment in a Christian college education can be significant. However, by prayer, planning and perseverance, you can attain this dream. You will make many investments during your lifetime, but few, if any, will produce greater returns than the one you’re about to make in your own education. At Union University, we’re prepared to help you find a way to get it done.

One hundred percent of incoming freshmen receive some form of financial aid or scholarship assistance.

Classes and Classmates
Separate to the founding beliefs is what you’re studying, and who you’re studying with. Joining us at Union University will increase your chances of studying with other students who share your beliefs. Meeting other Christians with similar beliefs will also help expand your mind and beliefs and strengthen your faith as you discuss your beliefs with other students.

Classes will be Christ-centered and based upon God’s word, rather than a secular worldview. This means that in studying, you will find yourself growing closer to God and stronger in your faith.

Accreditation
Many people fear that Christian colleges are not accredited, and as such their diplomas and degrees won’t be accepted in the modern job market. This is false. Christian colleges go through the same testing processes as public colleges and are all nationally accepted and accredited. As a bonus, Christian colleges help connect students and graduates with businesses that have similar Christian ethics, so finding a job in a Christian workplace will be that much easier.
