Why AU? Apart from the many connections I have with this institution (my mother's undergraduate alma-mater, my father's seminary alma-mater, my older sisters' enrollments, Church of God, etc. ), I always loved the nature of this community—promoting the pursuits of intellectual, personal, and spiritual matters. The academics are challenging and engaging, the student life is active and life-giving and the institution's dedication to faith is genuine and apparent. I was excited about the many opportunities to get involved, particularly in music, service and travel. I appreciated the small yet intentional nature of the classroom.
