Concordia University

After doing tours at many colleges in Indiana, Tennessee, Minnesota, Michigan and Iowa the college that won out was a little private school gem right in the heart of the twin cities. You could not ask for a better location for an active young person that enjoys a variety of activities. They have it all locally — Art, Theater, Music, Food, Shopping, Concerts, Sports… She was offered scholarships at several places D1 and D2 of varying amounts – we told her to pick based on her gut and don’t let the money sway you as we would make it work somehow also don’t get caught up in just the soccer as in the end it is about getting an education. I think she made a wise decision for herself as goal is accomplished… she came out with a degree and she had the opportunity to play college athletics all four years she was there. The student teacher ratio is approx 11 students to one teacher and you really get to know your professors and administration. You are NOT just a number here. The building is always clean and well laid out and easy to navigate. They have a brand new sports dome in the last several years called SeaFoam Stadium and it is very nice. I was never once concerned with her safety on or around this campus. This is a great school to look at if you wish to get your education in the Midwest.
