Student’s perspective
I always loved the enjoyable experience of SYU and the opportunity to study in a Christian institution. SYU is truly blessed to have amazing professors and staff. They are able to engage in the lives of students inside and outside the school. I do really like how transparent and welcoming the lessons were. I was pleased to know that in their curriculum they genuinely cared for my growth. My mentors have often encouraged me to become more confident in my faith by having regular discussions and in leading me by their own example. As I was approaching my graduation in just a few months, I was overwhelmed by the thought of how much influence this school has had on my life, and I’m very grateful for what SYU means to me.
