"After attending a private university five hours from my home, I realized that I wanted to transfer to a school closer to Pittsburgh. And I still wanted the experience of a small, private, Lutheran-affiliated college. I found out about Thiel College online and requested information. I was surprised at how quickly the Admissions staff made the transition smooth and easy.

Once here, it was easy for me to get involved and meet other students. Thiel professors are personable and caring, and the size of classes enables faculty and students to communicate effectively. There are plenty of extra-curricular activities to choose from, and I quickly made friendships that will last a lifetime.

Now I'm ready to graduate - even after transferring, I was still able to complete a major and one minor in four years. Transferring to Thiel College was the best decision I made for my college career."
