MJ '24
I knew I wanted to come to a Christian college that had Environmental Science, so I Googled that and there are like five in the country. That really narrowed it down for me! Then I came and toured Montreat and, like Landon said, it’s gorgeous outside. I don’t know how you can not want to study here if you’re going to study the environment.
