Lipscomb University student Yuan from China

“I really love the teaching style at Lipscomb. Our classes are really small – in some of my major classes we have only eight students. We sit in a classroom with moving chairs and tables, so we get to interact with each other, and the professor. It’s more like a discussion than a big class. In their eyes, we’re not just numbers, we are real human beings. They really care about our life, they care about what’s going on, they care about our frustrations, they care about our suggestions in class. They really want to help us to grow as a person.”
