Favorite Verse: Psalms 34:12-18 "The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them;
he delivers them from all their troubles.
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted
and saves those who are crushed in spirit."

Favorite Aspect of APU: The community is by far my favorite aspect of APU! This campus has some of the most welcoming and warm people I have ever met, and it isn't just the students, it is the faculty and staff as well. People go out of their way to make genuine connections with the people they meet and are always willing to lend a helping hand. The spirit of the Lord is bright in the people here as well, so you won't just be making fun friends, you'll bond as brothers and sisters in Christ!

Advice for Incoming Students: Get involved on campus! I know that is a daunting task, especially when you're new to the school, but I promise you it is worth it. I too had to make that leap out of my comfort zone, and I have not regretted it for a minute. APU has a lot to offer, I'm certain that no matter your interests or skills, there is a club, department, or something that you'll fit right into!
