My experience with the admissions process was honestly one of the most positive I鈥檝e had. I felt guided every step of the way, and at no point did I feel overwhelmed or unsure about what came next. I鈥檝e never felt that level of support at another school, and it gave me a lot of confidence in choosing CBU. For someone considering enrolling, I would say just start. Taking that first step can feel intimidating, but it鈥檚 also what opens the door to everything that follows.
