Student quotes

Coby Bracken ‘23

I will never forget my first tour at Messiah where my tour guide showed me the amazing community and opportunities that Messiah has to offer and ever since then I always knew that I wanted to be able to do the same for future students. The tour is what really sold me for the school and I even came back to visit campus 3 times in the next 2 months!

Sarah Davis ‘22

From the moment I got to campus to the moment I left, I could not stop smiling; something just felt right. Every person I met was beyond helpful, warm, and welcoming. I felt like I had known everyone for years. I could see faith was actually lived out on campus.

Katie Linn ‘23

When I first stepped on campus, I was immediately greeted by enthusiastic and excited faces. The difference between the campus visit at Messiah College and some of the other campuses I visited was amazing. I immediately felt welcomed on to the campus and knew that I wanted to come to Messiah right away.
