Community Life

Transcript

Let’s meet Ellie, an EU resident assistant who has participated in just about every Evangel activity you can imagine: Residents life events, campus organization activities, and exciting excursions in Springfield and the surrounding areas provide Evangel students with many exciting opportunities to build relationships. Thank you for being here, Ellie. You’re on.

– Thanks Alex. In high school, I was certain I wanted to attend a nearby state university, but one visit to Evangel showed me that this is a place like no other. And I knew that I couldn’t pass up a college experience like this. I had an overnight visit to Evangel for a scholarship weekend and I saw the campus come alive. Four years later, I still have friends that I gained on that weekend. My favorite part about being a student at Evangel is easily the community life. On campus, we have floor events, Bible studies, movie nights, and homework sessions. In fact, it’s more than just a place to live. At Evangel, we experience life together. Evangel’s more intimate size has allowed me to be very involved. Through the years I’ve been involved on my floor and in my hall serving on event planning teams and as the hall senator in the student government, even my major has its own club. Evangel really invests in the individual student and the school makes the student experience a priority. There are tons of new projects in the works as we speak. Off campus Springfield, Missouri is a beautiful town with lots of great hangout spots. One of our favorite activities is to visit one of the many coffee shops around the city. Springfield is a small business hub with lots of great local restaurants, activities, museums, and live performance venues. There are also parks, hiking trails, and rivers and Kansas city in St. Louis are only three hours away. When I took the step of faith to come here, I had no idea that I would meet my best friends and make memories that will last me a lifetime. That’s why I love Evangel. Thanks for letting me tell you about it. Back to you, Alex.

– Awesome to hear from you, Ellie. From a vibrant downtown culture to beautiful nature options, Springfield offers countless ways to make unforgettable memories. Thanks again. Take care.
