6 January 2015 | Binfield, United Kingdom [Kirsty Watkins, tedNEWS] Students feel overwhelmingly positive about their experience at Newbold, the College’s annual Student Satisfaction Survey has found.
Administered during the Autumn Semester, the survey covered everything from the on-campus environment and spiritual atmosphere to admissions and finance services and food services with students representing all curriculum areas responding to the survey.
Over 90% of respondents agreed that Newbold is a Christian environment which upholds the mission and values of the Adventist Church, indicating that regardless where students fall on the liberal-conservative spectrum, or what their spiritual background is, that the difficult task of meeting their spiritual needs is mostly being achieved.
Pastor Alastair Agbaje, Chaplain and Dean of Men, said “It can be a challenge to meet the spiritual needs of such a diverse group, so I’m really pleased to hear that so many of our students are growing in their faith in Christ. I want to affirm our campus ministry team who have been phenomenal this semester with their creativity and drive to get people involved, and which I believe has had a direct impact on the spiritual temperature on campus.”
Outstandingly positive responses were recorded for the Library service and for the service provided for curriculum area academic and administrative staff, who respondents found to be friendly and helpful.
“I love Newbold and find everything that happens here a true blessing from the Lord,” said one respondent. “I am grateful to be able to learn in this amazing environment of spirituality lived in the real world. “
