What does this mean for you? Your best friend may come from China, your lab partner from Michigan, your roommate from Honduras. "We try to teach each other," explains Melissa Polinar, who was born in the Philippines. "How do you say, `Hello,' in Portuguese? `Good morning' in Swahili? There are all these people from different countries. That's what I really love about this school."
We're also health conscious. Exceptional vegetarian food, exercise, and having fun are a big part of SWAU student life. Enjoy global fusion cuisine with selections designed by our cafe's certified executive chef. Visit the Leiske-Pultar Gymnasium on campus to use a wide variety of exercise equipment and free weights. Spend an afternoon feeding the ducks at the pond, or play a game of tennis in the student park.

Student Missionaries
A student missionary's life is a challenging one, but it is also filled with adventure, spirit and a certainty that they are spreading the word of the Gospels. SWAU student missionaries have gained career and spiritual experiences in places like Mexico, Romania, the Dominican Republic, the Marshall Islands, India, Nepal, Ecuador and Peru. Interested?
