Here’s what some of our students say about the Bluffton experience:
- “The campus community is my favorite part of Bluffton. It felt like home the first day I set foot on campus. A good friend and a good time are only a short walk away, and I wouldn’t give that up for the world.”
—LeeAnne Sipe, Jeromeville, Ohio - “Bluffton has allowed me to grow in my faith, consider issues about peace, and what it means to love one’s neighbors.”
—Andrew Bixel, Pandora, Ohio - “I went to Northern Ireland for the cross-cultural program. The first nine weeks we had classes; the last five weeks was the internship. I trained in mediation; my minor is peace and conflict studies.”
—Dustin Miller, Sugarcreek, Ohio
