Why Concordia?

To me, Concordia is a very special place.  I cherish the opportunities I have to work with the students who decide Concordia is the place for them.

Our students choose Concordia because they want to have an intimate collegiate experience with small class sizes, direct connections with their professors, advisors, and mentors, and the opportunity to create lifelong friendships with their fellow students.  Additionally, our students sure love to take a train into Manhattan, which is only 30 minutes away, for internships, sightseeing, and other types of fun!

Advice for prospective students:

A few statements....

Breathe... Take your time... Get all the facts... Know your Admission Counselor...  The college selection process should be an engaging and fun process.  Don't rush it!  Concerning the SAT/ACT: Don't let three hours dictate your next four years.  A college will admit you because of "you", not a number.

My favorite thing about Bronxville:

Park Place Bagels... And I love taking my family to the movie theater in Bronxville.  It has an "Americana" feel to it.
