For Parents, From Parents
Even after seeing the facts on paper, we know what it’s like to be a protective parent. We know you want to hear from other parents who have been in your shoes, discerning where to send their student to college with a good conscience.
Cory Boruvka, the parent of a Grace student, lives four hours away but feels at ease with sending his son to a school far from home.
“When I was in college in the late ‘90s, I went to a large public university,” said Boruvka. “Drinking and partying were rampant across campus and the city. That led to uneasiness and insecurity for many students, particularly after dark,” said Boruvka.
After college, Boruvka moved to a safe community and longed to send his child to a place that felt like home.
“When we first visited Grace College, I was instantly attracted to the environment on and around campus,” said Boruvka. “It reminded me of the friendly culture at home.”
Boruvka has also appreciated the safety of Winona Lake.
“Since our son has been a student at Grace for the past couple of years, we’ve spent lots of time on and around campus,” he said. “We’ve done everything from wandering through the Christmas light display in the village, to participating in night hikes through the woods, to sitting around a bonfire in the evening. I’ve always felt 100% safe, and this assures me that the students are in good hands.”
College safety should be taken seriously by campus security, local law enforcement, students, staff, and parents. We do everything we can to ensure Grace College and Winona Lake provide a safe, secure, and comfortable setting for all.
