Why would I want to go to a private college instead of a larger university or community college?

It all boils down to value. You can certainly get a good education regardless of the size of the college you attend. The teachers at a private college are usually going to be able to offer you more personal attention, however, because they are working with fewer students. They can meet you where you are and help you get where you want to go with your education. And, at a private college like Sterling, you have the added benefit of learning among students and from teachers who share your desire to serve Christ and grow in your faith.
