Unfortunately, there is no excuse to be late to class at Pfeiffer since dorms are within a minute’s walk of any of the classrooms. Professors are friendly and welcoming and also express great enthusiasm for their area of expertise. At Pfeiffer you will probably develop a good relationship with the administration since the president and vice president are known to go out of their way to get to know students.

Changes have made the school even better than ever; new science and lab buildings, a cafeteria, and upperclassmen dorms provide great opportunities for incoming students.
