Home Schooled Students: You Won’t Get Lost In The Crowd

Real Choices, Real Flexibility

As a home schooled student, we know that you are used to personalized attention and expect an education that will help you achieve your goals and aspirations, with flexibility and plenty of choices.  Tiffin University’s students are part of a diverse population of “individuals,” who together form a vibrant community. You can rest assured that you won’t get lost in the crowd!  In fact, your experience as a home schooler will contribute a great deal to our academic and social vitality.

The TU Campus: A Welcoming Community

At TU, you’ll discover an exciting and attractive campus, where most of our incoming freshmen live.  We realize that each student has individual desires and needs, and we offer a number of housing arrangements. 

Beyond the classroom, our students enjoy a wide variety of extracurricular activities.  As a freshman at TU, you’ll have the opportunity to participate in athletics, the performing arts, intramurals and clubs. 

Making The Transition
