For over 100 years, Crown College has been preparing students for lives of outstanding service and leadership. Located just west of Minneapolis, MN, they offer traditional on-campus degree programs, 18 NCAA Division III athletic teams, internship opportunities, and summer outreach programs around the globe. They are also a leader in online education with nationally-recognized bachelor and master’s degree programs that can be completed 100% online with most courses just seven weeks long.

Since all of their programs integrate industry best practices with biblical principles, graduates of Crown College are prepared to succeed both professionally and personally. Crown has been recognized by U.S. News & World Report, MONEY Magazine, and Christian Universities Online. As previously reported in Homeschooling Teen, Crown College is homeschool-friendly.

Crown College recently launched a new resource for those interested in viewing the campus. The Room + Board mini-series shows what it feels like to go to Crown College through a narrative lens, while providing useful information for incoming freshman and parents. Each episode provides a virtual tour of different locations on and off campus, through unique stories and scenarios that many students face as they embark on their college journey.

The inspiration for the Crown College Room + Board mini-series came from a desire to share Crown’s campus through a storytelling format. Unlike any other school tour you’ve been on, this video series allows you to follow different characters as they invite you into their lives as Crown students. The goal was to showcase relatable scenarios happening all around Crown while simultaneously showing you different parts of campus and the surrounding area.

The entire cast and crew for Room + Board is made up of students, staff, faculty, and alumni. Not only that, but every episode was shot and edited utilizing equipment and production techniques associated with the college’s Communication degree program in Video and Film Production.
