VERGE - Calvin College

VERGE is a Calvin College publication for prospective students and parents produced three times a year by Calvin's admissions and financial aid office.

About VERGE

Verge – the edge, rim or margin; the brink. The point beyond which an act, state or condition is likely to start or happen—as in "on the verge."

The verge is a place where you're finally able to see everything that's in front of you. A place where you can say, "I can get there from here."

At Calvin, you'll find yourself on the verge of more than you can imagine. New ideas, unexpected opportunities, new territory in your life, your studies and your faith. From the verge, you'll catch a vision for how to live. And Calvin will take you there.

We'd like to introduce to some pretty cool people. They're doing some pretty great things, both at Calvin and beyond.

When you choose Calvin, you choose Grand Rapids, too. Thankfully, GR is the kind of place you won't mind spending four years, with more new restaurants, shops and events opening all the time!
