"Stratford House, for me, was a great place to live where I could grow along side others, but also individually on my own, just as a person & also in my faith. What attracted me most to the house was the fact that all the meals were "homemade", or cooked by the residents; I was really excited to learn and develop my cooking abilities & skills. Realistically when living in a big house full of 28 other girls, it's quite possible to feel lonely despite everyone around; but, with all those people around it makes it easy to reach out and find at least one person with whom to relate & share life & find a friend." -Madelyn Allen, Stratford 2017-2021
"As a now military wife, I recognize how difficult it can be to arrive in a new place & have to start from scratch finding your people. Stratford House was a blessing in so many ways, but particularly in that it immediately introduced me to a group of amazing women that quickly became my family. A decade later, I still keep in contact with many of my sisters despite the thousands of miles between us. During my years in the house, I also learned important life skills that many completely lack when entering the "real" world such as meal planning, cooking, home repairs, cleaning tricks, etc. -Liz (Ritzke) Wetstein, Stratford 2004-2007
"Stratford has definitely been the best part of my college experience so far. It has been like a second family & a second home to me & has made my transition in my first year so much easier. The girls are super loving & kind & have helped me grow in my walk with Christ. You can rightly consider Stratford as your new home; we'd love to have you! -Mady Ford, Stratford 2017-2021
"Stratford really is a home for me. I have found life-giving friendships that are filled with encouragement, honesty, & challenging conversations. There are sweet memories made every day living in Stratford because you are constantly surrounded by your favorite people. It is beautiful to do life with people who genuinely care about each other, pursue Christ, & who have fun through each moment! -Hannah Gaffner, Stratford 2017-2021
"Stratford is a place where I made so many new sisters & even met my best friends. I could not imagine my college experience without this house. Being surrounded by people who love God & are on the same path makes all the difference in college. -Acacia Hernandez, Stratford 2017-2021
