From the Paper:

"In other respects as well, Crossroads makes an attractive fit with the university. Particularly in a church-affiliated institution, many students and their parents may prefer a more quiet, rural setting to the distractions of a metropolitan region. At the same time, Crossroads' strong international student presence offers a more diverse experience than would be found at an institution with a more homogenous student body. Many students might wish to attend Crossroads for their undergraduate work, or their first two years, then transferring to the larger university campus. The smaller size of Crossroads, and the teaching rather than research emphasis of its faculty, likewise offer an experience many students might prefer to the more impersonal conditions of a large university campus where lower-division students hardly come face to face with professors."
