    Never will you be bored here, unless it is by choice. Students and faculty are constantly organizing both fun and educational opportunities for you to enjoy. However, if you prefer solitude, there are plenty of places to chill and do homework or contemplate life.

    I love being here! It has truly been a blessing. I have met lots of wonderful people and have had many once in a life time opportunities; for example meeting Joe Greene! I have gained wonderful experience being a student athletic trainer and at most schools you usually do not receive that kind of experience until your later years of college. ACU and Abilene are good, well rounded atmospheres and is a good college town to be apart of.

    I love being at ACU. The professors are extremely invested in your career and education. The ACU community is amazing, everyone is so willing to make you feel welcome and at home even though everyone comes from different places and backgrounds.
