    Self motivated individuals will exceed here. You must be able to work under stress (this isn't a free ride). You will be in the middle of nowhere so being able to deal with that would be a big plus (there is a Walmart some 10 miles away, though). As for intended majors, Campbell offers plenty of different subject areas. Campbell is the number 1 law school in NC (so I've heard... but they're moving to Raliegh). Pre-Pharm students are abundant here as well.
    Tips for prospective students

    Don't waste your money if you're comming here to squander your time (I can name some other colleges for that). Always take advantage of the open library (especialy when your finals come), buy your books early (finding them online instead of Campbell's bookstore will save you money, particularly when you return them to the bookstore), always use the gym at least twice a week (its free!), and most importantly, use the camel bucks towards the end of the semester (if you come to Campbell, you'll know what I mean).
    Bang for the buck

    Campbell is EXPENSIVE to the financialy average family. However, the education is up to par, the food is decent (though you'll get sick of Marshbanks), there are plenty of recreational fields (for those with an athletic spark), and the scenery is very pleseant (especialy in the snow... which isn't to often).
    Am enjoying being here

    Campbell is situated in a quiet area inbetween two small towns. I enjoy a serene atmosphere and if I want to do something, I can just pick a town to go to.
    Am learning a lot

    There is a whole lot of nothing to do around Buies Creek, so learning is the next best thing... :)

    Students who have a hard time focusing won't have an issue here cause there are not too many distractions. People who are looking for a small school with a lot of friendly people with a great sense of southern hospitality.
    Tips for prospective students

    Campbell is a very good school. It is in the country but the people are very nice and you can find something to do if you want. The law, business and pharmacy programs are very prominent but everyone is included and no one feels left out. The school spirit is great and everyone is very helpful.

    Campbell University is great for all different kinds of students. I'm a science major, and the science departments at Campbell are great. The business, law, and educations majors don't feel left out either. Campbell is great for well-rounded education seeking students.
    Tips for prospective students

    Campbell University is a great four-year private institution. It has five different graduate schools, including Divinity, Pharmacy, Education, Business, and Law. I have found my home as Campbell University for the next four years, I absolutely recommend the school. It's amazing.

    This school is great for any student looking for a very straight edge student body. You see girls walking around in nice outfits, while guys are sporting the polos and kakis. So if you are looking for a school with a dry campus, don't mind learning/ building a relationship with God, and looking for a vigorous course load, love the warm weather, and want to be surrounded by friendly people, come here! And this school is a Baptist school, but I am Roman Catholic and many people are also other religions/ or are Atheist. They don't push this Baptist faith on anyone so don't worry!
    Tips for prospective students

    Be a good well rounded student. This school is getting bigger and better. It is a good school now but with the Physician Assistant major available starting the 2010-2011 academic year-this school will be getting more prestigious and harder to get in over the next upcoming years. Also I was reading this on the Campbell website that after each student took this National Survey of Student Engagement- more than 92% said their college experience was excellent or good!
    Bang for the buck

    The school is a little over 30,000 but the school is very generous with scholarships. If you have over a 3.0 in H.S or college (if your a transfer) coursework you are most likely guaranteed a Scott-Elis or Presidential Scholarship. (Usually ranging between $6,000-12,000-my scholarship was 8,500 with a 3.18 college GPA.)
    Am enjoying being here

    This school has so much to offer! And it's a great that it is a private school! (They have a lot of $!!!) They have trips offered to students all the time- trips to Hawaii, Georgia, Florida, NFL Panther games, etc. Also I love the fact this school is Division 1 with a football team, makes campus life more knit and it's very enjoyable to cheer on the Fighting Camels!
    Am learning a lot

    The classes here are very challenging. I transferred here from another school and I finally know I am getting my money's worth. Professors are very nice and assessable with small classroom sizes. Graduating from Campbell University I will know and feel that I worked hard for my degree and will be able to excel in graduate studies. If you are looking into Campbell and looking for a school just to get by in I wouldn't suggest you coming here.

    Campbell is great for students who like that small school feel. Also, if you like to attend sporting events, if you live on campus then you go to any of the home games for free, which is awesome. Campbell is for the students who like to be sociable, because here you will see the same people well over a few times a semester.
    Tips for prospective students

    Make sure you go to your classes. Campbell is strict on their attendance policy, and they have failed students for not showing up.
    Bang for the buck

    Yea the school demands a little bit more than other colleges, but it is a private school. Also it is a great school, well worth the money.
    Am enjoying being here

    Campbell may feel like there is nothing to do, but I always have stuff that needs to be done. Then I always find something exciting going on at the campus.

    Campbell is number one in pharmacy and has a great law school. hoped this review helped you make a decision
    Tips for prospective students

    New students will now have a freshman seminar starting 2011-2012 school year. They'll have guest speakers consisting of faculty and current students. They'll learn things about Campbell that us current students had to experience first since no one told us.
    Bang for the buck

    Yes this university does cost some serious dough but it is a private school. So make sure you have the money
    Am enjoying being here

    I come from a same town as well so being out in the middle of no where isn't bad. It is however between two cities, to the North is Raleigh and to the south is Fayetteville both about 45 minutes away. It's a very friendly environment.
    Am learning a lot

    I've learned a lot from my professors here at Campbell. Depending on your major you'll be very close with your professor or just casual friends, either way you won 't be a number here.

    Tips for prospective students

    Campbell is very EXPENSIVE but, the education is great! This is a great school to go to and it will definitely look good to future employers. We have nice scenery and it is a great Christian environment. Class sizes aren't overwhelming and the food is decent but you will get tired of it quickly.
    Bang for the buck

    Though you are getting a great, quality education sometimes one may wonder where their money is going. For example, we have mediocre dorms for the price of them (except for the New Residence Hall which is fairly new and very nice).
    Am enjoying being here

    I am enjoying the Campbell experience and it is what you make it out here. It's not much to do off close-by campus so you will have to find a way to occupy your time or join the many clubs we have on campus when you have down time.

    The school has a Christianity background and focuses on the importance of school and hard work so its not for the unmotivated or uncaring. Small student body, but not too small where you get tired of seeing the same people everywhere. Enough to keep you occupied here when you have free time.
    Tips for prospective students

    Be ready to study, learn and have a good time. College is a once in a lifetime experience and Campbell is a great place to have it. Be sure to get involved in activities and all the events Campbell holds for its students. Just about every week there is something going on, mostly started up by CAB, so be on the look out.
    Bang for the buck

    Campbell is an expensive school but there is a lot of scholarships and grants you can find. Campbell has a good Endowment program which is basically free money they give away so that helps. The quality of education and campus are great when compared to what you pay. You get what you pay for and you are getting top quality at Campbell.
    Am enjoying being here

    Buies Creek itself is not the most populated or attractive place, but it is what you make of it. Campbell University itself has plenty of activities on weekdays and weekends to keep you busy if you aren't studying. It is also close to Raleigh and Durham so bigger cities are close. The people and opportunities at Campbell have made my time enjoyable.
    Am learning a lot

    The class sizes are small compared to other universities and this allows teachers to be more personal with students. The classroom atmosphere is great for students and you can tell the teacher cares that the students actually learn the material. The professors know what they are talking about and are always willing to help you during or out of class.

    I would recommend Campbell primarily to people who are interested in PGM, Exercise Science, Pharmacy, and Law. We have really big programs for all of those here, and you will definitely be taught what you need to know. Being involved in the science department, I can speak for the Pre Pharm curriculum and say that it is just what I needed to help prepare me for Pharmacy School!
    Tips for prospective students

    Get involved! Make as many friends as possible at scholarship competitions, orientations, and activities in the first semester. The friends you have really are a big factor in what kind of experience you're going to have. Campus Activities Board has a club for just about everything so it's easy to get plugged in to something early on in the year. Club and intramural sports and any of the campus ministry groups are also really popular ways on campus to meet new people.
    Bang for the buck

    Without scholarships, Campbell can be pretty expensive but it is definitely worth it. I have learned so much and wouldn't trade schools for anything. The small campus is easily accessible from just about anywhere, which is something that really makes it stand out for me because you won't find that at a larger school.
    Am enjoying being here

    To be honest, college was hard to adjust to at first, but after I became acclimated to the college scene and the campus, I really started to like Campbell. The second semester is way better than the first, but I have had an awesome first year overall.
    Am learning a lot

    To keep good grades, you're going to have to do a lot of studying, but it's worth it. I have learned so much while I've been at Campbell, and the teachers I had were awesome. They've really made me want to pursue my major by making it interesting.

    Campbell University has a fantastic PGM program (so I hear). If you're interested in golf management then you're probably already on your way. We've also got one of the best pharmacy schools and law schools. Basically, if you're trying to make a lot of money one day, Campbell is here to help!
    Tips for prospective students

    Get involved with the clubs. I have made so many friends by doing that. College is all about finding yourself, so you definitely need to get involved. No matter where you go!
    Bang for the buck

    Campbell is a little pricy but that's what you get when you go to a private school. Scholarships are great and they offer a ton of money, you just have to find it. I'd say it's worth it though.
    Am enjoying being here

    I love the atmosphere here. If you think you might enjoy a smaller campus, this is the school for you. It is so easy to get to know people; everyone is nice. Your friend group will be gigantic but you will have a close relationship with each person. It's great!
    Am learning a lot

    Definitely learning a lot. There are a lot of prerequisite classes you have to take at Campbell, but that's going to pay off in the long run. It'd be nice to be able to get into my major sooner, but the extra classes aren't too bad.

    I am truly looking forward to attending Campbell in the fall. They have so much to offer. The campus is beautiful and renovations are still being made. The administrators that I have met were very kind and you really do get the feeling that you matter. My favorite thing was that the campus was small and that it was a christian-based school. It is just a wonderful place to be!

    Someone who likes small classes, personal time with professors and a small community where almost everyone knows everyone. Even though this college is classified as a Baptist private college that is not all that it offers. So even if people aren't religious this is still a great college.
    Tips for prospective students

    Do not get so bogged down in studies that you do immerse yourself in Campbell culture. Join the clubs, go to the sporting events or the fine arts events.
    Bang for the buck

    People see the tuition cost for Campbell and think, do I really want to pay all this when a public school is cheaper? Campbell actually gives out a lot of scholarships. Your initial scholarship package is just the beginning there are endowment scholarships that are given out ever so often. The teachers are great and so are the facilities. Campbell is always renovating!
    Am enjoying being here

    There are many ways to get involved on campus. Campbell tries to keep their students busy so that they do not get in trouble with such things as alcohol. As for what to do around Campbell there is not much. There are a couple of parks to go to during the spring time(Raven Rock is great).
    Am learning a lot

    The professors here actually know how to teach to learn not just to teach to a test. A big plus is they know who you are which is really important when it comes to your grades. If you show interest in getting great grades any professor will help you. The tutors at the school are not too bad either.

    Campbell is a private school, so it is more expensive than public universities. However, no price can be put on my education and my experience that I have had at Campbell. Most of the dorms have been remodeled, a lot of the campus is growing, the cafeteria food is decent, and everyone is welcoming. I'd say I am definitely satisfied with my decision to be at Campbell.
    Am enjoying being here

    Campbell feels like home away from home. I feel welcomed everywhere, and the people are fantastic. Although it is far away from the big city, it really helps when it's time to hit the books! Raleigh is about 45 minutes away, so when I need a break from studying, getting away isn't too difficult.
    Am learning a lot

    I am learning more at Campbell University than I have throughout my entire education. The professors are very resourceful, and they know how to make the students understand the material.

    CU is great for anybody wanting to feel Southern hospitality or just wanting to get away from it all. It's kind of in the country and you have to travel a bit to find certain types of entertainment but CU offers many different things for students to do. Clubs, movies, concerts, lectures....there's a little bit of something for everyone!
    Bang for the buck

    CU is pretty expensive but the educational opportunities and the feeling of the campus makes it worthy.

    There isn't a whole lot to do, so if you're a party-goer, this isn't the school for you. If you are a devoted student, come to Campbell. Students who love the color orange are always welcome.
    Tips for prospective students

    Don't speed, because the cops around Buies Creek love giving tickets to college students. Especially don't speed in Angier (which is just down the road). Get your acceptance early and get in your housing form so you can get the best pick of dorms. (Hint for the guys: Murray has very sensitive fire alarms.)
    Bang for the buck

    Yes, it's expensive, but that's what scholarships are for. Plenty of free t-shirts to go around along with exam week breakfasts and shuttles to Walmart during move-in. The top-notch classrooms and sporting facilities definitely make it worth the money!
    Am enjoying being here

    Campbell has a cozy atmosphere. I feel like I see the same people all of the time, making it a very close-knit community. The Campus Activities Board always has fun events planned, and sporting events are always great to go to as well.
    Am learning a lot

    The professors are great at Campbell. There are no student assistants teaching the classes, which means that only those with degrees are teaching the materials. With the lack of fun stuff to do really near campus, there is always time for studying, which is the whole reason for going to school right?

    Food and Dining

    The food at school is okay. It all depends on where you go on campus. If a person goes to the Oasis, they are sure to get great food. If a person goes to Marshbanks...well they better be picky.
    Dorm Life

    Dorm life for me this year was amazing! Of course this year I was extremly lucky. As the first class of students able to be in the New Residence Hall for a full year, I have had a great time. Making dorm friends, hanging out in the lobby, and struggling with laundry are all memories I have made this year.
    Academic Rigor

    I took quite a bit of AP classes in high school so I don't necessarily think the work at Campbell has been too rigorous. I know for a fact though, from the other students that many teachers are extremly rigorous. As usual though I believe a rigorous course load depends on each student, their particular semester, their year in college, and the professors that they have.
    In three sentences

    Campbell has a great atmosphere which can help foster students as they learn who they want to be in life. The teachers along with the rest of the staff are all very helpful, and the overall hospitality seen on campus is just the type of environment a person can become who they are in. I know that I will have a great education on campus as my Freshmen year has been full of great memories.

    Campus Safety

    There is always security around even late at night, Campbell University is always secured. Not only is security on point but every resident hall or lobby requires an updated id to ensures no one that does not belong can get into the buildings.
    Clubs and Activities

    Campbell has plenty activities to chose from. There is free zumba and other exercising classes along with plenty of group bible study groups that meet. There is always some activity not only hosted by the school but by personal dorms for the people living in them.
    Food and Dining

    The food in the the dining halls have their good days and then the food becomes repetitive after awhile. The breakfast food is always good for people who do not mind getting up in the morning. The great thing about Campbell is that you do not have to rely on just the dining halls but there are plenty of other campus restaurants like Papa Johns, Chic fil a, Jole Mole, and plenty others to chose from.
    Dorm Life

    Living in a dorm takes some time to get used to especially if you are not used to sharing a bathroom with 4 to 8 or even a whole hall of people. The good thing about living in dorms is the usually are cozy enough for roommates to have their own space and personal belongings. There are better dorms than others but each have something unique about them that makes living in a dorm a good memory and preparing you to deal with all kinds of different people.
    Academic Rigor

    The academics at Campbell University can become rigorous if you do not take the time to study and put in effort in your classes. Campbell offers many tools to ensure the student is successful in the classroom. Things like the writing center that allows students to receive editing on papers and tutoring services in tough courses ensure students can not only pass their classes but receive a good grade.
    Tips for prospective students

    Campbell is a good choice for students who would like to be in a relatively small environment without many distractions. The courses here at Campbell are above excellence and many students leave with jobs offers right after graduation.

    Campus Safety

    If there is ever a problem, campus safety is only a phone call or a yell away. Campus safety rides golf carts around campus in order to get to any disturbances on campus quickly.
    Clubs and Activities

    We have a plethora of clubs on campus. We have a street fair at the beginning of the year which showcases them all. Tents are crammed on the walkway with people showcasing their club.
    Great for these types of students

    Students wanting a close knit community feel on their campus. Ones that know how to have fun when there are not any events going on on campus.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    We have an annual Easter egg hunt where the golden eggs can get you a flat screen TV. The Alan Brown Challenge is a great relay race that involves many activities other than running.
    Bang for the buck

    Depending on your major, Campbell is a great deal. This applies for everyone planning on going into a graduate program at Campbell. Otherwise, you are getting a very expensive business or education degree.
    What to do for fun

    I mostly play sports. We have a ton of club sports and intramural sports that are very competitive. Otherwise you can go to the sporting, CAB, or club events. Also there are some parties that you can go to if you can find out where they are being held.
    Food and Dining

    There are many places to eat on campus. With your meal plan, you get a certain amount of meals and camel bucks. Camel bucks can be used at Papa Johns, Quiznos, the Burger Studio, and Chick fa la on campus. Marshbanks and Shouse use the meals off of the meal plan.
    Dorm Life

    Depending on the dorm, you will have a different dorm life. I was in a suite style dorm which held eight people. There were two per room and one bathroom. The only problem occurred when some suite mates were not as cleanly as they should be.
    Academic Rigor

    This depends on your major. I am a pharmacy major, and my classes tend to give many people a hard time. Honestly, I have only found one class hard in my two semesters, but most of my friends have found multiple classes giving them major difficulty.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you are looking for a school in a big city with a lot of parties, this is not the college for you. There are parties and things to do around campus, but Campbell is not located in a big city where you can do anything. I would highly suggest this school for people considering entering their graduate programs. However, if you are getting a regular business degree or something of that nature, this college can give that to you, but for a whole lot more money than other colleges.
    In three sentences

    Campbell University is a great college for students trying to find a close knit community with small class sizes. The teachers are very in tune with their students and get information across quickly and accurately. Overall, this school is fantastic.

    There are always security guards creeping around so you are perfectly safe to walk around at night. I did get my bike stolen over Christmas break, so maybe if you bring one you should take it home over long breaks like that though.

    None.
    Clubs and Activities

    The clubs are mostly academic, but we do have fun things like Zumba, Martial Arts, Yoga, etc. The Campus Activities Board tries really hard to have fun activities, and it's getting better, but could use some improvement.

    Campbell LOVES fountains....every once in a while kids will put soap in the fountain causing it to bubble up.
    Bang for the buck

    The prestige of a degree from Campbell is definitely worth it. If you are going for Pharmacy or Law, this is an exceptional school. I'm an education major, however. After your first year, you will probably want to transfer, but if you stick around long enough to move off campus it will be worth it. After visiting friends from other schools, I can certainly say that our buildings, dorms, and dining halls are much nicer (although the food is somewhat lacking).
    What to do for fun

    There is a bowling alley about 10 minutes away. Sometimes we have on campus events, such as the dances, concerts, etc. Fayetteville is kind of sketchy but there is some stuff to do there. I prefer to go to Garner/Raleigh/Apex area which are all about 45 minutes away. Skating, Movies, Shopping, Restaurants, Etc. Fuquay Varina is only 25 minutes away and has some restaurants and small downtown shops.
    Food and Dining

    Shouse dining hall is a lot better than Marshbanks, but the latter is usually okay. Chickfila, Quizno's, and the Oasis are definitely the best, but require Camel Bucks instead of Meal Plan. We do have a Starbucks though! My biggest complaint is simply that Marshbanks closes too early.
    Dorm Life

    As I said, there is not much to do. Living with someone else is extremely difficult if you're not used to it. Try to meet the people in your suite or on your hall and participate in the RA's activities. I would have enjoyed my freshman year much better if I had done that.
    Academic Rigor

    Depending on your professor, the classes can be pretty hard. As long as you do what is required though, you'll pass.
    Tips for prospective students

    I would recommend that if you don't plan on going home for the weekends, that you have your car on campus. Also, it's helpful if you bring movies, games, etc. for when you get bored. The food is not so great. More Camel Bucks is far better than more Meal Plans.
    In three sentences

    Campbell really is in the middle of nowhere, so this can be both a good and a bad thing. You have to drive about 45 minutes to go do stuff, but you do get to know your professors and classmates very well. The best way to get the most out of Campbell is truly to become involved in an organization and try to make friends.

    If you are into volunteering, and serving others it's a perfect fit. However you must be okay with everyone knowing you because it is so small, and the school is a good distance from Wal Mart store.
    Bang for the buck

    Campbell is expensive, but you get a quality education that will effect the rest of your carrier. Campbell's main focus in making successful students, and the professors are the one's who teach the class, not assistants (that teach in public college).
    What to do for fun

    Campbell is huge into volunteering, which is always fun when you do it with a group of friends. There are many clubs and inter mural sports on campus. Attending sports games are especially fun since school spirit can be astronomical. However some of the greatest fun are the guest speakers or bands that come, like One Republic that came last year.
    Food and Dining

    There is a Chick-Fil-A and a Starbucks on campus, which adds a nice touch. There are two dinning halls, that aren't huge but they still have good food, and there is a vegetarian menu at one of the dining halls
    Dorm Life

    Campbell has many options for dorms. They have the traditional dorms with two bathrooms for every hall, dorms with a bathroom between each room, and suite style dorms with five rooms a bathroom and a living room to each suite. I know that the dorms are strict on allowing the opposite sex into the rooms (not the lobbies).
    Academic Rigor

    Since I haven't started any classes, I can't be 100% sure of the academic rigor, but I know the professors push students to do there best. A former student also told me Campbell is easy to get into, but it is difficult to graduate from because of how challenging its curriculum is.
    Tips for prospective students

    1. Apply early since you will be more likely to get in. 2. Visit the campus because it makes it much easier to tell if you will like a school. 3. Have a back up school in case you don't get into your first choice.
    In three sentences

    Campbell is a small town school with a lot of spirit. The professors care about each student, and they know them personally. The school is a great fit for some students and not others because it is a Christian university in a small town.

    Campus Safety

    I worked late hours while attending here, and there were always security officers who were willing to take me back to the dorm if I needed assistance due to the hour, or the amount of books I was carrying. They have poles located all across campus to call an officer if you need one, and they also have a phone in the 24 hour room that connects to the security office in case of emergency or if you just need someone to accompany you back to the dorm. Be careful though, some of them do like to race each other in their golf carts at night, and they aren't always watching for pedestrians.
    Great for these types of students

    Most of the students that enjoy their experience here are ones that are going for pharmacy, party, or come from money.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    There are plenty of quiet places to go on campus if you decide to tak a walk or run.
    Bang for the buck

    You really don't get your bang for your buck here. They have an awesome library (and staff there at the library), some good variety for eating and a lot of activities. But, the school itself seems to spend its money on advertising the school and using smelly chemicals to make the grass look green rather then fixing sidewalks and issues in the dorms. The academics are okay. But overall, for the amount you pay to come here, it just isn't worth it.
    What to do for fun

    CAB hosts a lot of activities on campus, there are Bible studies (of different faiths) going on throughout the week, and there is generally a lot going on for relaxing around exam times. Though, if you want to go anywhere, you really do need a vehicle since the closest town is almost 20 minutes away. But, I do advise you to take full advantage of the weightlifting room, the free gym and the pool. They are great for getting rid of some of that spare time during the year.
    Food and Dining

    I don't exactly have a lot to say on this topic, since I'm not on the meal plan, except for the fact that they have a very limited selection for those who do have food allergies. Otherwise, they have restaurants and two small stores on campus as well as the general dining hall. So, if you don't like what Marsh is serving that day, there are quite a few other options.
    Dorm Life

    This really depends on the dorm you get into. From my experience though, some of the RAs and RDs are really awesome and it's possible to have a great time with friends. The quality of the dorms themselves is debatable. They need updated, and the New Dorm, which I was in, wasn't properly maintained.
    Academic Rigor

    I have only enjoyed a handful of the classes that I've attended here so far, and it is mostly because there are some teachers that don't seem to take a particular interest in the students they teach, just the standing that they [the teacher] hold in the school. The classes are on both ends of the spectrum. I've had some that are so easy that you can sleep through it and get and A, and I've also had some that, no matter how hard you try and study, you will barely squeak by.
    Tips for prospective students

    1) Be sure that you know the state regulations for your major as well as the school's. ESPECIALLY if you are a special education major who plans to get a Master's in something other than special education. 2) Look for a better school first. 3) Really get to know your department head and your adviser if you do choose to attend. 4) Find teachers that everyone recommends (not just because they're easy)! They are generally the ones that care about the student and are willing to help you the most if you are struggling. 5) Love your roomie! It doesn't matter where you go, this is a must. If you don't love your roommate, find one that you do as soon as possible. It will make life so much easier.
    In three sentences

    Campbell is an expensive school, especially for the area, although, the campus is really nice. They do offer a variety of activities to do, however, if you are serious about your academics or are a student who works, they schedule things at times that aren't always convenient. Overall, my experience here has been less than satisfactory for the amount that I have to pay in order to attend.

    Campus Safety

    Campus Safety here at Campbell takes their job very seriously. There are emergency stands positioned all around campus in case of an emergency. The campus safety officers are also very helpful and efficient in providing their services, they'll even teach you how to change car tires and more. They also provide their number on Campbell University documents so that students may have access to it, and they encourage students to save it in their phones as well.
    Greek Life

    Unfortunately Campbell University has no Greek life.
    Clubs and Activities

    There are over 25 clubs/activities/sports for students to choose from. Each team is like a small family who work together for the fun and love of the sport that they play (whether it be competitively or just for plain 'ol fun). You also have the privilege as a student of Campbell to create your own club/sport.
    Great for these types of students

    Campbell is great for students who wish to further their education in a Christian environment, it's also great for those students who would like to be introduced to a Christian environment. It's fabulous for students who don't wish to go to a big university but wish to experience the feeling of a small family oriented community.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    Some unusual traditions but also very awesome traditions would be mud volleyball, having dinner with the CU president, and Campbell's mini fair at the beginning of the year.
    Bang for the buck

    Campbell is pretty expensive due to the fact that it is a private university. So for the average family without scholarships, loans, grants, etc it may be a little challenging financially. However, there are Campbell scholarships, grants, and loans that students may apply for.
    What to do for fun

    Fun is where you make it at Campbell University. There are bunches of clubs, intermurals, sports, etc to participate in, and you can also make your own. Also the off campus trips are a blast, for example trips to Washington DC, the Beach, fun parks, ice skating, and plenty more!

    The dorms here are pretty well put together. Some dorms are being renovated which is definitely a good thing. However, get to know your dorm mates, they're are great people to make connections with...after all you will be living with them.

    The academic rigor here is not too challenging (if you study). Having excellent study skills and not procrastinating are ultimate keys to success here.

    Campus Safety

    You will hardly ever be able to go somewhere on campus and not see the campus safety golf carts riding around! We also have safety poles which are bright orange and if you ever feel unsafe you can push the button and talk with campus safety who will immediately send someone to come and get you. I have never once walked around campus, even at 4am, and felt unsafe on Campbell's campus.
    Greek Life

    There is not greek life on campus at Campbell University. However, there are a few fraternities and sororities at Campbell that you can join based on your major. For example if you are an education major you can join Kappa Delta Pi and these fraternities do not have housing on campus.
    Clubs and Activities

    There are so many clubs and sports and activities to do on campus that sometimes it become hard to juggle them all. If you like sports but do not want to play for the school then there are plenty of intramural teams to join for almost every sport. Clubs are endless and if Campbell does not have club you are more than welcome to start it in fact it is encouraged!
    Great for these types of students

    Campbell is great for students who want a small school environment and small class sizes. It is also great for people who do not mind going out and doing or participating in campus activities and who really want to be involved in what is going on in the community. Believe me one will not be short on opportunities to volunteer and have fun!
    Bang for the buck

    Campbell is worth every penny and they are also really good about giving scholarships out to there students. Believe me they want you to come bad and are willing to pay!! But overall everything is really great and many things are included when you pay and plenty of things are discounted as well like school trips and restaurants in surrounding areas. The teachers are exceptional and the campus is gorgeous!
    What to do for fun

    Going to school at Campbell you are kind of in the middle of no where but there are always activities going on whether it be by your dorm or the Campus Activities Board or other clubs. You are also just a short drive from Raleigh which has everything you could ever want be it shopping, date night, food, movies or a place to explore art and history.
    Food and Dining

    There are plenty of food options on campus and the meal plan options are great! The food at Campbell is really good especially when compared to many other schools in the state and in the nation.
    Dorm Life

    I absolutely love dorm life at Campbell! The resident directors and resident assistants are hand picked through an extensive application process so that we have the best. You are encouraged to get to know your dorm-mates and participate in the activities put on by the resident assistants (and I highly recommend that you do participate because it is a great way to make/ meet new friends and get a nice break from school work)!
    Academic Rigor

    Depending on your major the academic rigor can be harder but overall the teachers push you and challenge you on a daily basis. They encourage you to explore and go deeper with the topics you are learning but they are also there to help you when you need it.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you think Campbell might be the school for you do not hesitate to visit and visit more than once. Get your name in the system and make people notice you!

    Campbell University is a very close nit community where you are not just a small fish in a big pond.

    There are many dorm activities that the residency director and resident advisers plan throughout the semester. These activities vary from group yoga sessions to chemistry study groups to ice cream parties.

    There are several general education requirements that all students must complete to graduate. These are fairly easy to complete, and not exceedingly challenging. I am a science major and have found the program that Campbell has laid out to be challenging in the best possible way.
    Tips for prospective students

    Stay in touch with your adviser, he or she will be your guide in signing up for spring semester classes your freshman year. Weekly updates of campus activities are sent out via email, so check your email regularly.

    Residence on campus can be very rewarding! Every dorm is comprised of people who are eager to mingle and get to know you. Collectively every dorm has activities to get to know every person and rules to make sure evreyone lives comfortably.
    Academic Rigor

    Campbell in the classroom is fantastic! Professors are knowledgeable about their courses and offer various points of view. You will definitely leave a class knowing more than you did walking in. Campbell challenges you to broaden your horizons and learn not only in but out of the classroom.
    Tips for prospective students

    Become open minded if you are not already to diversity and learning styles. College is an experience that shapes you into the person you will be for the rest of your life. Enjoy your freedom but be mindful that you are preparing for your future.

    What to do for fun

    CU is located off US421 (that runs between Wilmington and Boone, NC) near Dunn, NC out in a rural setting. Several nearby attractions, town and cities are within short distance for a quick run to Walmart or day trips.
    Food and Dining

    Come prepared at CU to supplement the meal plan with your own shopping. The food is generally not all that great. It would be nice to have more soup and sandwich options, along with more home cooked meal fares.
    Dorm Life

    With the right CU roommate, freshman dorm life can be a rewarding experience. The dorms have good locations and are well maintained. Make sure to do a thorough inspection of your assigned room on move-in day, especially for any potential mold problems.
    Academic Rigor

    The teacher to student ratio in most classes at CU is very good. Teachers get to know you by name. Assignments are fair and challenging. You can expect to make A and B's, with an occasional C, with the appropriate balance of study and social time.
    Tips for prospective students

    My four tips for CU prospective students would be: 1.) find a good roommate, 2.) bring a bike, 3.) join some clubs, and 4.) apply for scholarships. Even though it is an expensive private school, don't be discouraged and try for the Scott-Ellis Scholarship.
    In three sentences

    I knew CU was the right fit for me after my first college visit. The campus had everything I was looking for including great: 1.) PGM program, 2.) learning facilities, 3.) Christian atmosphere, 4.) small population, and 5) extracurricular activities. I would highly recommend CU to any prospective student.

    Some dorms have extremely bigger rooms than others. Living on the north side of campus would be better. Living on the south side of campus......be prepared to walk. No driving unless you live off campus.
    Academic Rigor

    Be prepared to study a lot. You may not get as much sleep as you are use to. Be sure to ask any and all classes you have.

    In three sentences

    I would rate Campbell, on a scale 1-10, a 6. I say this because it is a great school, the teachers are amazing and the environment is great for keeping you focus. It is a 6 because not much financial help is given to those who need it.

    Campus Safety

    Campus safety patrols the campus on golf carts, and all of the safety faculty is comprised of retired police officers. The Harnett County Sheriff's office is just off campus, and there are orange posts all around the campus where at the push of a button, a security officer can come to your location.
    Greek Life

    Campbell will have Greek life next fall semester.
    Clubs and Activities

    Great academically-based clubs like the Presidential Scholars Club. Most clubs participate in community-based service.

    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    In the fall semester, Campbell traditionally hosts mud volleyball games, and a bonfire for homecoming. The first football game of the year is a big event as well.
    Bang for the buck

    I absolutely love it at Campbell. The atmosphere is great for not only learning but also for socializing. Financial aid is available, and food options are pretty good. Extracurriculars are very high quality and getting involved on campus is well worth a student's time.
    What to do for fun

    Campbell hosts many activities for students, such as trips to amusement parks and movie theaters, as well as on-campus activities like pumpkin carving in October or traveling magicians in the auditorium. The Campus Activity Board plans events and sends out a calendar for students. The movie nights on Fridays in the auditorium are fun.

    Campus Safety

    They're always driving about in their orange golf carts. Campbell honestly felt like the safest campus I visited.
    Greek Life

    We are getting Greek Life next semester, so nothing to say about that.
    Clubs and Activities

    There are a lot of them. There is one for any king of interest.
    Great for these types of students

    Studious, open to religious involvement, friendly, willingness to get along with others
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    We have 'chapel' every Monday morning for entering freshmen. Upperclassmen have their chapel at a different times depending on when they entered the school. Before exams there is some sort of event to help ease students into exams, like last semester we had midnight breakfast.
    Bang for the buck

    I feel like the food should be better for what we pay.
    What to do for fun

    There are movies every Friday and Saturday night unless another event overlaps it. Concerts are often hosted on campus and the school chorus is amazing.
    Food and Dining

    Not that good, but not terrible. Marshbanks quality drastically decreases after the first couple week of the new term. The food may seem delicious when you attend orientation or visitation days, but it doesn't last. Shous is better than Marshbanks and the Oasis is full of several eating options.
    Dorm Life

    The freshmen girl dorms are nicer than the freshmen boy dorms. The upperclassmen male dorms are quite small too. Men aren't allowed in female dorms except for on certain days during certain times, which I find a bit ridiculous since we are adults.
    Academic Rigor

    The academics are rigorous regardless to major, but of course certain majors will have a heavier class loads than others. The pharmacy program is one of the best in the state.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you like small, cozy campuses that radiate a old college feel, then Campbell is for you. If your willing put some effort into you're work and understand priorities than this school would be a good fit!

    What to do for fun

    Campbell's Student government and 'CAB' organizations are always holding activities that students can go to throughout the week including games movies and fun resident programs. There have been several concerts, appearances by Phillip Phillips, and The Goo Goo Dolls. and even field trips to fun parks and ice cream parlors.
    Food and Dining

    The campus has varies selections of food around. On campus there is a Chic Fil A, Poppa Johns and Quizno's but there are many other restaurants around the campus that are in walking distance. The cafeteria has an international grill that servers food of different cultures. They also have really good breakfast.
    Dorm Life

    All dormes are maintained on a daily to weekly basis. Most dorms are fairly new, and dorms that are old are renovated quite frequently. They are presented very neatly and are kept well through out the year.
    Academic Rigor

    Although rigor may depend on majors, studying for all classes is a must. Some teachers whose class people may consider an easy 'A' are aware of this and do not take this lightly. Make sure to utilize every professor to get full understanding of the material presented.
    Tips for prospective students

    Make sure to come into the school with the proper mindset of succeeding in school and studying hard. Do not neglect any extra help offered as there are a plethora of sources provide to ensure academic success.

    Campbell is definitely a school full of intelligent but also kind hearted students, faculty and staff.

    Get involved in CAB ( campus life activities) and be social. My best friend told me college is like kindergarten, don't be afraid to ask to use someones crayons. (:
    Food and Dining

    Food is average, its better than nothing. Plus, there is an app you can download that will allow you to see what is being served at Shouse and Marshbanks.
    Dorm Life

    Depending on where you're staying, dorm life can be incredible or absolutely awful. By no means are you probably going to get an amazing dorm for your first year, unless you have connections. Other than maintenance skipping corners, if you keep your room clean, you should be good.
    Academic Rigor

    Academics at Campbell can be considered difficult but every course, despite curriculum and teacher style, is what you make of it. Walk in to the course expecting an A and don't allow yourself to slack off.
    Tips for prospective students

    Manage time well and always pick the best place before selling and buying books. Some people try to rip you off when selling books. Check every stand around campus, ask friends, and also check the bookstore. If the bookstore has a high demand for your book they will more than likely pay more for it.
    In three sentences

    The school has a positive atmosphere but can be considered boring. If you involve yourself with campus activities and become social, you'll never be bored.

    They're installing the Greek Life in the Fall of 2013.
    What to do for fun

    Campbell, like I mentioned before, it's a private school and the location of the University is in a small village called Buies Creek. There aren't that many attractions around Campbell University but if you stay with your close friends and make good relationships then Campbell will an exciting Campus.
    Tips for prospective students

    I suggestive to tour Campbell before anything, just like you should before anything else. Campbell is growing, meaning the private tuition is rising as well. Begin applying for scholarship because Campbell is tad bit expensive.
    In three sentences

    A small, private school. With the school being so small and private, everyone has a close relationship with each other (more like a family). Carries a Christian atmosphere.
