Categories Comments Great for these types of students Students who love God, who don't, and who want to love God. Also, this campus is great for students who live in Kentucky and want to experience a small, yet dynamic campus. Students who live and breathe for interactions with foreign students will find a variety of International students ranging from Japan to Brazil and back!
Tips for prospective students Be sure to visit campus prior to attending the University. Ask your admissions counselor questions that you prepare before meeting with them. Also, if you are seeking a minor or major in Music, understand the requirements for your first two semesters if you are a Performance Grant recipient.
Bang for the buck Though Campbellsville University is more expensive than most institutions, the tuition and other expenses are worth the Christ-centered, educational environment a student experiences. I found that the higher tuition goes towards resources that students at other colleges have to fund entirely themselves.
Am enjoying being here The campus is one that strives to create activities for the students to be involved it. This requires the student to be able to search for some gold nugget events that are constantly occurring on campus.
Academic Rigor The professors at this institution are well educated. The class size ratio is small enough to create an environment of excellent learning. The professors work hard to make sure that every student succeeds to become masters of each subject.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students -Punctual -Ready to learn -Wants to be at the school
Tips for prospective students -If you plan on skipping class for no reason, the attendance policy will make your life miserable. -Academics is rated very high for this school. So plan on working hard in the majority of your classes.
Bang for the buck Campbellsville, has recently become quite expensive. So if you haven't applied for any scholarships, do so. The Internet has many options available to you.
Am enjoying being here I enjoy going to my education major classes. Some of the professors, and students tend to be snobby and put off.
Am learning a lot When a person is taking courses in their intended major, they will definitely learn lots. However, in the gen ed courses, it will all depend on the professor if the student will gain the knowledge intended.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students If you enjoy a small community and are not seeking a massive change, then it's the perfect place to be. In my opinion this University is almost easier than high school.
Tips for prospective students Get involved. There are several groups and organizations and they are all extremely fun. It's best to make the most of the experience because you will miss it.
Bang for the buck Though it is very expensive, it is definitely worth it. The university offers a wide variety of scholarships, especially for athletes, which cuts tuition down to an extremely affordable rate.
Am enjoying being here The campus is beautiful and the learning environment is exquisite. It's not a huge campus so it makes it easier to find your classes and make friends.
Am learning a lot The professor student ratio is perfect. The classes are not overwhelmingly large which creates more opportunities for students and attention.

Categories Comments Campus Safety the campus safety is does well.
What to do for fun i went to the free fate training class that lasted 2 days at cu and it was very interesting and fun.
Food and Dining the food is pretty good at campbellsville university. i ate at chick-fil-a and it was clean and the food was served to you fast.
Academic Rigor in my opinion, this university keeps me on my toes. it challenges me each week with new assignments, due dates, observations i have to get done, artifacts and lesson plans for my portfolio.
Tips for prospective students some tips i would give prospective students if they are going into the same major as i am iece at cu then you will need to get prepared for reading textbooks, studying, typing everything, writing reflections on almost everything you do, and going to schools for observations. to even start doing observations you need your tb skin test, background check, and etc to be able to go into the classrooms.
In three sentences campbellsville university has terrific iece professors that work with you and try their best to get you prepared for teaching. i also learn so much in their iece courses; which, i'm working and studying very hard to achieve this. this college i would rate at a 9 out of 10 because i'm a junior there and i feel like i'm receiving a higher education that i can use for my future.

Food and Dining Dinning Hall is amazing, there are many different options on what to eat, meal plans vary for on campus and off campus students. Chic Fil A is also an option, which the school provided each student with 100 dollars to spend there each semester.
Dorm Life Dorm life is really good, there are a few options. There is Stapp hall which is like a regular dorm, but you can choose to have a single room or with a roommate, and of course the cost varies on which one is chosen. There's the Village which is more like an apartment, 6 people leave in a place together, it has three bathrooms, and three bed rooms, two people per each one. It has a kitchen, and living room area as well.
Academic Rigor There are many of different options to make sure that the academics are going well, tutors, one on one time with teachers, group studies.

Academic Rigor Campbellsville University offers its students a plethora of opportunities to learn through homework, tests, and field experiences.
Tips for prospective students When you come to Campbellsville, come with an open mind and heart. You will definitely be given what you need with a wellness approach. They educate your mind and spirit.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students Students who are looking for a friendly, homey atmosphere and who want to have a lot of FUN
Bang for the buck Totally worth every penny you will spend to go here
What to do for fun Movies, go to Green River Lake, play sports, go to the Student Activity Center, go to town for shopping
Food and Dining The food isn't terrible, but it could be better. Steak Night is probably my favorite meal in the Caf :)
Dorm Life I absolutely LOVE the girls who live on my dorm hall. We're like a big family, and we always have a good time together! It can be annoying having to share space with a roommate, but for the most part it's awesome.
Academic Rigor The classes I have taken at Campbellsville so far have been challenging at times but easy at others. There has only been one class so far that has been more challenging than the others, but it's not more than I can handle.
Tips for prospective students Make sure you reach all the deadlines on time for scholarships, enrollment, and housing information, etc. And don't be discouraged if you don't get a certain scholarship-there are TONS of scholarships to apply for at CU-they even give you a scholarship just for being a good student!
In three sentences I absolutely love being a student at CU. I knew from the moment I first stepped foot on campus that I was going to spend the next four years of my life here. Everyone is so friendly...you will have tons of friends in less than a week!

Categories Comments Campus Safety It is a very safe campus. Security is always available to call.
Greek Life There is none.
Clubs and Activities BCM, athletics, Honors Club, community service opportunities.
Great for these types of students Christians, especially hardcore Christians. Conservatives, people who want to be sheltered or stay inside their bubble. It's also good for people who grow up in small towns. I'm from the city and I hated living in a place so rural and small, with nothing to do.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The swings were my favorite place.
Bang for the buck The total cost was lower than several comparable schools in the state. But... you also get what you pay for...
What to do for fun There is a Walmart and a lake... you have to make up your own fun. And this gets very old after only a short time... The town offers very little to do and the university itself is very dead (on the weekends especially). If you like to go out/stay busy, this town and college doesn't offer anything for you in that respect.
Food and Dining The food was not terrible.... Lunch was usually better than dinner. Choices were sparse on the weekends. There was an entree buffet, a salad bar, a grill, a stir-fry station, pizza station, sandwich station, and cereal and fruit. The dessert bar was always stocked. One of my favorite things about CU was the Blue Bell ice cream. It was awesome! Overall the food was okay--not nasty, but not exactly delicious either.
Dorm Life Visitation hours for men in womens' dorms was 3-11pm. There are two options for women: the Village and Stapp Hall. I lived in the Village Phase 2. The building was new so it was in good shape, but the noise levels were high. You could hear everything in the house. Also, my room was always really hot because the sun shined in all afternoon and I was in the back (which was technically the front) of the house. My roommate and I shared our own bathroom, but the kitchen only had a fridge, sink, and microwave. I do not know anything about how Stapp or the mens' dorms are.
Academic Rigor Every class that I had during freshman year was very easy. I did not have to do homework or study very much, and came out with all As. The pace dragged on slowly. I do not feel that I was academically challenged and I wish I had been. I suppose I needed to go to a different school for that....
Tips for prospective students Choose CAREFULLY!!!! If you have any doubts or complaints about this or any college before you go, make sure you can ignore them or fix them because you will spend the next few years there. But, also don't forget that you can transfer.
In three sentences Campbellsville University is small, remote, boring, biased, judgmental, not challenging in any way (for me), and not diverse. The classes were easy, but most of the professors were down to earth and kind. When I was there, I could not wait to transfer.

Categories Comments Academic Rigor The class sizes at CU are much smaller than your average school so come prepared to attend class (there is an attendance policy). Teachers take time to get to know students--they are not just a number!
In three sentences CU is a great atmosphere for all students. We have a wide range of majors and minors. We also have a lot to keep a person busy (and out of trouble).

Categories Comments Campus Safety Security patrols campus 24/7 and will walk any student to their car, dorm or class if a person does not fell safe or comfortable to go alone.
Greek Life No sororities on are this campus because we are a Baptist University.
Clubs and Activities The University has over 80 clubs and student Organizations!
Great for these types of students Student who come from small communities or who are looking for a home away from home with caring staff and Administration.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus During welcome and freshmen week Campbellsville University tires to set a Guenesse Book Record. The school has set records in the past several years including, The Highest Stack of mattresses and the Largest Red-Light_Green_Light Game. The University strives for every student to have helped set 4 World Records while attending.
Bang for the buck I truely feel and believe that a students will get the Bang for thier buck and Campbellsville University, if they are will to
What to do for fun Their are College Nights at the local Bowling Alley (Wednesday Nights bowl for $1 a game and $1 shoe rentals) and Movie Theatre (Tuesday Nights $3 a ticket). You can also go to Green River Lake that is 10 minutes from the Campus. Students can also go 2 blocks from campus to the downtown Shops and Boutiques.
Food and Dining Our dining Hall has the best variation that a school could ask for. There is always a main line with the special of the day, but the cafe also has a salad, sandwich, pizza, breakfast bar, and a Grill bar to choose from. So the options are endless!
Dorm Life Their are over 1,000 students who live on campus in the non-co-ed dorms. There are many people to get to know and hang out with.
Academic Rigor Classes are challenging but fun due to the caring staff and their willingness to push every students to become the individual they could have never imagined.
Tips for prospective students Come visit! It's a very small and friendly campus. You will love the atmosphere!
In three sentences Campbellsville University is a top notch university because of it Religious roots and determination of the Faculty and Staff to prepare the students for the real world. The caring and friendly faculty and staff are willing to walk every step of the way with students offering advice about paths to take, extra help outside of the classroom, and on life obstacles or trials with self experience and wisdom.

Categories Comments Campus Safety We have 24/7 Campus Security Patrol that you see around every corner. You always feel safe!
Greek Life There is no Greek life on our campus.
Clubs and Activities Campbellsville offers many clubs and even more activities throughout the year.
Great for these types of students Any! CU is a very diverse campus.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Every year during Welcome Week we set a world record! Last year we set the record for the largest game of Red Light Green Light.
Bang for the buck Campbellsville offers a lot of scholarships however, it being a private school, tuition is expensive.
What to do for fun Three dollar movie night is my favorite! But we also have game nights and Red Box nights, etc.
Food and Dining There best meal is chicken tenders however they save those for when important people come to visit.
Dorm Life Living in the Village, I was spoiled with only sharing a bathroom with one other girl and a house with five other girls. The Residence Directors and Residence Assistants do a great job of keeping the dorms in great condition and helping the residence.
Academic Rigor Classes are tough but the professors are so nice and caring if you go talk to them if you are having issues they will help you anyway they can.
Tips for prospective students GO TO CLASS. Some professors are known to drop finals, drop low scores, give extra credit points if you attend so many/all classes, or will count attendance as a grade in the class!
In three sentences Campbellsville is a great place to learn from professors who actually care about you and your future. You never meet a stranger walking on campus and you feel 100% safe at all hours. This past year at CU has been the best year of my life and I look forward to returning in the fall.

What to do for fun I just meet new people and my friends and I always have get togethers for all the other students.
Food and Dining Well our food isn't that good, we don't have a lot of choices. Our chicken fingers are good that's about it. We also had a Chick-fil-a.
Dorm Life We have a strick policy. I feel like they have to many rules and they treat us like we are kids. But the set up of the dorms are nice and we keep buliding more because of the new students.
Academic Rigor Like I've said befor the teachers are willing to work with all students.
Tips for prospective students When you arrive at CU don't expect it to be the college life you always hear about, because it not a large D1 University. You have to make your own fun.
In three sentences Its a great place to meet new people and to grow a stronger connection with God. The teachers are nice and help you out all the time. Also the sports teams are all great.
