    Am learning a lot

    Although it depends on the class and the professor, you will definitely walk away with more than one thing you never knew from each course. Each of the professors have their unique touch in the classroom, and it fascinates me to know how educated these individuals are and what THEY have learned in their lifetime. I not only learn strictly educational facets, but also how our spiritual life interacts with all the subjects.
    Am enjoying being here

    Asbury is all about being a community. From dorm life, to activities, to the classroom, a huge priority is to grow in a Christ-centered community. It is an amazing experience! I love how faculty, staff and students alike all share openly that anyone is welcome to come talk to them about life and/or personal issues. They don't even know you, but as you begin to build those relationships, they are incredible. Everyone is so caring. Of course, there are rules Asbury sticks to, but I believe the majority of them are beneficial and out of genuine care to help prevent students from going down a wrong path and making decisions they would later regret. And not to mention, the scenery and college are both beautiful!
    Bang for the buck

    Yes, the finances are expensive. But with all the added benefits from the wonderful relationships, educational options, and spiritual growth, you pay a price absolutely worth it.
    Tips for prospective students

    -Step out of your comfort zone and don't be afraid to meet new people and share your heart with them
    -Participate in activities and leadership roles to better enhance relationships and self-confidence
    -Apply for scholarships
    -Have an open mind and be willing to obey God and His calling for your life, even if it doesn't go according to your plans!
    Great for these types of students

    I am learning so much here! Not only is Asbury a great school when it comes to academics, it is also great for building your life skills and strengthening your Christian faith.
    Am enjoying being here

    I love attending Asbury! The atmosphere is welcoming wherever you go on campus.
    Bang for the buck

    Asbury's financial aid office really tries to help and accommodate students in any way that they can.
    Tips for prospective students

    Be honest and have a good time. When you come here at the beginning of the school year go to all the events this way you can meet a lot of people and start building friendships fast.
    Great for these types of students

    Asbury is great for students wanting to major in areas such as communications, education and equine programs.

    Am learning a lot

    Depending on the course and professor, but most of my classes are great! I love being at a smaller school where my professor gives out a cell phone number. I attended Purdue University during a program in high school where I placed in a lecture hall of 600 students. In order to even ask my teacher a question, the question had to be asked through four teacher aides! It was ridiculous! I enjoy being in a smaller class room where my professor actually knows my name.
    Am enjoying being here

    Most of the time I like being at Asbury. It is hard for me to be living somewhere other than Indiana for the first time in my life, alone. I try to stay actively involved with campus activities such as intramural sports like softball, ultimate frisbee, and basketball along with being a cheerleader and a mentor.
    Bang for the buck

    Even though Asbury is expensive, the school is definitely worth the extra money. Since we have smaller classes, the teachers really get to know you and they care a lot about you, the student. This was really shown to me when my grandma was diagnosed with brain cancer. Living four and half hours away and with gas prices on the rise, it was impossible for me to travel home as much as I wanted to. On top of everything occurring back home, I was in a class, working on a movie. My professor was willing to let me go home multiple times along with taking his final early just so I could go home to be with my grandma before she passed. As a result of my grandma being so close to me and her passing, my grades dramatically dropped. Little did I know, my professor had talked to the Dean of Media Communications about what had happened. Such a true blessing!
    Tips for prospective students

    There are several opportunities to join clubs and outreach programs on campus! It will help to be involved, but don't be overwhelmed! I would also make sure you know all the rules of attending Asbury. I can remember being a freshman and being overwhelmed along with frustrated with all the new rules I was not aware of.
    Great for these types of students

    Asbury is great for Media Communications majors, Equine, Education, and Worship Arts. Asbury has great opportunities set up in all of these programs. An example of these would the Media Communication program that gives students the chance to work the olympics and several professors have graduate students working with CNN, ABC, and other major networks.

    Will learn a lot

    From what I have seen on campus and in the classroom and what I have heard from current and graduated students this is a place to learn a lot! You not only learn about the academics but you learn how your faith works together with the subjects you take.
    Will enjoy being here

    I will most definitely enjoy attending Asbury. I already know some people there and I know i will know many more in the future! It is a very beautiful campus and nice town.
    Bang for the buck

    Although its a little pricy for me I know that it will be worth the money. Its hard not having enough to cover the costs this minute but either way it will definitely be worth the effort and money put into it.
    Tips for prospective students

    - Apply early
    - Apply for scholarships
    - As soon as you get there open up and meet new people
    - Let others help you
    - Grow as much as possible in your faith while your there
    Great for these types of students

    I believe this college is great for any type of student but especially ones who are looking for a way to build up their faith and are willing to learn how their faith goes with everything else they will learn!

    Tips for prospective students

    If you want to learn anything about the equine industry without dealing with large class sizes, this is the best you would want to look at. There is a little over thousand students going, but it is truly worth it.
    Great for these types of students

    Looking for someplace to bring your horse(s) and have a relatively small class sizes.

    In three sentences

    Asbury emphasizes community which is very beneficial to a person. There are many opportunities to get involved. Great Christian school.
    Academic Rigor

    Some classes are more demanding than others. One definitely learns to stretch their mind and think in a different way. Personally have learned more than I thought was possible.
    Dorm Life

    Since Asbury emphasizes on community it is very easy to meet your peers and become close with them. Personally would recommend traditional dorm of Glide-Crawford. Really like that it is all girls gives life a here a safe feel.
    Food and Dining

    I think the food it standard. It is better than some place though. The cafeteria is trying to expand and offer more options which is very nice.
    What to do for fun

    There is always an event going on campus. Of course, Lexington is only 25 minutes away. Would recommend playing a game with some friends in the Student Center.
    Bang for the buck

    Dr. Reynolds is an amazing History professor. So sweet in a grandfather so of way. Have learned so much from him.
    Clubs and Activities

    Good amount of clubs on campus. Just wish there was more money to spend in the History Department, so that more classes could be taught.
    Campus Safety

    I have always felt very safe. Especially walk back to my dorm late from the library.
