Abilene Christian University Top Questions

What's unique about your campus?

Mariah

The best thing about Abilene Christian University is the ability to create a community within the school through chapel. There is a certain time set, at 11 o'clock, where everyone on campus comes together to worship and praise God. I think that this is probably the best experience I have had because it shows how open people are and the family we have created with one another.

Aaron

The small classes are amazing. While there are a few that are 100+, these are basics like astronomy or bible. Most of my major specific classes are 20-30 max, and I have had a few under 20. These small classes allow you to get to know your professor, the professor to get to know you, and just makes the learning experience that much more acute.

Ashlea

The best thing about Abilene Christian University is its Christ-centeredness. Everything that goes on here has a connection to Christ. The professors tie in the Bible in their lectures and all the social clubs have Christ as a focus. Prayers are said at every event, and most people have a genuine love of Christ, which creates a friendly and accepting environment.

Karli

The best thing about ACU is the small student to teacher ratio. With classes of less than 20, it is easier to be to connect with the teacher and with other students in the classroom. Also with smaller classes, the professors are able to learn about the students' interests and in turn, they are able to assist the student when it comes to difficult situations and even for finding jobs.

Candace

The best thing about my school is that the proffesers are very keen to getting to know you to help with understanding the subject or if you have a more pressing matter guiding you to who is the best person to talk with. There is a real community that you build with the other students and proffers that you know have similar interest which is what is unique because you know that they have most likely been through the same things you have . So it is more like a community which really cares about how you are feeling, your life.

Stephanie

Abilene Christian really desires a one-on-one attention to all students. Advisors, professors, all have a unique desire for the students to learn and grow to the best of their ability. The Campus shows the desire and importance of growth, community, and spirituality. All staff provide an opportunity to help the students distiniguish themselves as important individuals that can have an impact on the world. This, i believe, is the desire for many students. This goal is also attainable and possible because of the role of the staff and professors.

Elizabeth

The size of this school would be one of its leading qualities for me. It offers an itimate enough setting that you get to know your fellow students and professors well. But also is large enough that you can experience diversity of intrest, people, and experiences.

Taylor

The small classrooms are by far one of my favorite aspects of this school. Though I was afraid that such a small school would merely be a replica of high school, I have found that I love the small atmosphere. Such an environment really helps me to soak up information as I don't feel like cattle, I feel like an individual to each and every one of my teachers.

Madison

Being at a small school means a closer knit community, with closer relationships both among students and with faculty members. Especially at a small christian school I really feel that I have a comfortable, close and caring environment.

Kimberly

I absolutely love the community created at Abilene Christian University. Dorm life is amazing because people actually get to know other people. It is also a smaller school, which provides us with the opportunity to meet new and different people. We have chapel every day, and I love the idea of the church coming together to worship as one voice. Freshman year is booked full of activities that are for freshmen only; this allows people the chance to become acquainted with others. Communityis such an important aspect of college because people need fellowship of some sort!

The people whether it's a professor, fellow classmate, resident director, resident assisant- they all make my college experience worthwhile with their prayers, advice, and kindness. Everyone here is unbelievably nice and they try to help their students and residents immensly. They show me the love of God daily and it truly makes me a better friend, student, sister, and roommate. They welcome me with open arms and make me feel accepted which is new for me because I never feel like I belong, and I really believe that I do belong here at Abilene Christian University.

Classrooms are small and you feel like you are of value to the teachers.

Accessible size and student life. You will get individual attention from professors, but it's still big enough that you couldn't ever possibly know everyone. Student clubs and activities are plentiful and offer diverse options for free time.

I love the people at ACU. The professors are great and not only do they care about my education, they care about me as a person, as an individual. They want to make sure I'm doing okay socially, spiritually, and mentally. This attitude rubs off on the students, so the general atmosphere on campus is a loving, kind atmosphere where everyone cares about each other.

The ability to freely admit my religion with people who are equally committed is the best feeling the university gives. A friendly and positive outlook that guides students on the path to independence helps me feel at ease and encourages me to embrace new surroundings.
