I enjoy Campbellville University. It is quite small, and the town surrounding is also quite small. It is hard to find a job, but the overall area is really nice. The teachers are all really great, nice, and interactive with the students. It is a nice campus, even though it is small. The sporting events are also nice and fun to go to on the weekends.

Campbellsville University is a great place. It’s a place I’ve began to call home. I have made several friends here and know them very well. I know some of them so well, we even have some of the same classes together. Classes on campus are so wonderful. They’re easy to schedule for, perfect class size, one-on-one time with the professors, professors have great office hours, and professors are really communicative. There are so many wonderful characteristics of Campbellsville University. Above all the classes and wonderful people here on campus, campus itself is a decent size. It’s not too big nor too little. You can walk from one corner to another in less than ten minutes and trust me that’s a good thing. Class schedules here at Campbellsville are pretty decent as well. Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays are fifty minute class days, meaning all classes are fifty minutes long unless you have a lab. Tuesday and Thursday classes are an hour and fifteen minute classes unless you have a lab. So the schedule arrangements here are very doable as well. Something special about Campbellsville University is that they require you to earn forty-eight convocation/chapel credits. These credits are earned through going to a chapel service held here on campus every Wednesday at 10 am or other convocational approved events. So if you earn at least 6 a semester you should be on track. For me that isn’t hard to do at all. This campus’s environment is well suited. The food in the dining hall is very good, way better than high school and they have different choices every day. Overall I’d give this college a 9 out of 10 for all the good work and things they do to provide and care for their students.

It is a great school if you enjoy a Christian, hometown setting. Multiple people are here to love on you and help when needed. Academically, college is easier than high school made it out to be. It is one giant high school here! The class sizes are small and the teachers are always ready to help and accommodate you.

  5. What kind of person should attend this school?

    Campbellsville is a small city, so if you aren't a small town type of person, Campbellsville is not for you. Sure, there are plenty of things to do on campus, but I know that life beyond the campus is something many students look for; Campbellsville doesn't have as much to offer in that area than universities in larger cities. To attend this school you must also be willing to obey rules, so I would urge someone to look into this before they choose CU. The university is pretty strict when it comes to things like drugs and alcohol.

  10. What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about your school?

    How friendly everyone is and how much the proffesors want to see you succeed. They really care and get to know you by name, I've never been in a class larger than 35. When you see them around campus they stop and talk to you, even the president. I love my school's emphasis on servant leadership. Everyday the president gets up at 6AM and walks aroudn the campus picking up trash. It's a lead by example school from the top down. The Freshman manditory mentor program is great to get freshmen oriented.

  11. What's the most frustrating thing about your school?

    There is such an emphasis on sports here. I understand that they pay for your college and they earn the school a lot of money, but for those of us who don't play sports we kind of get left behind when it comes to things like financial aid. It would just be nice if myself like many of our athletes didn't have such a significant bill to pay after I graduate.

  12. What's unique about your campus?

    The best thing about Campbellsville University is that it is a small campus and the professors are always willing to help you. You are able to get one -on-one attention from them and they actually care about what is going on in your life. Also the fact that Campbellsville is so small, you don't need to leave for class more then 5 or 10 minutes early to get there on time. So that's really great when you have to put the final touches on a project before running off to class!
