Cumberland University

Cumberland University is a small private school that is slowly evolving, but overall it is a great school. I would definitely recommend it to people even though it is not like the other big universities. Everyone knows everyone and everyone is super friendly and welcoming.

My time at Cumberland University so far has, in all honesty, been good. Like every college or school you attend, it has its ups and downs. It is a fairly small school and you can get from one end to the other in about 5 minutes. Most of the rooms in Memorial Hall are cold in the winter and warm in the summer unfortunately. But overall the school is great and the Nursing program is wonderful.

Cumberland challenges students more than most colleges will. The classes and studies are hard, but are meant to drive the student and help them grow. The professors are always there to lend a hand and help in whatever is needed. Like every college, it has it’s pros and cons but the good definitely outweighs the bad.

It is a wonderful school. The campus is small (which I love) and the professors seem to truly care about their students. Professors are very approachable and willing to help/work with each student. After I toured the campus, this was the only college I applied for because it seemed perfect for me.

Cumberland University is a welcoming, relaxed, and academically challenging University. It expects the best from it's students and offers the tools and guides to student success and achievement. It has a variety of student organizations dedicated to student life, health, and academia. The faculty is personal and helps each student to the best of their ability and are almost always available. Cumberland University is a college of success with a sincere dedication to students.

Great school for academics and sports. Professors are always available during in season sports or off season. Great support between the various sports. The cafeteria is not that great. The school in located in a very small town. My overall experience is very positive.

Cumberland is a small school with several positives. The professors are very accessible and are always willing to help. There is academic rigor and many academic conversations around campus. It is a growing school with several majors to choose from despite its small size. The food is decent as is the housing.

Cumberland University is an outstanding school. It is a very small campus that is easy to get around. The academic work is easily understandable, and it is easy to make friends. I am currently enrolled as a freshman and I absolutely love it. I got offered to play baseball here with Coach Woody Hunt, and that was the best decision because Cumberland has an amazing athletic program. The environment is very safe and warm, and I am more than happy to be here at Cumberland and look forward to furthering my career here.

Cumberland University is a small liberal arts/athletic school that pushes its students to grow into not only what their careers are but also grow into good citizens who can lead others and respect diversity.

If I could go back and give my high school self advice, I would definitely say to take the time to study. Saying "no" to friends who want to hang out or to Netflix is the best option. Studying correctly doesn't have to be a burden, and you realize that after you take tests and realize that you remember the material, just not exactly what the answer is. It is not hard to still spend time with friends while keeping up a good study routine. It really isn't. You can study with friends or on your own in the learning commons or library. It's such an easy thing to do. Everyday after dinner you should take the materials from that day and study them, then look at the material you'll need for the next day. If you stay organized, then procrastination and cramming will be a thing of the past. You know you are a smart girl, you just need to stay motivated. Just think of your future as a vet. You know you have to work hard if you want to save that little girl's pet cat.

The small size really makes learning easier. The faculty and staff are always available to help whenever needed, plus we have 24/7 free tutoring online. Going to a small school was the right choice because I don't feel like I'm just another number there, and I have so many opportunities to lead and grow.

Wow! High school was almost 40 years ago. I was a good student and studied a lot of times when I didn't need to. If I could go back in time I would tell myself to be more deligent in my school work, make the subject purposeful and interesting, and don't let anyone tell me that I wasn't good enough. Luckily, I was never a procrastinator about my work. I didn't like being unprepared for that pop quiz. I would tell myself that it is never too late for college. I have chatted with quite a few students at KCC about their high school years and a large percentage of them say they hated it, didn't like studying, and/or dropped out. I never did think of ever quitting. I loved high school and would go back in a heartbeat. My GPA would be a 4.0 instead of a 3.0. Not being one of the popular girls, my grades were my identity. I would say "always strive to improve, never give up, and dream as big as you can while you're in high school." I would tell Lynn to "Go for it!"
