Campbell University is a beautiful and peaceful college. There are various activities to keep you involved and everyone is courteous. For the majority, class sizes are small and professors actually learn your name.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Be prepared to enjoy campus life and get involved as soon as possible. A new student center is being built and will provide an awesome place for students to gather and enjoy doing stuff together. Do you best in high school and if your school offers the dual program with a local community college, sign up for some classes! This will help give you a feel for what to expect on the college level.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Class are TOUGH! But professors are very helpful and have open door policies. Tutoring is available most nights in the library. Stay on task and go to class. They do have a strict attendance policy, unlike many public colleges.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I wasn't sure how I would feel about rooming with someone, but I actually love dorm life! The comradery between suite mates, hall mates, and roommates are wonderful and our dorm (Small Hall) is always having stress relieving nights and our RA's plan fun activities that we can all be involved in. Our dorm is a bit older, but still kept in good shape and our rooms are a fair size.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
I'm not real thrilled with the food, but that's just me! I like to eat home-cooked foods but Marshbanks, the main dining hall, it a bit of a hike from my dorm. There are several smaller fast food type places and I enjoy those on occasion. I love having a Chick-Fil-A on campus and a Starbucks! Yummy!
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Get involved! There are all kinds of activities going on. There are intramural sports, the Camel Crazies, who attend sporting events together, Bible Studies, etc. available. There is also a gym available for students and the new student center is suppose to have a bowling alley! Dunn, NC is not far from Campbell and there is a gym and bowling alley along with lots of places to eat.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Because Campbell is a private college, it is more expensive than other schools. However, scholarships can be earned to help alleviate expenses and the small campus life is much more my style.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
There are so many of these! Just to name a few: Freshman move in day involves lots of students helping and the community coming together to help with those heavy boxes and nervous parents and students. That night, there are activities in Academic Circle for freshman to meet one another and get lots of free stuff!. They hold a Medallion Ceremony where freshman are presented with Medallions, which happens to be the only adornment allowed at graduation other than honors cords. Welcome week is the first week after freshmen move in and there are activities planned each night and MORE free stuff! There is a camel there throughout the year for us to ride...First home football game of the season, the FRESHMEN get to run through the team tunnel onto the field then sit with other Camels during the game. For Juniors, there is a special Ring Ceremony where classrooms are walked from the chapel to the convocation center before presentation. There are special services for Christmas and other religious holidays. These are only a few of the many traditions!
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Campbell University is great for students looking for a smaller campus and wanting to be known for who they are and what they can do. Bible studies are a normal part of campus life if this happens to be important to you.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
As previously mentioned, there are so many clubs and activities! At this time, I am only involved with 2 Bible Studies and the Camel Crazies but I know there are a lot more!
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
CU does have Greek Life, however, I have not chosen to go this route at this time due to still acclimating to college life and my rigorous class schedule this year.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
There are constant patrols of the campus and emergency 'boxes' in various places. If you even feel you are in danger, you can go to the emergency box and press a button. They say someone will come and walk you to your destination. Security ride their golf carts all around campus and are constantly checking in with students.
