Review of Christian Brothers University

from Memphis, TN

Describe your college in three sentences.

Overall, CBU is a very diverse place with so many experiences that will help you become the person that you wish to be. There are so many opportunities to take part in, and groups to be apart of that will definitely help you with your degree! This is one college that once you take a step on the campus, you will know it's for you!

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

My main tip for prospective students is GET TO KNOW YOUR PROFESSORS! This will surely help because when you build and actual relationship with them, they are more flexible with you, and they can help you with a lot of your classes and any problems you may have.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

The academic rigor actually isn't as hard as most would like to believe. This school works with you, and that makes the word easier to do.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Living in the dorms for my first two years of college was the best experience of college for me. If you want that full college life-style, you will surely want to stay on campus because the dorms are really nice, the campus is inviting, and you will gain so many friends!

Describe the food and dining at your college.

Four words; YOU WILL GAIN WEIGHT! That is just how great the food is at this school. The freshman 15 is actually the freshman 50 at this school. So, you will want to take advantage, but DON'T! Lol

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

Every single day on campus, there is always something to do. From parties, to carnivals, to fundraisers, there is always something to grasp your attention, and get you a part of the community, so get into it!

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

Now, I can say that the one thing that complicates going to this school is the tuition, but there are plenty of on campus jobs, work study, and scholarships they give, so you WILL make it.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

One really interesting thing that happens on campus is The Rock. It's this gigantic boulder that the students get up really late at night and spray paint for events, fundraisers, or awareness. It's really cool, and it gathers people together because they really enjoy it; I know I did!

Which types of students will excel at your college?

This school is great for students that are really for a change. Christian Brothers doesn't really stick to the status quo, and that makes it a gem. If you want a chance to find yourself, you will really do that at CBU.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

There is a club for almost EVERYTHING! Plus, the school is really vital on unity and equality, so if there is a club or activity that you want to get into, just ask!

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

This is one of the rather cool things about this campus. Even though there are national known urban Greeks, and Greeks with mostly caucasian members, race does not stop you from joining. Equality really is a trait that this school holds dear, so you will be apart of something.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

Campus safety is actually pretty good. Sometimes, they can be annoying (especially if you have that moment where you and significant other are trying to have an intimate moment in the car and they show up), but overall, they give you security, and that really gives you peace of mind.
