Review of Clarks Summit University

from Westfield, NY

Describe your college in three sentences.

BBC is a good school with a great academic aspects and fantastic faculty who really care about you. The class sizes are extremely small allowing 1-on-1 learning opportunities.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Research different schools before deciding on ANY college, not just BBC. Look at all your options and create a plan of action, don't just roll into it blind.

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

As a freshman I think the academics are pretty level for the most part. There are some easy classes with very little course work and then there are other classes that are harder that require more course work. The academic rigor is laid out so that you can accomplish your major and your Bible major in a timely manor and do well in your classes as long as you apply yourself diligently.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Dorm life is amazing! You are forced to create a bond with your roommate, suit mates, floor mates, and dorm mates. There are plenty of opportunities to create bonds and relationships that will last for a lifetime. Freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors are all intermingled throughout the rooms allowing guidance and growing relationships. I can't say anything negative about the dorms

Describe the food and dining at your college.

The food here is ok, there is variety but there isn't a ton of variety. I think it depends on your preferences. There are people here on campus that say they love it, there are people that hate it, and there are people in between. The nice thing is that there are a lot of choices. There is always a salad bar, a hot line, a specialty line, cookies, ice cream, cereal, and a deli bar; along with the drink machines with soda, juice, water, and milk.

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

There are usually some type of activities going on. Whether it be a boardgames in the Underground Cafe, an athletic game to watch, inter mural games to join, movies and the weekends, and then your regular game of touch football out on the quad. Sometimes you have to get creative with something fun to do, but if you have the right people, you'll never be bored. Then of course there's homework....

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

If a couple on campus gets engaged, the guy's dorm throws the fellow into the pond (it's pretty nasty), then they run to the girls dorm and the couple kisses (the only LEGAL time the couple is allowed to kiss on campus.)

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

The BBC Security team is hand picked students with good grades and involved in sports. The head of security, Kenn Davis, is amazing and learns everyone's name and develops a relationship with them. The crime rate on BBC campus has been basically non-existent since he joined the team.
