DBU is a fantastic place for students who are looking to not only further their education, but also their social life and faith. Everything at DBU oozes with fun, a sense of community, and the love of the Lord. I'm so excited to be attending there in the fall, because I know that I will grow in Christ and grow as a person as well.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Don't be afraid. Everything works out really smoothly and quickly. It is really intimidating at first, but at the end of the day everyone is in the same boat as you and the faculty and staff live to help all of DBU's students and I've come to find that they LOVE freshmen!
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The academics are about as standard as they come, but what makes it so unique is the fact that the professors are all incredibly eager to get to know students on a personal level and help them achieve their greatest in class.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
The dorm rooms themselves are nice. The closets are HUGE! The buildings that they're in are amazing, especially Spence! All of the dorms are very community oriented and they also branch out to the other dorms as well. I'm pretty sure that they have thought of everything to make sure that the people living in the dorms are as comfortable as possible.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Granted, it's not a five-star restaurant. But, as far as school food goes, it's delicious!
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There's constantly things to do at DBU. From intramural sports, to athletic games, Mr. Big Chief (a male beauty pageant), and so much more, it's impossible to be bored.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Being a private school, DBU can be a little expensive. Otherwise, I wouldn't be applying for this scholarship! But they are more than willing to help people be able to afford to go there. Almost everyone that I've talked to has the Christian Leadership Scholarship that they offer that pays for up to 40% of school fees. And as far as private christian schools, DBU is one of the cheapest in the country.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
There's an annual male beauty pageant called Mr. Big Chief. Six-eight guys on campus (who are really just the class clowns) compete in different categories like evening wear, swim wear, talent, etc. There's also several events to go to like the winter ball, midnight madness which is a party/pep rally to kick off basketball season, Sadie Hawkins dance which is a girl-ask-guys western dance, and so much more!
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Any student who is looking for a place with a huge sense of community and a place that incorporates the Lord in everything it offers. Anyone who wants a smaller college with a one-on-one experience with their professors will love DBU.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There are so many things to get involved in at DBU. There's things like Jewel House and Stone House for freshmen to live with a group who want to grow and develop together as they do bible studies and live together. There are several opportunities to get involved in student, academic, and spiritual life.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
All of the greek life at DBU is service oriented and they all help out in different parts of the DFW metroplex and also on DBU campus.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
The campus is very secluded. It's surrounded by a lake, an agriculture farm, the Potter House, and a cemetery, so it feels very protected and away from outside danger. Campus security is always checking to make sure that everything is safe and guards the gate at night to make sure that everybody who comes on campus is supposed to be there.
