Review of East Texas Baptist University

from Mesquite, TX

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

The professors will push you and sincerely have great care and concern for your grades as well as your personal life. We are required to take Old as well as New Testament which is enhancing my knowledge of the Lord. Being here is not just about learning facts but it is about learning to apply what you learn in and outside of the classroom.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

The friends I have made here are unbelievable. They guide me spiritually as well as challenge my walk with the LORD. ETBU offers many opportunities to get involved. Being involved with BSM gets us out into the community to just love on the people who live in and around Marshall. ETBU has gone beyond my expectations.

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

The price tag for ETBU is indeed high, but the admissions office has done everything in their will to make it possible to go. My tuition is so cheap my parents nor I have taken out a loan and we are paying out of pocket. If you are looking into ETBU but the price tag scares you away just know admissions will fight for you to come. (I didn't mark 5 stars because I am still paying some money).

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Just come. The community here is wonderful. People truly desire to get to know you. The campus is small so it is just like one huge family who loves one another. I am missing ETBU so much right now. Also do not go home all the time. You form relationships on the weekends so if you are always going home you will be miserable.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Christians who are in desire of a school built on the faith of Jesus, students who want to go to a smaller school but not a small school, students who desire accountability, students who desire to be themselves (we have some odd styles), students who want to get out into the community to serve, and anyone who desires to be a ETBU Tiger!
