“ACU is overall is very good school.Quite BrightJournalism
ACU is overall is very good school. I will admit that the typical stereotype is true (rich, from DFW, drives nice cars, sperry's, northface, coach purses everywhere, preppy, church of christ, far right, knows lots of people before coming to college, and the girls dressing cute for class) but that is not the case for everyone. i probably fall more into the stereotype, but I have a lot of friends that do not. ACU does not push the church of christ and i am not CofC and i have not been seen as an outcast. a lot of people have friends before they get to ACU, but everyone that i have met is open to meeting new people. the dorms are bigger then most, and the campus and clean and beautiful and the campus cops make you feel safe. the walking track is lit and has emergency buttons along the way and the cops are always patrolling. the faculty is AMAZING! they are always there to help, and like to get to know all the students and care for them! the work for me is not too much to bear, but is still challenging. and as for abilene, it can be boring at times. but fun is what you make it. there is more to do then drink! there's plenty of fun stuff to do with friends!!

“Everything in this schoolNot so bright
Everything in this school is revolved around christianity so you better make sure you are a true and dedicated christian before coming here. My personal review is that I absolutly hate it here and will do everything in my power to transfer.

“If you have parents with money, and youAveragePsychology
If you have parents with money, and you are a true christian, seeking christian friends and values this is the place for you.
However, if you going on little to no financial aide, and your parents do not have too much in their pockets, ACU will break you before the first semester is over. If you are a fareweather, pharisee type christian and you want to drink and engage in none Christ like behavior, ACU is not for you.Abilene Christian University is about Christ not partying...though they are pushing Christ to the side lines now a days....
