Abilene Christian University
“Abilene Christian University is an okay university.Quite BrightPolitical Science
Abilene Christian University is an okay university. The campus is prettier than I expected it to be for West Texas. The dorms are above average. But Abilene sucks- badly- and there is little to do except drink off campus on weekends. The faculty is EXTREMELY friendly and accessible, though I wish they were more scholarly and challenging. I found myself academically bored frequently. The students tend to not be especially intelligent and are rather closed-minded in their religious fervor. Very anti-gay, anti-feminist, anti-liberal. I drift from religious liberalism to secularism, so the religious students plus daily chapel plus 12 hours of required bible classes plus stupid fights over musical instruments in the church or women's roles in the newspaper drove me crazy.

Great for learning but some teachers push the Church of Christ religion on you even if you are not. Also, staff and some students are very close minded.

“I could have gone anywhere, and I'm gladAccounting
I could have gone anywhere, and I'm glad I chose ACU. I have never received negative comments about attending ACU. Places where I have interviewed have treated ACU with respect. ACU has played a huge part in my life. I had great friends who were a good influence. Most of my professors were a good value. I benefited from the emphasis on the spiritual. I was able to find a job quickly after graduation and was well prepared for public accounting. My understanding of the Church was expanded. So what should you do? Jump into ACU. Meet as many people as you can. Get out of your confort circle and meet people who are different. Be involved in a local congregation. Go on a mission trip. Learn. Take advantage of every opportunity. When it's over...it's over...so soak up all of it you can...and you will carry it with you for life.
