Categories Comments What to do for fun There are many things on campus that one could do for fun. We have a huge multiplex where you could go and play tennis, racquetball, basketball, pool, air hockey, and Foosball. But if you just want o get away from it all, you could always just go and take a nap on the couch in the TV room, or just sit and watch your favorite shows!
Food and Dining The food on the campus is better than anticipated. Of course we have a regular cafeteria, but we also have a Cafe', and a grille to eat at if by chance you get tired of cafeteria food!
Dorm Life Although I do not stay on campus, from what I hear dorm life on campus is super fun!! Everyone knows each other and it's just a good overall environment. I really wish i could afford to live on campus!
Academic Rigor Although Faulkner University is a small school, their courses are as hard as most of the big universities in Alabama.
Tips for prospective students If you are looking to attend Faulkner University, make sure you get to know all of your professors on a good basis because they really want to do all they can to help you succeed.
In three sentences Faulkner University is overall a good school. They have good christian values, and they also care about there students well being. Faulkner University is a great school for those who are needing that close one on one attention with their professors.

Categories Comments Greek Life faulkner does offer a greek life program, but the sororities/fraternities on campus are not national panhellenic groups.
Bang for the buck as a private school, faulkner's tuition is rather expensive. however, when compared to other private schools, faulkner's tuition is comparable.
What to do for fun if you come from a small town like i did, montgomery will seem like a huge city. there are lots of restaurants, movie theaters, concerts, and other fun events in downtown that college students seem to enjoy.
Food and Dining the cafeteria offers a variety of meal options. the school also has a grille in the gym and two coffee shops, one outside of the cafeteria and one in the law school.
Dorm Life i do not live on campus, so i'm not really qualified to review the dorm life. however, from what i have heard from others who do live on campus, dorm living is acceptable.
Academic Rigor the professors are very friendly and eager to help, but in law school, students are expected to learn the material very well and be able to write multiple essays on any given topic as well as being able to answer a large amount of multiple choice questions. typically, your grade in each class comes completely from the final exam.
Tips for prospective students if interested in law school, signing up for a tour of the school is a great way to meet a few students and faculty members. i definitely recommend starting early with applications because scholarships are awarded based on the students who are already admitted and are evaluated starting in january of each academic year.
In three sentences faulkner university is a great location for students in the montgomery area. it offers several degree programs, including the law school where i am currently enrolled.

In three sentences As a working adult, it was intimidating to wade through the registration process. I was pleasantly surprised by how nice and helpful everyone was and it was all fairly painless. I am now looking forward to the first day of class.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Don't depend on security for anything. Security would rather catch you breaking the rules than protect you. Get some mace.
Greek Life Social clubs are Faulkner's form of Greek life. They are great and you will make lots of new friends. There is a club for everyone and pledge week is so much fun. Don't let anyone scare you away Bid a club and go through pledge week or NEMO.
Clubs and Activities Lots of clubs! Join one! Our running club is an awesome way to stay in shape and meet friends!
Great for these types of students Great for Students wanting a Bible degree. Not for females wanting a Bible degree.
Bang for the buck Way to expensive for a degree from a relatively unknown University.
What to do for fun Social Clubs are great! Get a job! There isn't much to do!
Food and Dining The food is terrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dorm Life Living on campus you will have a curfew until the age of 20. Boys are not allowed in girls dorms and girls are not allowed in boys. The girls under 20 dorms are very nice but the rules make it seem like a prison. The on campus apartments are great but boys and girls are not allowed in each others bed rooms and must be out of the opposite genders apartment by midnight.
Academic Rigor Classes are not easy but are not hard either. You must be willing to try to pass. Bible classes seem to be a waste to most students but are required. The Education Department is great but is extremely tough. If you miss more than 7 class you get an F no questions asked! REMEMBER THAT!
Tips for prospective students Do not attend this school only to play a sport. The rules are harsh for most freshman and you will not be allowed to live the college life without consequences. Research the Church of Christ before coming to know their beliefs or you will be lost. Be prepared to have a dress code and follow it. No Alcohol! EVER! not on or off campus! Faulkner expects you to follow the rules at all times! AKA...no bikinis at the beach! No PDA or anything EVER with the opposite sex! You get caught you go home!
In three sentences Faulkner is a great school for students planning to major in Bible. Faulkner's spiritual life is great for students growing up in a Church of Christ family. I would not suggest Faulkner to students wanting to major in anything else.
