    Tips for prospective students

    Ask tons of questions! If you think that you have asked enough questions, you haven't. Ask them if you have left anything out. DBU staff is so kind and caring and they LOVE to answer those questions. Better to have too much information when making a decision rather than not enough information and go in blind. Good Luck!
    Great for these types of students

    DBU is an awesome school! The campus is full of life and the teachers constantly emphasize Christ's love. The school would be great for students who are wanting to pursue a degree in Music or Education. I highly recommend those two departments. The teachers are passionate about what they are teaching and love their students. If you are a student and want to pursue Music or become a teacher, this is definitely the school for you!

    Will learn a lot

    Looks like a great place to be, and is perfect for pursuing my call to Ministry.
    Will enjoy being here

    Great atmosphere, and the people care.
    Bang for the buck

    Expensive for me, but I know that I serve a God that controls finances.
    Tips for prospective students

    Just pray up, and seek God as to if He would have you go here. These guys at DBU prayed over my application, read over it, and sought out God's decision. It's a great school with wonderful people.

    Am learning a lot

    I am a sophomore in the Music Business program. DBU has an incredibly special program that is growing as people learn of its exceptional merit. It is the only program of its kind. We are taught by professors who have been in the music business world for years and have decided to come teach us everything we know. From lawyers to former performers, you will receive the best musical education from the best of the best.
    Am enjoying being here

    I absolutely love my college experience. At times, its unfortunate that there aren't more ways to get involved on campus, but when you find what you like, it's awesome. The campus is gorgeous, and it is an awesome place. I wish there was more on campus, though, like maybe a coffee shop or restaurant.
    Bang for the buck

    Yes, it is amazing education, but (speaking as a student who has to pay out of my own pocket) it is incredibly difficult to pay sometimes.
    Tips for prospective students

    Apply for as many scholarships as you can! It's well worth your time. Also, make sure that you're coming here because of your field of study. We have an amazing music program, Biblical studies program and education program, but I think everything else is mediocre and you could probably go somewhere else and save a lot of money and get the same standard of education.
    Great for these types of students

    Hard-working, determined. It's all about what you want to study!

    Academic Rigor

    my professors are all so knowledgable, and passionate about what they teach!
    Am enjoying being here

    I have made so many friends here and met so many like-minded people. I am doing well in my classes and am enjoying learning so much! There are so many activities to get involved in, and always something to do. My favorite part, though, is how God is moving so evidently here.
    Bang for the buck

    honestly, it's expensive. that's the biggest (and really only) complaint i hear over and over. however, it's workable. i'm paying for my education entirely on my own. i've recieved a lot of financial aid, but also have a job on campus that is really helping me get through all my payments. i really think dbu is worth it. and you are called by god to be here, he will prepare a way! his will, his bill.
    Tips for prospective students

    apply early, and apply for every scholarship you think you may qualify for. if you have any intrest in pursuing any kind of christian ministy, apply for the ministerial grant. apply for the christian leadership scholarship, as it is a sure way to take a nice chunk of the cost of the tuition.
    Great for these types of students

    great for students who are tired of being just students who are christians, and want to be christian students. great for students that are craving a family and a body of believers to be surrounded by. great for students hungry for the truth.

    Am learning a lot

    DBU is one of the few schools you can get challenged to grow not only intellectually but spiritually as well. All the classes challenge you to think at the next level as well as aid you in maturing into the person you want to be in the future.
    Am enjoying being here

    Campus life is great! Get involved with as much as you can and you won't regret it. The fraternities here are great and really give you a sense of brotherhood. And the Patriots are incredible at Baseball!
    Bang for the buck

    Though Dallas Baptist University is a bit on the expensive side, there are ways to pay for it. DBU is more than generous in its scholarship awards. Make sure to apply for your Christian Leadership Scholarship.
    Tips for prospective students

    Make sure to apply for the Christian Leadership Scholarship because it does cover a fair amount of the cost. Make sure to visit campus and get a feel for the campus before coming here. Make sure to go to SWAT which is the orientation week, so that you can get to know your peers before classes start.
    Great for these types of students

    Students who enjoy the some what cozy campus feel. Students who are involved in the Christian faith will like it here. Students who love Dallas will like it here. And students who want to be able to get a hold of their professors will love it here.

    I love it! My RA is awesome and everyone is very nice.
    Bang for the buck

    The tuition has increased but it is totally worth it. They have a great staff and awesome activities for student life body.
    Tips for prospective students

    Buy books online from amazon, chegg, textbooks.com. Books at all & any campus are ridiculouslly expensive from the bookstore. Attend everything at S.W.A.T becuase that is were you meet a lot of people plus, it's fun!
    Great for these types of students

    Great for all types of students! As long as you believe in God because the education is Christ centered which I love!!!! =)

    The teachers at DBU not only teach you skills for your studies and career, they also teach you about life. I am learning so much about my studies, life, and God.

    I enjoy all of the activities and friendships I have developed while attending Dallas Baptist University. If you're a student who wants to have a good, clean time, while learning all you can, DBU is the place for you!
    Bang for the buck

    DBU is a top-notch school. Students not only receive a wonderful education, Student Life creates a large number of social events, many of which are free to students!
    Tips for prospective students

    When applying for DBU, ask about the Christian Leadership Scholarship.
    Great for these types of students

    Tips for prospective students

    Apply for as many scholarships as you possibly can and don't be afraid to ask for help with anything.

    Am learning a lot

    Since coming to DBU, I have learned a lot more about my intended area of work. The professors are friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to help students better understand the curriculum. I know that what I am learned here is exactly what I need to know for my future career and the more I learn, the better prepared I feel for the future.
    Am enjoying being here

    I love DBU! The faculty, from the teachers to the lunch crew, and the students are friendly, accepting, and fun to be around. There are so many different kinds of people from different cultures and family backgrounds from all around the world. The events are well planned and so much fun and the whole feeling of being on campus is one that just makes you happy to be there.
    Bang for the buck

    Like any college, DBU is expensive, but well worth the money. Financial aid will work with all the students to get them any available scholarships and work out payment plans to help take the stress off of paying for college.
    Tips for prospective students

    The best tip I can give is to come visit the campus. Once you are there, you'll know if it is right for you or not.
    Great for these types of students

    DBU is a great place for students who want to find what they want to do with their lives and then work towards that goal. It is a place where servant-leaders are developed and the love of Christ is all around; so for students who are looking for a place filled with support and encouragement, as well as a place to be challenged and grow in every area of their lives, DBU is the place to be.

    Am learning a lot

    To be honest I haven't learned too much here. I have learned a lot in some classes but not as much as other college students. I feel as if I am back in high school again. My high school was actually harder and more challenging. However, once you complete your basic courses and go more in depth into courses that are for your major you learn a lot more. It depends on who your professor is if you want to get the best education.
    Am enjoying being here

    Overall DBU is great school. The people are really nice for the most part. There are occasional exceptions. The weekends are dead most of the times because most of the students go home. However, student life does work hard to make the campus more involved. Also a lot of the students go off campus because there are shops 5-10 minutes away. Also if you join a sorority/fraternity there are opportunities to have fun.
    Bang for the buck

    Considering that this is a private school it's relatively cheap. With scholarships and financial aid I'm paying less then my friend at University of Texas. The campus is gorgeous and the facilities are nice.
    The dorms aren't as expensive as other universities and they are nice.
    The food isn't that great though for what you pay for.
    Tips for prospective students

    Make sure you do well on SAT/ACT
    Get involved with community service
    Keep grades high for scholarships

    Dallas Baptist University does a great job of integrating faith and learning which aids in giving a quality education. The campus is beautiful and the people create a great environment to learn. DBU is definitely one of my favorite places.
    Tips for prospective students

    I would suggest that prospective students really know what they want to do before coming to school here. The cost of the school makes it very hard on people who switch majors in the middle of their college career.
    Academic Rigor

    I would say that DBU has a very challenging but rewarding academic program that really challenges the students to become all that they are capable of becoming.
    Dorm Life

    The dorms are all very clean and the students are well taken care of throughout their stay. However, their are some strict rules placed on students in the dorms.
    Food and Dining

    I would say that the dining hall is not great. However, their food is much better than many other dining halls.
    What to do for fun

    There is not a whole lot of activities to do for fun on campus. However, they provide social events, sports activities, and a loft for students to hang out in.
    Bang for the buck

    DBU is very expensive but they truly do give the student a quality education to their students.
    Great for these types of students

    DBU is great for Education majors, Music majors, and Business majors.
    Campus Safety

    DBU is the safest place that I have ever been. Students always feel safe with the security system and abundance of lighting.

    Dallas Baptist University is by far the best college that I have attended. The professors are definitely well equipped in their fields and are able to teach on a level that works for all students. The student life on the campus is full of fun activities and inviting.
    Tips for prospective students

    As long as you do the work in the classes you will get your money's worth. There are so many different activities going on all over the campus and the more you can get involved the more people you will meet and the more you'll enjoy your college experience.
    Academic Rigor

    Definitely a five out of five. I've learned exactly what I needed to be equipped in my field of study and I am excited to head to the world after college.
    Dorm Life

    All though I have not lived on campus at this university I know many who do and I have heard nothing but great things.
    Food and Dining

    The food is always really good and there is a great variety. It doesn't taste like cafeteria food that no one wants to eat.
    What to do for fun

    From joining clubs, going to the rec center for swimming, to all the other activities on campus, DBU has something for everyone. I highly recommend this college to anyone who may or may not be considering it as their university.

    Great school with a warm, friendly atmosphere. Very Christ-centered in everything they do. Also really helpful with scholarships and financial aid.
    Tips for prospective students

    Apply for tons of financial aid, live in the dorms, and go to the Writing center for English class help!
    Academic Rigor

    It wasn't really hard if you went to class and did your homework. They've made a few classes like Biology for non-majors easier.
    Dorm Life

    Okay. The floors get gross so get a rug and a vacuum cleaner. Spence is best for girls who like quite, Crowley is more fun and better for making friends. Can't have a microwave or coffee maker in there room though.
    Food and Dining

    Sodexo is the only food provider on campus. Get the ten-meals-a-week dining plan and plan on driving five minutes to chick-fil-a or starbucks a couple times a week.
    What to do for fun

    It's Dallas! There's a lot going on.
    On campus: inter mural sports are fun, there are student life events, and coke breaks. Epic annual capture-the-flag game.

    Off-campus: check out a Ranger's game, go to Six Flags (we get student discounts). Go dancing at Sons of Herman hall on Wednesday night or hit up the Dallas Museum of Art. There is usually coming happening in Deep Elum or over at Fair Park.
    Bang for the buck

    Great help with financial aid-- good school for less money (for a private school anyway).
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    Lots of reasons for candle lighting-- that's actually kind of nice.
    Great for these types of students

    Christian students. People who don't mind a small school and a little hard work. You do have to go to chapel, but they get good speakers and put together a solid worship team.
    Clubs and Activities

    There is a lot going on on campus, but many of the activities are centered around service projects. It's fun though and a great way to meet new people.
    Greek Life

    Yep.
    Campus Safety

    Super-safe with gates and security and speed bumps. Yay...
