    Am learning a lot

    I am learning about so many things I didn't know existed. I am learning about the Babylonian number system, Mayan number system, and the eight-fold path from the Buddhist religion.
    Am enjoying being here

    I truly love this school! In almost every class I go, I am reminded that I owe everything to Jesus, and they do a good job of integrating Christian faith with education. Also, there are the basketball games, late night devos(devotionals), the annually spectacular dodgeball game, and so many fun things to do! There is always something you can do on campus.
    Bang for the buck

    Really, you do get your money's worth coming here. Though it is roughly $20,000 for tuition a year, it is worth every cent. Usually home games are free for students, food is always free if there's an activity going on, and the food in the Bison cafe is amazing. Also, the guidance counselors are always there to help you when you ask. They're great!
    Tips for prospective students

    I would highly recommend that you make the most out of your college experience. Get involved in a club, go to the games, support the sports teams. Also, it's better to study for your mid-terms/finals in advance. It's not like high school were you can get by only by showing up to class. Most of the learning takes place outside of class, so you might as well make the most of your time.
    Great for these types of students

    If you are motivated, then you will love this school. Also, if you are looking to be challenged, then you will definitely love it here too. Christian students who are devoutly Christian would also benefit from coming here. It's great for students who want to grow in Spirit.

    The academic program here at Lipscomb is phenomenal. The faculty and staff are all really great about getting to know the students and are quick to offer help and assistance. Most of the full-time professors have the highest degree possible in their field of expertise. The work is hard and challenging, and the teachers really expect you to prove yourself in class and on assignments. It is a great experience for those who thrive on challenge!
    Lipscomb is a Church of Christ affiliated school and they stand firm upon Christian values and beliefs. Lipscomb takes pride in knowing its students are followers of Christ. Lipscomb is quick to open its doors to members of all faiths, without being judgmental. Students will have the opportunity to learn in a clean, high-moral environment, while receiving a top-notch education.
    When it comes to class schedules, I highly recommend taking a class with Dr. Richard Goode. He teaches history and is a favorite among all students. Lipscomb also recently added a 4-year pharmacy school to their academic programs.

    Am enjoying being here

    I love Lipscomb! The people, the atmosphere, the social activities, the academics - Lipscomb is just a great place to be. I have made many friends here that I know will be friends for life. Lipscomb's Student Government Association plans 4-5 activities per semester to help students stay involved on campus. The biggest event SGA planned in the 2010 fall semester was Lipscomb's first Paint Rave. With over 600 students in attendance, the rave was a huge success! Also, Garner Goode with Lipscomb in Motion (the student life events planner), has events on the school calendar almost every night. From free food in Arlo's to a movie night in Alumni Auditorium, students are never without access to a good time. Social clubs (Lipscomb's alternative to sororities/fraternities) and athletic events also give students a chance to interact outside of the classroom and spend time together. Lipscomb's service clubs give students the chance to enjoy some of the same aspects of a social club, while finding ways to give back to the community.
    Lipscomb is located in Nashville, giving students total access to the famous, music city. Within minutes of the Grand Ole Opry, Opryland, Green Hills mall, Sweet CeCe's and so much more, students are able to have fun off campus without having to use up a lot of gas.
    Bang for the buck

    At almost $31,000 a year per student, the cost is feasible when compared to the education Lipscomb offers. The amount mentioned above includes tuition, room and board, student fees and other random charges.
    In room and board, you pay a certain amount based upon what dorm you live in and whether you have a single or double room. I live in Elam Hall and it's great! The dorms are kept clean and maintenance is really good about fixing problems (leaky facets, burned out light bulbs, squeaky doors, etc) quickly. Besides picking what dorm you'll live in, you will also choose what meal plan you want. The Bison Herd (210 meals + 15 floating meals) is the standard meal plan for most college students. It averages out to be 2 meals per day with a little extra to spend throughout the semester. Also, flex dollars can be added to the meal plan to use in the store or student center food court.
    Student fees and other charges include stuff like a pass to the Student Activity Center (gym and work-out center), free admission to all athletic games held on campus, parking fees and free admission to various activities that may come up throughout the semester.
    Books are not included in the $31,000, however, you can usually find your books for each semester for $500 or less. Amazon or AbeBooks sells many of the books you will need for history, English, Bible, etc. at a reduced cost. If you cannot find them online, you can always rent or buy them from Lipscomb's bookstore.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you are considering Lipscomb, you're on the right track! Make sure you visit www.golipscomb.com to find out more information about admission, scholarships and financial aid. One of the things I love best about Lipscomb's admission process is that you don't have to write any essays! (Yea! We all know how much high school students are not interested in writing more essays!) Instead of an essay, Lipscomb asks prospective students to go through an interview. It was super easy and a lot of fun. The admission recruiters at Lipscomb are the best, hands down! They are lively, fun and energetic, and ready to answer any question you may have. And don't forget to visit campus! The best way to find out if Lipscomb is right for you is to walk around campus and imagine yourself living there. Lipscomb has many dates set aside for interested students to come visit the school. That information can also be found at www.golipscomb.com. And when you come to visit, don't forget your purple and gold!
    Great for these types of students

    Lipscomb University is a great place for students who like to challenge themselves academically, but still want to find time to relax and chill with friends. The faith background of Lipscomb gives Christian students the chance to be open about their beliefs without feeling ridiculed. Lipscomb is considered to be a more liberal Church of Christ university than others, which can play a small part in the decision process.

    The courses at Lipscomb are no joke. Strenuous and fast paced, the work and the professors will keep you on your toes.
    Am enjoying being here

    I couldn't stand the size of certain other campuses I visted (like Kennesaw State). The size of Lipscomb's campus is perfect for those who want an easy transition into college life. Not only is the campus the perfect size it also has the best activities for any mood you might be in. The food is superb and the recently added Chick-Fil-A is my favorite of all the fast food places on campus. The surrounding area is perfect for riding bikes or running and Nashville is a college town so you will never be bored. There is always something to do. I have 3 more years to go at Lipscomb and I'm gonna love every step of the journey.
    Bang for the buck

    Don't get me wrong. Lipscomb is a prestigious school. It's all in the price tag. The money I am paying is worth it though. The SGA and the College Ministry Team are always providing free food or some kind of fun activity for the students.

    Am learning a lot

    All I have really taken so far is a bunch of gen. eds. so none of my classes have really been all that difficult. Although, I have a feeling that will be changing next year when I get more into my major.
    Am enjoying being here

    I love all of the people I've met at Lipscomb so far. The campus has a good sense of community, except on the weekends. Our campus is kind of dead on the weekends most of the time because there is a lot for students to do in Nashville, so nobody really wants to stay on campus. During the week though, there is always something going on in Bison Square or the Student Center.
    Bang for the buck

    I'm not the biggest fan of paying about $30,000 a year for anything.
    Tips for prospective students

    Visit the campus. No matter what school you're looking at, never make your final decision without visiting the campus during the school year. Lipscomb is the perfect fit for me, but you'll never know if its the perfect fit for you until you see it for yourself.
    Great for these types of students

    Lipscomb is a great place for students who want to be engulfed in a Christian environment and want to grow closer to spend a lot of time focusing on their faith.

    Lipscomb is definitely the place to be if you want a thorough education with professors who are in love with their work. Being a biology major is especially beneficial because our biology department sends over 90 percent of its students to med school! Outside of the science department is just as amazing, and I have already learned a lot in just two semesters.
    Am enjoying being here

    The people surrounding you on campus are full of good character. Once you find your core group of people, it's easy to just hang out in the student center, but at the same time, it is not limiting in that you can't extend past those people. Clubs are all around you, as well.
    Bang for the buck

    Although Lipscomb costs more money than most state schools, it is worth it. There is practically everything you need on campus. Some facilities could be enhanced, but the board has already addressed these issues and have plans of action coming soon.
    Tips for prospective students

    Don't be discouraged by the small campus. It's such a great experience once you throw yourself in the mix.
    Great for these types of students

    Lipscomb is great for education-oriented students, for students who want to enhance their faith, and for students who want to be a part of a lively campus.

    Lipscomb is a great university. The location of the university is superb! Nashville is a big town with a small town feel. There is always something to do!
    Lipscomb itself is great. Everyone is so friendly. It is hard NOT to make friends.
    It is big enough for it to feel like a university, but small enough where your professors know you by your name and not a number.

    I have been here 2 years and have not learned anything. Thankfully some professors at other schools in the area are letting me audit their classes so I do not completely waste these last years of my college career.
    Am enjoying being here

    Unless you buy your friends through social clubs you are nobody here. I am highly disappointed in the school and the character of most of the people here.
    Bang for the buck

    You would be better off going to a state school and spending the money you saved on grad school. I am on a full ride scholarship. But, if I had it to do over again I would gladly pay out of pocket to go somewhere else.
    Tips for prospective students

    Do not go to Lipscomb University.
    Great for these types of students

    18-20 year old students with parents that have enough money to buy their child's degree assuming the student is not intelligent enough to earn the degree at a real higher education institution.

    Am learning a lot

    When I enrolled in Lipscomb University, I honestly did not think that I was prepared for college at all. But I have learned so much here, and the teachers are more than happy to work with students whenever they need help with anything. I've learned more than I ever thought possible about my chosen major.
    Am enjoying being here

    Being at Lipscomb University is a great experience. There is always something going on for the students to get involved in, and I have made some of the best friends while I've been here. It's a small school, small enough that you can know just about everyone in the same major but large enough that you're not stuck sitting in your room at night. It is a wonderful school with plenty of opportunities for everyone.
    Bang for the buck

    The tuition here at Lipscomb is higher than most schools in Tennessee, but it's definitely worth it. I've gotten a great education and met some amazing people while I've been here. The professors know what they're teaching and actually care about it, so that pretty much guarantees that your education will be a good one.
    Tips for prospective students

    Study, most definitely! Classes aren't easy here in the slightest, and you will be challenged in most everything you take. Also, become friends with the professors - they're people too, and they're always happy to talk to students about anything. And don't take too many hours your first semester; get a feel for college life first.
    Great for these types of students

    Anyone wanting to study in the sciences or in ministry. Lipscomb has a great science program and a pharmacy school, and our Bible department is top notch. But anyone is welcome here no matter what your major!
