Samford University

Today I got in my car after class to head to work, when I realized that my battery in my car was dead. I was happy to find on the Samford website that campus safety offers car services like jumping off and unlocking cars. I called campus safety, and there was someone to help me in a matter of minutes. I made it to work on time and was happy to see that my car was running safely. Thank you Samford for offering these services.

Greatest university in the world! Proud member of the Samford family where faith and a higher education are treated with class and respect! Over 5,000 future leaders and difference makers attend this school.

What a beautiful campus. I recently moved here from the west coast and could not have been more impressed with the facilities here! If you are an incoming student or prospective student, I can’t say enough about how amazing this place truly is! #GoDogs

This place is obviously imperfect with imperfect people, but it is full of high quality people that will change your life for the better if you are open to it. Most students that come here are hardworking, driven people that expect the best from themselves and the world. The campus dining choices are delicious, but most students get tired of it after eating it all the time for the first year. Most of the faculty and staff are driven and motivated to be the best, as well. You will find weaknesses, but all-​in-​all it is a solid community that cultivates great education for the betterment of the world. Most students come and establish quality friendships that last a lifetime since the majority of students only know a handful of people coming in. One can say the campus is homogenous, but you get people from all the around the country and world to get to know and share life with. The athletics are not amazing, but entertaining enough. Most people still come in and cheer on the major state school they have been loyal to since they were babies. Step Sing is by far the single biggest and most important alumni draw each year in the beginning of February. It is super safe and easy to get around. Oh yeah, and the campus is beautiful; especially with Christmas decorations.

I took a class here this summer. That is it, I think Ananda said it all.

I love samford… What an ideal little community! Perfect georgian architecture, green manicured campus, belltowers and marble stairs in the library. Everybody is just so nice! Its definitely a bastion of conservative-​ness, so if you think differently, you will risk an attempted «witnessing» experience. Its very white, suburban, and gentrified, but there are attempts to change that. Plus, as a college student, its nice to find something to push away from to find your own identity. Academically, the lower level courses aren’t too challenging, save the amazing english/​philosophy/​history classes I got to take for core credit/​electives. The upperclass courses were challenging, but the teachers always approachable and the grades achievable with appropriate effort. I’m talking of my own experience, primarily in Biology/​Chemistry/​Physics classes. The religion department at this conservative baptist school is slightly liberal (only by Alabama standards), but in a wonderful way that opens many fundamentalist minds.
I met my husband and many friends here, and I loved it. :)
