Lipscomb University

Visiting the campus where my husband spent 4 years earning his bachelor’s degree. We visit at least every other year. The grounds are beautiful, especially in the spring and fall. Today, there are flowers in bloom all around and we’re sitting on a swing smelling the roses. We love to come back with the kids and there are plenty of places for them to run and play.
The building additions in the past 10 years are impressive. There are many updates and new constructions. I didn’t graduate from lipscomb but each time I’m on the campus I wish I had.
My husband made life long friends here and enjoyed his classes. It was a good knowledge and faith building environment for him in early adulthood. Those good memories and his excitement to share them with me keep us coming back.

College Visit Time
Our son is a junior this year and this is one of the colleges he is considering. We scheduled a campus visit. The tour was from 10am to 4pm. It included touring the campus and dorms. The students sat in on a class while the parents met with the finance department to discuss financial aid options.
Everyone here was very friendly and welcoming. It made me want to go back to college and finish my degree and after our visit I might do just that. I have been on other campuses but none have been as comfortable or made you feel at home like the atmosphere on this campus.
The Bison Café has many different food choices. Yes they gave us free lunch and breakfast with our visit. I had nachos that I made myself with the chips, sour cream, chesse sauce, meat, and guacamole. I also snagged a few tater tots because they are one of my weaknesses. The food was great. That morning we had breakfast in the food court. There is a Chick-​fil-​A express, Blue Coast Burrito, and an Asian food place.
The students explained that there is always something going on in the middle of the campus and there was that day. There were inflatables to play on. Not the little ones but big ones for college age young adults. They were having fun. You can’t ask for a better environment for your college student.

I attended Lipscomb my first year of college. I wish I could have afforded it and liked it enough to stay but neither were in the equation. Go to rate my
for details lol. They have a very good Biology department, Math department is okay, and Chemistry department is weak. When I «rate» these it has NOTHING to do with how smart the teachers are. It is amazing how advanced every teacher is in their field. It has to do with HOW they teach. I was going for my molecular biology degree, and when I couldn’t enroll my second year I was devastated. I can only speak for the departments from which I had classes both semesters.
I do know that Lipscomb has a good engineering department. They built a brand new building when I was there– art was on the bottom floor I do believe.
It is placed in Green Hills a very beautiful part of Nashville. I used to run up and down the neighborhood streets! Nice gym and a lot to get involved in during the school year. Volleyball was my personal favorite! *spike*

Lipscomb… my alma mater. I figure, since my old school’s on Unilocal,I might as well give it a review. I spent four long years at Lipscomb, and I honestly learned a lot there. Say what you will about its religious affiliation, Lipscomb is a genuinely good school with some great teachers and a strong sense of community.
David Lipscomb was founded in 1890 primarily as a bible studies school for men who planned on becoming preachers. A lot has changed about Lipscomb over the past century, and, while they still require bible courses and chapel, their English and pharmaceutical programs (among others) are very strong.
Lipscomb is located on Granny White Pike just south of Nashville’s beautiful 12 South district, and the campus itself is fantastic. Lipscomb’s basketball team is usually quite good, and their famous Battle of the Boulevard (in which Lipscomb plays local rivals Belmont) is extremely popular. Lipscomb often holds events that are open to the community, and their Minnie Pearl comedy series has brought in such talented comedians as Bill Cosby, Sinbad and Jay Leno. Allen Arena (though I spent countless mornings there at chapel) is spacious and one of the best college arenas in the city.
If you’re thinking about enrolling at Lipscomb, it is certainly a college worthy of consideration. I studied journalism and English at DLU, and both programs were strong and full of brilliant, attentive professors. One thing that Lipscomb offers that a lot of colleges can’t these days is one-​on-​one teacher-​student interaction. They have a Presidential Scholarship (of which I was a recipient) as well as several other scholarships that really help students pay for their tuition (not exactly cheap). Say what you will about Lipscomb; I received a really good education there, and, while the student experience there might be a bit sheltered, it’s still a standout school and one of the best private universities in the state.
