California Baptist University

California Baptist University, in Riverside, has a Sunday morning buffet. The cost is only $ 12.50. We have been to this buffet on Sundays on a few occasions. The food is wonderful. You have your choice of omelets, chicken, waffles, sushi, pizza and much much more. Drinks and desserts are also included in the price. Make sure you go between 9am and 9:30 am because it can get crowded.

If I had the option to give this «school» 0 stars I would! I would never encourage anyone to go to California Baptist University for numerous reasons.
1. They charge 16,000 a semester and force you to take a whole semesters worth of Christian classes. Who in the heck wants to pay 16,000 for a school and learn about something that is completely WORTHLESS in the future. Unless you want to be a pastor, this school is not for you.
2. Their academics are a load of crap! Every class I took required no effort and taught me absolutely nothing! I feel like I just spent 16,000 to go listen to numerous different preachers and occasionally do some reading and writing. They do everything that’s in class and should be IN CLASS online. What kind of self improvement can you achieve from being able to cheat on every assignment and test? In addition to the lack of effort it takes to complete any course with an A+ they give you opportunities at the end to fix all of your half as*ed work!
3. They have less parking spots than they give out in permits so if you plan to live on campus then expect 20+ parking tickets by the end of the semester! All of the public safety workers are WORTHLESS. A CBU employee door dinged my car and they refused to show me the tape with the proof and stated, «they didn’t find anything», I am currently pursuing them in court over this.
4. Parents: if you want to spend good money to send your kid to church then this is the place because they won’t learn a thing. I would suggest La Sierra University as a great Christian school where I am currently working extremely hard to achieve exemplary academic standing. There, you can practice your faith AND learn useful knowledge for your future.
5. The on campus food stinks! They have a little restaurant called Brisco’s and a dining hall with only 2 restaurants. During orientation the served marvelously prepared meals, but once school actually started they serve high school cafeteria foo and only give small portions.
I have so many more complaints about this phones institution and sad excuse for a school, however. I’ve got actual homework to do. Listen or not, you’ll see when you graduate and can’t find a job because you didn’t learn a thing.

This is a tough one, since my experience on the campus is a hair limited.
I come here intermittently to work in the basketball indoor arena.
In the process, though, I think I get a feel for the campus.
The entrance is a lovely little parking stand where someone (usually quite friendly) ushers you in, and then the one main road through campus is littered with massive speed bumps to give pedestrians some safety.
The buildings are mostly low (2 – 3 stories max, it appears), and there is ample vegetation to give the fairly modern-​looking buildings (more stucco than brick) a little bit of an outdoor feel.
Parking is free, which I always appreciate, and very close to my destination.
The on-​campus wifi is free and pretty darn reliable.
I haven’t ventured into any of the other buildings. I’ll update the review if I ever do.

I will be graduating CBU fairly soon, and although my overall experience here at CBU has been pleasant, I wont be returning for my masters degree.
For the price students pay for tuition, I dont like having to wait longer than a week for my emails to be returned, nor do I like having to follow up repeatedly. I understand their workload, and in no way do I fault the staff. CBU please remember, the OPS program is geared towards WORKING ADULTS who cannot have normal face to face contact with the staff. Therefore a 1 –2 day response time by email or telephone is imperative.
Also, there has to be a better way for OPS students to get their textbooks from the bookstore. The process of having to take off work, go to student accounts to get this tiny piece of paper, then going to the bookstore to get my books is a bit of a headache. I work an 8 to 5 at a community college and cant make it to Student Accounts before 6 without taking off work.
What I did like about CBU:
The faith based classes
The class availability
The small classes
What I didnt like about CBU:
The unequipped staff
The main campus is very high school like

Interesting school… Generally kind, and excessively grand. Delicious cafeteria food, helpful faculty, a God-​loving atmosphere, and a beautiful campus. There are many groups of study that vary in greatness. So do your research, and don’t just come here based on the amount of money they throw at you.
Very clean campus, and constantly remodeled streets. I enjoy going here, I recommend that if you want to become closer to God, and graduate from a «Private University», you’d come here.
It’s also very expensive, you’ll be paying it off for years.

I am a loyal Lancer. I graduated from CBU with my bachelors degree in psychology, and I’m now a few months away from graduating from CBU with my masters degree on counseling psychology with an MFT concentration. So my review might be slightly biased: p
My experience at CBU has been absolutely wonderful. I love the Christian principles that are integrated into the classroom and displayed by both students and staff. The environment is positive and educational. The professors in the counseling program are amazing, and true followers of Christ. I can’t imagine getting my education elsewhere. CBU is very expensive, but when it comes to your education it is definitely worth it! You don’t want to get a degree and not be competent in your major. Many college students graduate and don’t get a lot out of their degree. But at CBU the professors care about giving you the best education possible so that you can strive and succeed in life. Check out CBU you won’t be disappointed! It is an amazing university.

Wow. Today was orientation for 2 of my daughters going into Their first year of college.
Right from the get go, we were welcomed by friendly staff, they make sure that you get the help you need, there is a couple staff members in every corner making sure you don’t get lost. They all have a smile.
Being that many so called Christian universities are loosing their faith in Christ by hiring none Christian teachers and office staff who they want to make sure our kids get deviated from the truth, it seems to me that CBU stands on the truth, will see.
Nevertheless the campus treated us with outmost respect, not to mention their amazing restaurant with amazing food, talk about all you can eat. OMG superb.!!
I am exited for my children.
Long story short, it has been an answer to our prayers. Praise be to God.

Academically the school is great. However trying to deal with student advising or financial aid is a joke. Paperwork, transcripts, or general help is difficult to get once you are a registered student. They roll out the red carpet when you enroll – however you are soon left on your own once you are a student. Academic advising has been little to no help when trying to get transcripts processed or prepare for the upcoming school year.

The student cafeteria is open to the public on Sundays. After church at Harvest Christian Fellowship, we pop over here to CBU for an awesome brunch. Great family atmosphere, young kids are welcome to browse the all you can eat buffet bars with their parents. Super kid friendly food; our granddaughter loves it here! The made to order omelet is always a hit, as is the make your own custom waffle! Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Come on over… You’ll be glad you did!

The campus is breathtakingly beautiful and the staff is so friendly. This school has expanded so much in the past ten years. They have added a huge rec center with all state of the art equipment. The campus is well maintained, clean, well groomed and gives off such a positive vibe.

Provider is the food service team that prepares the food for CBU and the Market Broiler.

Well if you enjoy being treated like a highschooler for your college life than this is the place for you. There rules are crazy, like they give us dress codes to abide by and the opposite sex can only visit you two times a week even if it is your own parent!

This is the best of the best!!! Normal people attending college with values and thank goodness a dress Code!!! Love the way this place treats students and parents and their reverence to God!!! Go lancers!!!

The OPS program hires professors that are part time and it appears that they do not understand the operations and procedures of the universities. I was considering attending the masters program after I got my undergrad degree, but I changed my mind. If you have an issue with your account, you need to see the traditional departments where they will treat you like you are an 18 year old recent high school grad. The people in these departments will talk down to you and lie to you because they are unaware of the content of the student handbook. If you point it out that they are WRONG and that the information that they just told you is a bold face LIE they will give you an attitude and not an apology.
The main problem with this college is that they market their OPS program to older adults who want to expand their careers with higher education. The problem occurs when they treat these older adults like little kids and hold these adults to the same expectations as first year freshmen (or recent high school grads).
If you want my business you are going to have to treat me with the respect of an adult who has a little more life experience and very little patience for nonsense. For the price that I paid to attend college there, I expected a little more organization. Instead it seemed like the OPS program and the traditional college were not unified, making attending the college nothing short of a nightmare.
Oh, and if you have a complaint about the way you are treated you will have to wait for weeks and weeks on end… calling and calling to find out the outcome of your complaint only for the person who «handles that» to call you back and say, «now, …what do you need again»?
BTW-​its an average of $ 20,000 a year if your an undergrad. So for $ 80 000 in student loans do you really want to be treated like an idiot? Or to be taught by professors who have NO IDEA what is going on? Save your money and attend another college.

I am not a student, I just go for the food.
In addition to a great cafeteria they also have a great library. It’s quiet, clean, and not overrun by vagrants. The campus is beautiful too.

Not going to lie, it’s a private university so it’s pretty expensive. However, the campus life is awesome, the staff and faculty really take the time to answer questions and meet you outside of class if you need, and almost all teachers I’ve had are awesome and really passionate about what they are teaching. I would definitely recommend. Plus they have one of the best cafeterias I’ve ever seen at a college campus, and the new gym that is free to all students and their spouses is incredible!

Do NOT come here! It is like a jail! They real you in with all these great opportunities but its all lies! They have so much grey areas that they do not tell you about! They shove god down your throat and then have some of the rudest people there! You will regret coming here!

I am not a student here. I have just visited the counseling center off of Adams and the 91 fwy. The counseling center is absolutely awesome! And the rates are affordable. I am soooo grateful to the Lord for the counselors here. They have helped keep me going when my whole world has collapsed.

Came here for a weekend retreat with my church. The campus as new and beautiful. They had a good variety of food and a great brunch. It’s a great location to get away without having to drive too far.

I LOVE CBU.
I am a former student at CBU, I graduated in 2005 (BA) and 2009 (MS)
I met my husband here and lifelong friends…
But I am here to talk about the Alumni Dining Commons… otherwise known as the caf.
The caf is amazing. No wonder you put on several pounds during your studies there.
On any given day you can get mexican food, pizza, salad bar, dessert bar, waffles, homestyle foods
did I mention the waffles? They are so good– make one fresh and hot and your whole day could be better!
If you visit CBU and you see a little old lady there… say hello — her name is wanda and she is the pulse of the campus…
