SBU offers 4 different housing styles. We have two suite style dorms, which means there is one bathroom between each room, so 4 girls to one bathroom. Our community-style dorm allows for 1 big bathroom on each floor. Hotel-style rooms include one bathroom in each room, set up much like a hotel. Lastly, we have on-campus apartments for upperclassmen.

What are the best ways to get the most out of my college experience?
Southwest Baptist University
There are lots of ways to enjoy college, receive the most financial aid, and grow spiritually, socially, academically, and so much more! My advice is to get out of your comfort zone and meet as many people as possible your first week on campus. Get involved in all the clubs, organizations, and activities to meet new people and learn as much as possible.

WHAT I LIKED
I really enjoy attending SBU. One disadvantage is having to attend a certain amount of chapels per semester, it is not as enjoyable if it is mandatory to attend. They do have lots of different ways to earn chapel credits which is nice
WHAT I didn’t LIKE
Just be prepared for the college workload. However, most instructors are very kind and understanding and will work with students, especially during a family crisis

WHAT I didn’t LIKE
While we do our best to show up-to-date information, due to COVID-19 and other factors out of our control, it is possible that the data we are showing about test requirements, application deadlines, and more, are inaccurate. Please verify with the college itself via their website to ensure you are aware of all requirements and deadlines.
