Southwest Baptist University Reviews
Rating 3.8 out of 5 414 reviews
I was a full time student at a small satellite campus of SBU. The campus staff was incredibly supportive and helpful. I never had any issues with my admission or enrollment and the advisor did all the work for me. I didn't rate the student life very high because I only spent a few hours at school per day and didn't spend a lot of time with other students outside of class.
I had several outstanding professors, but also a few poor ones, hence the mediocre review. Those good professors left a lasting impression on me, my worldview, my learning, and my critical thinking.

Southwest Baptist University has been a great place for me so far. I came here for track and field and the coaching staff is amazing and really cares about us as athletes. Not only that, but the professors and other staff members are very helpful and friendly.
The quality of the education I received was very good, but there were some drawbacks to the school. The athletics department was not well funded for all sport teams and the city where campus is located is lacking many activities to do off campus.
