Abilene Christian University

🙋🏿‍♀️This year, I went for a tour of the beautiful ACU campus. It’s a small private university. I walked the Lunsford trail which circles around the perimeter of the campus in support of an event too. I was able to capture some of the campus monuments because I was amazed at all the detailed architecture, structures/statues. I ate a nice meal at the food court and also picked up some items from the campus store located near the food court. I was enamored by the campus’s serene and peaceful atmosphere. It felt like the ideal learning and studying environment everywhere, no matter where I went. The architecture of the buildings and monuments are notably immaculate.

When Christian Education Falls Short: Public Awareness of Hidden Bias in Grading As a student of color navigating higher education, I have experienced firsthand how some professors’ unresolved personal biases can show up in their grading practices.

Great school with good profs and good degree programs. A delightful and winsome Christian environment. I did my BA and MA there. My only real complaint is with the financial aid department. I ended up with $80,000 in student loan debt (after a half-tuition scholarship) because no one bothered to explain how the process worked. I don't believe 18 year olds should be making those kinds of financial decisions.
