Amazing university with a great community! All professors want you to do well in and outside of the class room.
They reach out and make sure that I am doing good and give me reminders on upcoming events or important things I need to fill out for college.
I was scared to start my college career, but once I arrived at ACU, that changed. Everyone is friendly, and if you're having trouble with your schoolwork, there are a lot of opportunities in order to help. There are a lot of clubs and opportunities to make friends. I definitely recommend getting involved in whichever way you can.
I have loved my 3 years of school so far at ACU. I love the sense of close community and all of the options there are around on campus that get you connected with others. I also love the advisors - they are extremely helpful and genuinely care about the students that they advise. My only critique is that their Christian values often oversee decisions they make that should be separate from the schools beliefs.
I have enjoyed Abilene and everything the school has to offer. Everyone in administration communicates very well and I love the people at ACU.
I am getting ready to transfer to ACU and I fell in love with the campus over a weekend. I went to visit the campus and they were amazing, the college culture of this school makes you feel like they want you at their school. They really put their students first and want us to succeed. Academically speaking I chose this college because of its amazing Education program. I want to be a teacher and this college Education program really helps future teachers reach their goals and be successful.
Over the course of my communication with ACU, they have done a great job online. They have done a very good job with our current crazy world with COVID-19. There programs to help their future and current students are admirable and one of the reasons I choose ACU as my future college.
The online experience isn't bad, but it allows for many opportunities to cheat and also is less personable than a classroom.
I have loved ACU so far. The teachers really seem to care for their students, and it is nice that class sizes are so small, because it allows for better accessibility and one-on-one discussion with the teacher. I love their focus on a Christ centered Christian environment and hope to see this school grow.
Online learning just generally sucks, but the few I did have to take online were as good as they could have been. The professors were good about keeping in touch over email, and even via text. One prof always had a hard time with Zoom, but you could she felt really bad about it and made sure it didn't affect our learning as much as possible.
ACU is amazing! I love the atmosphere; it's such a welcoming community. The professors actually make an effort to get to know you, and there's so many ways to get help on essays, research projects, and homework in specific subjects. Plus, the campus is never not gorgeous.
Very easy to work with! The professors and the school care about the students which help a lot in online courses.
The Campus is beautiful and has a very welcoming staff and faculty. The family of the student body is amazing.
ACU was very helpful with the admission process and continued great communication throughout my enrollment. They were very helpful and wanted me to succeed. They made the process very easy. The faculty were great and very accessible to the students.
My online learning through ACU was great. It was easy to figure out. The faculty were very accessible. The classes were taught in a manner that was conducive for learning.
When coronavirus broke out after spring break, we switched to an online learning platform for the rest of the semester. I was very disappointed in the results. Although the teachers had a week specifically set aside to rework their courses and to get instruction on how best to rework their courses, every course I had struggled to teach effectively the material we would have gotten if we were in class. For one class, I even had to do a group project with one of the members living in Australia. The difficulty of scheduling time to work together was tremendous, and probably affected our overall grade. Most classes chose to do simple assignments once a week, which was nice for workload, but did not make me feel like I was actually learning the information. The online classes have been better so far this year, but I am still very disappointed in their handling of online classes last spring semester.
Abilene Christian University allows me to become the best version of myself. The university provides an abundance of resources, such as the writing center, the speaking center, the career center, the learning center . . . basically, anything you need help with, there is a center for you. The teachers truly believe in you and, though strict at times, want you to grow in your education and in your relationship with God. I have no complaints about ACU. It is a place to come and find yourself in Christ.
I'm currently taking one online class and it's just like i'm sitting in class. The teacher knows his limitations with only being able to be online, but is still able to produce a productive learning session with his students.
I love Abilene Christian University, even though I've been here for a short time, the community here is very welcoming. People and students all around treat each other like family and with respect. The education system is top tier and safety among students is a top priority here.
Personally, I don't really like online classes to begin with, so this review is a little biased from the start. That being said, ACU's online classes are definitely not at the same caliber as in-person classes, but they're not terrible either. Professors are usually easy to reach (though some professors rarely respond to emails - these are the exceptions), and assignments are usually clearly defined. The online learning experience at ACU mostly depends on the professor teaching the class. It varies pretty widely from professor to professor.
