From my standpoint, Asbury is pleasant, but there are several hurdles. It's Christian, and they require you to attend a chapel service Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. It's against the rules to drink, so no one at all drinks ever. Of course. Pinkie-swear. They're technically anti-LGBT, but things seem to be changing on that front (?). Most students are upper-middle class. Nike Bro and white-girl culture. People are nice; they seem to share the idea that Christians should be nice. But it's genuine.
Academically there's a good film department. And an Equine (horses) Program. Also all the class sizes are, like, quite small. Most of my classes are, like 10-15 people.

The people are nice and chill and as well as this it is a lovely campus. Although having chapel and the food at Cafe is not so great
Asbury University is a great college, especially for students wanting to be around a Christian environment while still maintaining high academics.
Asbury is a Wesleyan Christian College in the small town of Wilmore. As a science major at this small rural university, there's a lot to say about this university, there are many things that I'm passionate about this college, and there are things that I would like to see a change in. Many students call Asbury "home", a place to explore their interests, build and nurture life-long relationships, heal past hurts, and receive spiritual growth. However, that does not indicate that it is a perfect school. One change I would like to see is raising student wages. Currently, Asbury is paying most student-hold positions the minimal salary of the state of Kentucky, which is $7.25 per hour. A lot of jobs like tutoring, working in school offices, food services, and IT services require a lot of precious energy and time outside of the regular working hours of students and deserve to be paid more than a minimal wage.
Good faculty, an average of 20-30 students per Classroom. A lot of beautiful professors in Business school. The administration and representatives of the University don't care about you at all. Perfect for Christian majors.
Asbury University has exceeded my expectations on multiple fronts, earning a well-deserved 5-star rating. Their athletics programs boast a perfect balance of competitive spirit and sportsmanship, fostering an environment that promotes both physical and personal growth. The dedication of coaches and the camaraderie among student-athletes create an unforgettable experience. Equally impressive is the academic level of their business school. The faculty's expertise and commitment to student success are evident, as they provide comprehensive, up-to-date curriculum and hands-on learning opportunities. The business school's emphasis on ethical practices and critical thinking prepares graduates to thrive in today's dynamic business landscape. Asbury University truly stands out for its holistic approach to education.
I like Asbury because people around campus is friendly ,the education is very good and I'm having the opportunity to play tennis that is my favorite sport. So,for that reason Asbury has all that I need for my present, and for my future after of my graduation.
The experience that asbury gave me this first semester was very good, and the quality of the people I met was very good.
Being in two universities gave me the possibility to see how Asbury is unique in a way of building a strong community, were everybody wants you to become the best you can be. It was a great experience, with great professors always available to help. A president that is close to the students and the first one giving the example of how to be an Eagle. Also being a sports player gave me access to a great staff working with you. Not just to have results but to make sure that you feel happy to be there.
My experience at Asbury has been nothing but great. I’m already a Junior and I can definitely see how I have grown as a person and also academically. Asbury is a school that not only focuses on academic excellence but it also forms people with values which I believe that is far more important than any other academic accomplishment you can have. I’m really happy that I pick Asbury. Since I step in campus I always felt safe and at home, specially being an international the school has helped me a lot to adapt into the transition of living in a different country with a different culture and language. It really thanks to Asbury and it’s people that I have personally grown so much.
My experience at Asbury has been great so far. I like how everyone is so nice to each other. Despite not knowing other people, you know that every person on campus is willing to help. Personally, I don’t speak English as a first language, and when I first came I thought that it was going to be an issue, a barrier to meet people. I was totally wrong. People here understood this, and not only they wanted to know about my background, they helped me overcome this “barrier”. It is a nice and calm place, where you know there is always someone to talk or help. You will never be alone at the Cafeteria (not a Michelin restaurant), at the library or in a class.
For school, I’m in the education department and the professors are amazing! I know some people would say that other colleges have great professors, but truly, Asbury seeks out the best. I have become close with my educators and the love they show me everyday is unmatched. I am also an athlete and my coach is wonderful. They are kind, patient, and honest. Asbury staff lead students with the most integrity. Asbury staff also leads all students closer to the Lord. Putting God first everyday is what our professors & other staff members encourage us to seek first everyday. I transferred into Asbury because of the Christian environment that it holds. You can find so many ways to get plugged in and stay busy- you never feel alone. Asbury is a very inclusive campus! I have found true friends that I will have for the rest of my life and hold good memories that I will cherish. I’ve never met so many people who have so much passion for the Lord. God answered my prayers by bringing me to Asbury!
My freshman year at Asbury University was such a special experience! You can tell the professors genuinely care about the students and are invested in their growth. For such a small school, they offer many opportunities to find community and make deep friendships. The administration is very down-to-earth and humble as well, which is very cool. It is one of those places that makes you feel at home.
I have heard many great stories about Asbury University originating from their current revival this past February. Originally I applied to Yale university, but realized that I wished to further my career with a school that prioritizes their students faith. This Friday, I attended their orientation and it demonstrated a different kind of love known as God’s love. I am excited to start my educational journey this fall with Asbury and I come from a low income household and will be the first in my family to attend college so I am hoping to receive additional help towards my dorm and books that I need.
I enjoyed Asbury mainly due to my involvement with the baseball team. The guys on the team were great young men and the staff was friendly. All my professors were great and willing to help anytime I asked. The dorms were outdated, along with some of student guidelines such as girl visiting hours and curfews.
Well I will be a freshman but i’ve heard so many good things about Asbury University. Asbury University is a private Christian college. It will keep me close to God. I’ll develop a better relationship with him and have the best experience for forwarding my education. It’s also a private school so i’ll be able to meet my classmates and have good relationships with them. My professor will know me and I won’t just be someone in their class. Asbury University is just a warm and welcoming place that I can’t wait to call my home.
You come to Asbury for the education and the community. The food, dorms, and internet are in need of improvement or being replaced. Some more transparency from the administration about future plans would be greatly appreciated.
It is a great place to grow and find your identity as a person and a Christian. The faculty is very supportive and accommodating!
Asbury has created a space of community within the classroom and outside the classroom. I have been challenged in the classroom and have learned more than just what is within my major but other subjects as well. I love the people at Asbury and how the people have become more like family then just friends.
The strengths of Asbury University is the community there. I was supported in my academic, spiritual, emotional, physical, and relational growth by faculty, staff, and peers. I quickly found a mentor that walked with me all through my college journey and we still catch up even a year later. Asbury is not just about school, it is about finding a holistic life with Jesus and with those around you.
Other strengths: relationships with professors is strong. They care about you as a person, not a number.
The strongest programs there are the media program (television, movies, video, they send interns to the olympics, etc) and the equine program, (lots of hands on experience, Jessie Westfall, great place for networking) and the music program (various choirs, off campus concerts, scholarships, etc).
The growth points of Asbury are:
-The small Christian bubble that it lives in.
-The disconnect between the board of the school and the students.
-20 minutes away from restaurants and grocery
