Cumberland University although considered a smaller school is not any less valued than “bigger” colleges such as MTSU. The students, myself included, find the school and the atmosphere to be both warm and charming. The staff always have time to chat about issues whether involving academics or personal matters. They always have great advise to give. I can honestly say that I fell in love with Cumberland the second I laid eyes on the brochure. The campus itself is beautiful from our signature clock tower atop memorial hall to our brilliant and spacious courtyard.
I took several online learning classes in my undergraduate and graduate courses. I would say that my experience was average. There are very few people that actually enjoy online classes so there isn’t much that can be done in that area. I will say typically professors are quick to email back and very reasonable with flexible deadlines. The undergraduate classes included zoom and online work while the graduate courses were mainly writing papers and answering discussion questions. Cumberland has access to multiple computer labs for student use, amazing IT support, and free wifi on all parts of the campus.
Cumberland University is a small college in the growing town of Lebanon, Tn. It is a private four year university with various sports, clubs, and greek life opportunities. If you are looking for a small town school where everyone knows everyone and the professors call you by name then this is the school for you. The financial aid department awards a high amount of scholarships as well as the sports departments. Parking can be a head ache and the dorms are a little outdated but the Quad is beautiful and the classrooms are constantly being updated and remodeled. Overall it is a nice school with kind professors and staff.
