What I like about McMurry University is that it is a small, Christian-based University where you can have thirteen to twenty students in class, but still get that one-on-one help from the professors. What I would like to see change is how the dining hall is not open during the summer terms when there are students who do not have access to vehicles for them to travel to get/buy food.
Review McMurry University
I love McMurry though it was my first semester and a little expensive I think it's worth every penny! The professors actually work hard to see their students pass and succeed it's not all about a check. Student life is great they want to see you involved and everyone is friendly.
I am specifically in Alpha Psi Alpha, and it is amazing. I would of never thought i'd be in one but ever since i've joined i never felt so happy and thankful i met wonderful sisters! The greek life at McMurry is very important boys and girls. We do not have Greek houses but some of the members in clubs will get a house and have their members live with them.
