Southern Nazarene University is an amazing university that has the best professors and staff that I have ever seen! The professors truely care about their students and the classes are small so you get the attention you need to succeed in every course. I would have chosen my university differently the first time around if I had know the difference between a regular university and a Christian university.

I have to say the campus is gorgeous! All the professors I had we're very knowledgeable. Overall I had a really good experience. Being a religious school, part of your requirement is to attend chappel twice for credit to be able to come back the next semester. This was really the only thing I did not really like
I went to SNU to play college soccer! The atmosphere at SNU is excellent, it is the feeling that everyone on campus wants you to be there. All the professors are personal, they know who you are even after the class is over. At SNU, we get to learn and talk about God and I think to be able to do that at a university in this society today is amazing. I'm so glad that I chose a school to get my degree and to strengthen my relationship with the Lord.
