Southwestern University Reviews
Rating 3.7 out of 5 584 reviews
I absolutely loved my experience at Southwestern University. As an out-of-state student, I could tell that the staff and professors truly cared about me and wanted me to feel at home. The local community was also very kind and supportive, even offering free lunch to Southwestern students every Monday (#chunch)! Georgetown is a cute and fun town with plenty of amazing restaurants and things to do!
Ultimately, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Southwestern University and am eternally grateful for all the incredible opportunities that I had throughout my undergrad experience here. The faculty here are amazing, particularly the kinesiology department. I was able to complete undergraduate research projects with the kinesiology faculty members that later went on to be published in the international journal of sports sciences. Furthermore, they helped me secure multiple academic internships, both near campus, as well as out of state. All of my professors were extremely accommodating for my athletics here, since I competed on the swim team all 4-years. Overall, with all of the experiences that I have had here, I feel very prepared approaching graduate school.
Southwestern is a great school. The highlights of my time there were the professors, small class size, beautiful campus, friendly staff, and quiet environment. You can have a vibrant fun life here if you put in the effort to make friends and join organization that are active. One downside is that, being a small school, there aren't a whole lot of active organizations. I joined a couple of clubs in the first week only to discover that they never met. You just have to know where to look. If you join Greek life, you will have a lot to do, lots of friends, etc. If you are on a sport team, you will also have a good community. If you are not in either of these, you will have to work a bit harder to have a social life -- but its still achievable. The faulty are always working to make the experience better at this school, and they actually care about each individual -- this is rare, I think.
