Amazing experience. Thank you for everything you done for the kids

Great Christian work place for faculty and staff!

Fantastic football program and coaching staff. Really rolled out the red carpet and made our son feel special during the football recruiting weekend. Really nice campus and offers a variety of activities for students to participate in on campus.

Quality school where individuals bloosom.

This is where I am getting my degree in social work. The teachers are friendly and willing to help in any way.

This is a good school.

There’s a welcoming ambiance and a home feeling. Everyone is friendly and the buildings are close to each other

Amazing Christ-centred academic community preparing the next generation.

Love SBU! During our 1st visit, I asked who would be teaching the classes (at other schools so many grad students often teach today). The SBU answer:Professors teach the classes--- not one TA or GA replaces a professor. All of my daughters professors and the university president KNOW her by name. Its personal at SBU. Its a great school filled with amazing people who are eager to serve others. Its in a small town, but Springfield is just down the road.

Nice facility , good seating

Great facility. I’m very pleased with the theologically conservative direction of the university. Knowing that all the professors affirm the Baptist Faith and Message is extremely encouraging. If you have a student nearing the end of his or her high school career, then you must schedule a visit to this great university.

Came down sick 2 weeks befor lockdown didnt know it then.but i tested positive later for having been infected but am no longer testing positive. Took me 7 weeks to recover and still weakened by it months later. I moved and went to sign up for a new college and bam sbu says i owe them money because of fafsa rules they sent money back to feds. Over 1k owed only solution given was give them 6 hundred dollars and make payments on the reat. Im being punished becauseni did what i was supposed to and stayed home what a joke!!

Southwest Baptist University is a place I call home! As a student, I loved the Christian atmosphere and the small setting. I loved that I knew so many students and that my professors knew me by name. I was challenged and grew in my faith. Now, as an employee, I value coming to a job in a place where we can pray for each other and encourage each other. My co-workers arent just co-workers; they are family.

Words cannot describe how much love I have for SBU and the life lessons, people, and experiences it blessed me with 💜 Class of 2016!

Great experience dropping kid off as freshman.

This university is unlike any other. It is outward focused and has a mindset of serving instead of being served. I have been overwhelmed with the opportunities, love, education, and community this university has poured out on me in my 4 years as a student.

I have had such a good experience, both my wife and I are currently pursuing a degree from Southwest Baptist University. My wife, her MBA and I am working towards an Accounting and Information Assurance Degree. The professors have been intentional to answer any questions I have fully and guided me though my coursework well. I cant complain about a single thing. Hopefully one day we will send our children here!

We recently visited to check out the college for an upcoming student. We had a great time. We were treated very kindly and enjoyed their nice campus. We especially enjoyed the professor we met in the intercultural studies department. He spent so much time with us and seemed very genuine and kind.

Very friendly environment. You couldnt ask for a better University.

SBU has become a home away from home. The community is fantastic and I have loved my experience in the dorms, with my professors and in class, and in Student Life.

SBU is truly a place for young and old to come, grow and learn. My life has forever been impacted by this institution and I am very thankful for it. SBU is a place that you will be challenged, you will be card for, and you will be prepared in such a way that you can go out into the world and be extremely successful from there.

Incredible community, outstanding education! I absolutely loved my years at SBU. It was exactly what I needed in my life at the time and for my future. SBU is truly focused on faith and committed to excellence in all things.

This place has a good selection of books. overall very clean. Has very reasonable prices and a wide variety of supplies necessary for school.

This school has been a part of my family for 4 generations. That is not an accident the lesson I learned at SBU have helped me grow in my faith. The professors genuinely care for each students. On more than one occasion professors would invite classes to their home for fellowship. My two brothers and I all met our spouses here. The friends I made will last a lifetime. This school has a special place in my heart and God blesses me greatly through attending.

I love SBU! The faculty, staff, and students make it the best place to work! I love the caring, Chris-centered, close-knit culture!

SBU is a wonderful community, more like a family than an institution. Grateful for my experiences here as both a student and an employee.

Great service but a little pricey

I have enjoyed having a one on one relationship with the faculty. They are super friendly, and I enjoy learning and having a friendly academic relationship with my instructors. I have learned to strongly intertwine academic health with a strong belief in the gospel while being at SBU. In my own experience, I give SBU a five star rating because I believe this is the place to be if you want to grow stronger in Christ, achieve academic excellence in a friendly atmosphere, grow socially and have a fun experience altogether through sports, clubs and bible study groups.

Southwest Baptist University is an asset to the community of Bolivar, MO. They have a great faculty and staff and wonderful events from Sports to the Arts. The students are well prepared for the workplace and contribute to many businesses in the community. The facilities are well maintained.

My years as a student at SBU were so formative in shaping who I am today. Faculty are genuinely caring and go above and beyond in helping students succeed.

Didnt actually go there sooo idk. But is a college book store . . . It does its job

I completed two undergraduate degrees at SBU and am currently working on my masters. SBU prepared me well to think critically and learn effectively! I loved my experience and will continue to develop my skills here! Faculty are great and caring!

Awesome university with a great community full of people who truly care about you and want to help you prepare to succeed in life!

Great learning environment, great community, and great mission statement. All around great University!

My phone shifted screens while I was trying to enter stars; I apologize for the initial bad review because it was not intended. The store is in a good, accessible location for students and it looks easy to find what is needed.

Nice campus with well manicured lawn. The layout is pretty with plenty of parking.

Great school, great atmosphere and you will make friends for life while you are there. The best 4 years of my life was at SBU.

Me and my husband both attend here we live it

So proud to be a graduate and now a faculty member at this amazing institution!

This university has a caring, family atmosphere and sound academics.

Good range of items, reasonably priced. Textbooks are crazy like everywhere, but they do have rental and buyback programs.

As a student, SBU shaped me spiritually and prepared me for my chosen career path. The faculty were dedicated to my success and I made friendships that will last a lifetime.

My alma mater, attended Super Summer youth camp here. Top notch.

Great college that has a warm welcoming atmosphere as well as excellent academics

A quality Christian education and a safe campus! Lots of opportunities to grow and give back!

If they dont have the book you need for a class you have to wait. They are very expensive, only some can use financial aid to get books but the people are very nice and will help you find anything.

I appreciate that Southwest Baptist Universities home page appears at the top of the list

Its super open always fun

Welcoming environment with variety in apparel and other odds and ends.

We went to the wind symphony concert. Great music

They are an abomination for condoning their employees such as Crystal Grosvenor to engage in publicly bashing gays. Unless she is acting on her own accord which one would think that a University recieving Federal Funds would have guidelines. I will be submitting the screen shot of her comments damming gags to hell and repeatedly posting Leviticus verses. Very poor taste and to say the least this truly goes against Christianity. Not that it will impact you much but HLC will receive a copy. But I am very aware of the Federal guidelines as I am in Academia and have been for over a decade. What a hostile environment to work or go to school in or do you make sure to deny employment based on sexual orientation? Guess we will see when big brother has a look but I am truly offended.

Went to this place for 3 years for a church summer camp and absoulutly loved the campus, staff, and the food was amazing!! The camp had such a clean and safe feeling to it!!!

I loved my time as a student at SBU! :)

The head of the Biology department teaches that evolution doesnt exist. I waited 2 months for my A/C to be fixed to find out my RD never put in the request after I reported it several times and was told it was reported. The mandatory chapel is a joke. Almost no one pays attention. The food is the worst food Ive ever had. Its $7 a meal and they somehow undercook the outside of the pizza and burn the center. Got a friend that got kicked out because he was depressed and the school didnt want the liability. Half the school is heavily into drugs and parties. I DDd for people weekly. That said, Ive met some amazing people here and Ive got to give a shoutout to Declue and Bethards as they were great teachers. They were very kind and helpful and showed an interest in getting to know students on a more personal level. But those are about the only positive aspects of SBU and Im sorry to say i would heavily recommend finding another scool

It was much very sbu

This store has surprisely large selection of SBU attire & products.

Great for an educational experience and job to.

Too campus tour with son really enjoyed the school.

Dont know

Higher Ground did a great job leading worship

I noticed there was a lack of serious reviews for the university. I’ll try to write as unbiased a review as possible, though my experience was largely negative.To begin, I was admitted to SBU in 2013 as one of four incoming freshman to receive an academic full-tuition scholarship. During the year I spent at SBU, I split my time between the Mathematics and Computer Science departments. After a year, I turned down the lustrous prospect of free college and transferred to the University of Missouri, where I have spent the past year, and where I will finish my education.First, let me say that though my experience was largely negative, it was not as bad as it could have been. As a liberal Episcopalian, drowning in the conservatism of the SBC was not the most attractive idea in the world, though my fears were swiftly assuaged by a number of individuals –students and professors alike- who were more committed to serious inquiry than towing party lines. (I remember with particular fondness an adviser of mine who encouraged me to follow through with my plans to transfer to a more suitable academic institution, and to this day I number past and present SBU students among my closest friends.That being said, I can’t in good conscience recommend SBU to potential students. Many (if not most) of the classes I took at SBU did not match up to their counterparts at state universities (this was especially pronounced in the Math department, but also present in Computer Science). Further, the small number of professors and students led to a serious dearth of classes in all departments. A small school like SBU which nonetheless tries to offer a variety of majors ends up sacrificing depth of study for a perceived increase in depth of study. For example, the Math department was almost wholly without proof-based classes which are a necessity for any student seeking to pursue graduate studies (the one course in Abstract Algebra which should have been proof-based under-emphasized proofs to an almost-criminal extent). Perhaps these are no great criticisms. The University is not necessarily trying to prepare students for graduate studies. As an aspiring academic, however, these are criticisms too great to look over.While my experience was negative, the experience of other students does not have to be. Perhaps you are looking for a university which actively tries to integrate faith and vocation. Admittedly, this is a nearly-vacuous idea for me, mostly because the idea of a specifically “Christian Mathematician” strikes me as odd. If this is something which concerns you, however, SBU may be your school. The language of “faith integration” is alive and well on this campus, and traditionally religious students are sure to feel at home.Nevertheless, a number of questions must be asked by potential SBU students: at what price am I willing to purchase my comfort in higher education? Will I be giving up my academic and professional credibility by attending an institution such as this one? Are there benefits to be gained by attending a small Christian liberal arts college versus a larger state or private non-sectarian school? I don’t pretend to answer these questions for anyone else, but the answers for me were clear cut.

Great service and great place to get your stuff

Great bookstore for a small school

Love that they are so friendly and helpful.

The bookstore has quality Southwest Baptist University apparel, and just about anything you need from snacks to school supplies to electronics.
