The best school I ever had the pleasure of attending.

The Online and Professional Studies (OPS) Division at Cal Baptist is amazing. I came back to school after 20 years and they got me up to speed, encouraged and really pushed me to achieve my goals. I'm off to earn my doctoral degree now and I can say, without a doubt, that without the team there (Bowden and Simnjanovski especially) are wonderful!

I'm a civil engineering major at cbu. On the first day of class my Statics professor explained that he had used the same tests, and quizzes for the last 10 years. 8 years were at Texas A&M. he explained that although that school technically is in the "top ten" for engineering, every section he's taught at CBU has outscored even his best A&M class

Best School Everrrr

This campus is small, but in a good way. This means better one-on-one connections will professors. You have so many fun clubs and intramural sports you can join. But in my opinion, is the on-campus jobs, you get to make friends well-having fun.

CBU is a great school to match anyone's personality type. If you're outgoing, it's a place for you. But if you like being alone like me, you can be at peace here as well.

I love the professors and staff. Yes, it is a private school but it made my education experience great and was worth every penny. Small class size, a ton of classes available so you graduate on time.
Bad reviews

This is truly a terrible school!! They pride themselves on their small student-to-teacher ratios, that is never the case. Teachers have favorite students and then neglect other students, even when they ask for help. This school only wants your money, they are NOT interested in you or your success!
Overall 1.8
this school isn't going to be for you unless you're a hardcore christian. it's hard to find people who party or just non religious people in general. it's not worth the $30K+. save your money, go to a state school.
Overall 1.9
There isnt much of a social life because almost everyone goes home whenever they can. The class sizes are really small. The dorms really arent that great, our sink flooded and it took them two tries to fix it. The food isnt bad but the cafeteria is hit or miss. There isnt much to do outside campus in walking distance so make sure to get a car.
Overall 1.9
CBU is not worth the price. Apparently the dorms are one of the best in the nation, however my dorm flooded, and had an ant infestation all in one semester. The people are generally nice, but 85% of them go home whenever they have the chance so it gets pretty lonely if youre from out of state. There isnt a lot to do outside the small campus.

If you can't handle constant religious debates and conservativism, do yourself a favor and don't go here. It can be hard to make friends if you don't fit the "norm"
