Michele - 10/21/2019

The college is the perfect size for a Non-traditional Student to complete a major. My major-specific classes have options for people who continue to work and go to school. The college has many options for community involvement for a smaller Christian School and there is a Starbucks on campus at the Library,

Moriah - 03/09/2019

Lubbock Christian University is such an amazing school! Their campus isn't too big to where you get lost, it's not trashy or dirty, and every single building looks beautiful and clean inside. Everyone there is extremely friendly and the class size ratio is outstanding.

Marcos - 02/17/2019

I've spent most of my life hearing of my family saying how they all graduated from LCU and how much they loved it for its comfortable learning environment and how connected they could be to the teachers and other students. I'm proud to say that upon visiting the campus on chap day, I can say I will be looking forward to attending for my four years!

Kourtney - 02/12/2019

I loved visiting Lubbock Christian. Everyone welcomed me there with open arms. The campus just had this feeling that felt like home. The campus was beautiful and everyone just had this happy energy. I definitely could see myself going to college here and make relationships that would last me a lifetime.

Lubbock Christian University FAQS

  1. What is the Acceptance Rate at Lubbock Christian University?

    The fall 2020 acceptance rate for Lubbock Christian University is 95%. That means, out of _____ applications received in 2020, _____ students were offered admission.

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    You will never be fully prepared. Don't misunderstand me; preparation is wise. Do your research and do not procrastinate. But realize, putting something off until you are "fully prepared" is a form of procrastination in and of itself. Do not allow a fear of failure to keep you from trying. Better to flounder and learn than to never succeed, because you never even tried. Set goals and deadlines. Give yourself adequate time to prepare - then make an attempt when you reach your deadline. We learn best through experience, and life is experience. Allow yourself to live.

  7. What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?

    The worst thing here (and it was actually hard to think about this one) would be the dorms. The girls' dorms have been around since at least the 60s, and they haven't changed much. The dorms carry an affectionate feel for a few family a friends that have attended here, and for the professors as well, but for the most part it's annoying when you try to turn down the air conditioning and you end up turning on the heater, and it makes the room stink. Other than that, this school is absolutely amazing! I call it home.

  10. What kind of person should not attend this school?

    I think a person who isn’t willing to put the work in to their future should not attend this school. I feel that any person who doesn’t want to put the work in, stay motivated to achieve or attend classes should not attend any college. College is meant to help individuals achieve brighter futures.

  11. Describe your favorite campus traditions.

    Our school is best known for the quality teachers who graduate from it. The schools in the school districts in and around Lubbock will generally hire a LCU graduate before a student from the several other colleges and universities in our area because of the reputation of the education department. The Bible department also provides quality ministers to churches in the area and far away.

  12. Here's your chance: Say anything about your college!

    From my initial visit, to my admissions process, to technical questions that have risen over the last several months, I have discovered that Lubbock Christian University is a step above universities. I have been treated with the upmost respect, courteousy, and kindness each time I have entered a building on campus and have never been ignored or left without my problem being corrected or addressed. The staff truly goes above and beyond what normal universities offer and do for prospective and current students. You are treated as a person, not a number or a bank account.

  13. What's the most frustrating thing about your school?

    One thing that is frustrating about LCU is probably the same for almost any campus: comfortability to open up. Yes, the campus is full of beautiful people and everyone gets along, but everyone has their own groups with their own title. It's only a little frustrating to see this because judging becomes a part of it and this being a Christian campus can be seen as hypocritical. I love the people but I do not like to see everyone's seperation, but that is only my perspective. I love the campus and everyone that is a part of it.
