Samford University Top Questions

Is the stereotype of students at Samford University accurate?

Sarah

I do think that this stereotype is accurate for a fairly good amount of students but it definately does not apply to all or even half.

Blake

Not absolutely but alot of them are accurate with a majority.

Ainsley

Samford is mostly caucasian and the majority are upper-middle class but not everyone is a Christian although you might not know it because people just say they are even if they're not. People do party but it's not prevalent on campus.

there are quality people here. sure, i'm not best friends with everybody on campus, but people know my name and i love knowing that i'm an important piece of the puzzle here. of course, there are day-to-day ups and downs, but i wouldn't trade my experience here for anything.

Ashley

The stereotpe that says all Samford students are Christians or stiving to actually live for Christ is false. That's not true for every student here. The stereotype about marriage is very true.

Jackie

yes

Ron

yes

Jody

Absolutely

Rory

No, there are many Christian people but there are also a lot of wild children around campus who party and drink a lot. Not all girls are prissy and up tight who dress up everday and put on their best show for everyone. A lot of girls have had their first kiss and a lot of girls are no longer virgins...STDs run around this school like every other.

Alex

All but the closet drinker one.

Ashley

In some ways yes. However, I have not run into many Bible-beaters in my 4 years at Samford. We do live in a bubble, but I think that is just because we are at a Christian University. But we all still have problems...some just mask it better than others.
