I think most people who think Samford is a community that produces perfect little christian and that we live the most perfect and Godly little lives. I think people would be surprised at the level of ungodliness from students, to faculty even to the administration. There are unbelievers every where you go, including Samford. Also, the culture here at Samford says, you must be married before you graduate. For some reason, it's a lot of pressure to be married. Marriage occurs at different times and different people's walk of life. It doesn't have to happen during college!

Jackie

They are extremely rich, religious and preppy

Ron

Naive and scared

Jody

Samford students socially come from underneath a rock. The students have a holy-ier than thou attitude. Dont come here if you want to have a good time in college and not be miserable. The professors will not bat an eye at failing half the class.

Rory

All students are good christian people who never do wrong. All the girls here get dressed up for classes and are very sheltered, a lot have never been kissed. The girls are very up tight and prissy.

Alex

That everyone is a White, Southern boy or gal who is the child of a Baptist minister. That everyone is a closet drinker. That the university is the Ivy League of the South

Many people believe that we are all a bunch of "Bible-beaters". We often hear that we live in what is called the Samford "bubble".
