The University is spending a lot of money on sports, which is good for me as a student athlete. The facilities are pretty new and most of the dorms are okay as well. Tuition costs are pretty high, but it is covered by my athletic scholarship. The University is also pretty religious, which was pretty new for me, especially because some rules make no sense to me.

CU provided me with the opportunity to feel safe, accepted, loved and respected. After transferring from two schools, I have had a hard time deciding if I want to come back to the States. It was hard for me to start trusting people again after my tragical experiences I have had in my past. CU was something I will never regret deciding for. I am immensely grateful that I spent two years studying at CU. I will always remember all the times I have had coffee and small talk with my professors and colleagues before class.

Campbellsville University is a relatively small university located in a small town in the state of Kentucky. Given the fact that it is small place, that’s a big contrast to the fact that CU gives us the opportunity to meet people from all over the world.
