So
Samford has provided an amazing experience for me thus far,
and its only my second year. I read the other
posts and I gata say.. a lot the things you
hear are indeed true. Lots of upper-middles class white people,
lots of females, and expensiveness. (We JUST got a flock
of foreign exchange students from China, so theres a boost
to the Asian population.) Greek Life is pretty dominant, although
brochures and student tour guides will tell you otherwise. I
am in a fraternity, and that in of itself has
changed my entire experience at Samford (for the better). The
pres, Andy Westmoreland, is a boss and is a great
leader. He takes walks around campus every now and then
and students freely approach him and say hi. Campus is
astounding, and you'll find yourself sitting on the “Quad” reading
or hammocking outside often. Athletics could use some help, especially
football. BUT they recently changed the way tail-gating is done,
and the campus becomes very alive during tail-gating hours. All
the orgaizations pitch up tents, and you can freely roam
around and steal food and coozies while watching other popular
football games on the Tvs they bring out. If you
want the best hamburgers, go to the Pi Kappa Phi
tent.. Desserts.. go to Phi Mu.. Our Volleyball is really
good. The rec center is awesome, and is free for
students. Food gets old after a while, but every now
and then when parents/prospective kids come they up the quality
of food. The dorms are really nice, especially for girls.
Guys.. smith is awesome. Never do you have 90% of
the freshmen guys in one building hanging n chilling (until
rush starts, then it becomes chaos). Professors care and will
gladly arrange appointments to meet with you 1 on 1
and talk through your struggles/concerns. Intramurals are huge, and new
teams emerge yearly. We just got Crew and Disc Golf
as official teams. Last but not least, Samford requires each
student ot have a number of “convo” credits before they
can graduate. Convo is basically a point system for attending
lectures, movies, concerts, greek life events (occasionally), volunteering, etc. It
actually is a great incentive to go to these things..
Like on Friday night no one is in town, but
a movie is playing and they are giving 2 convo
credits. So I'd go do that, which in turn I
would meet people, socialize and meet friends that don't go
out of town. If you read all that then you
know a little about Samford. Its a great school, and
if you have the option to go, do it.
