5 /5 Nate Cress: The SAGU experience is one you cant forget. SAGU is full of passionate people going after the call of God on their life whether thats in ministry or in business. The professors are phenomenal (at least the majority of them, but we all have our opinions). Dont get me wrong. SAGU has an ugly side too, but it really depends on the student. If you want to succeed at Southwestern, youll find a great group of people to help you along the way. If you want to go here just to party and hangout with friends that just happen to go here, Id say save your money. This school is too pricey to just throw your education out the window.
As far as dorms go, personally, I suggest Guynes. Youll find a whole bunch of people who will disagree with me on that though. Guynes 2nd floor was where I stayed. Kendrick is great for the close nit girls who want to escape for the guys for a bit. Savell tends to be the Pastoral Majors group, although that may have changed. The newer dorms are beautiful and very private (I never really visited them much).
As a note: SAGU can get expensive. If you are a freshman, I suggest going to a community college for at least the first year if not the first two years of your college education. This will dramatically help with cost. Dont worry about "getting the college experience" either. Youll have plenty of time to get the "college experience" after getting your basics out of the way.
Another great way to save: SAGU has agreed to accept DSOM students who have completed their Berean courses and received credentials from the AG up to 9 credit hours per completed year. Thats up to 27 credit hours. DSOM costs about $1200 per year, so the investment is about $3600 for 27 credit hours. Thats not too bad. You should call about this to get all the details though.
There are always scholarships and grants to help you along the way.
