Hello! I was curious if anyone knows of any christian universities in the west, south or texas that are similar to TCU or Baylor but offer more merit and financial aid? Any input would help!! I would love a university that is not too small( <2,000 ) but still have a religious influence and good campus life like Baylor and TCU
I think your choices are going to be:
Mary-Hardin Baylor
Abilene Christian
Hardin-Simmons
St.Edwards (have heard fantastic things!)
What about Trinity or SMU?
There is also Concordia in Austin, an absolutely beautiful campus.
Southwestern in Georgetown is a possibility
Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama. Pretty heavy Christian, solid endowment, beautiful campus, nice area of city, Greek life, good sports including a football team, also has law and other grad schools, and 45 minutes from Tuscaloosa for the occasional crazy party scene and Rolling with the Crimson Tide. Liberty University in Nashville would be another to look at, particularly if interested in music or entertainment.
On the West coast, there’s Pepperdine, Loyola Marymount (Jesuit), Biola University, and Point Loma Nazarene.
For Texas you could take a look at Dallas Baptist University. They have around five thousand students and a very pretty campus.
