Cailan - 06/18/2019

Faulkner University is a great school and you can easily find a group of friends. The Christian atmosphere is great and positive setting to be around. I know I can always count on the professors to email me back or even just talk to me if I need to talk to someone. Although Faulkner is very expensive, it has felt like home since I stepped on campus and I feel like that is what is really important.

Olivia - 06/13/2019

I love Faulkner University and met a lot of great people. I love how we learn about God word and get to have chapel during our school day. The teacher and staff are always helpful inside class and out of class. The extra - activities on campus are fun as they love to see everyone having fun. Living on campus I have great room mates who are always supportive and encouraging me. The cafeteria ladies are like family to me as they are always looking out for me. Keeping up on financial and academics, the staff are helpful to solve everyone problems.I feel safe on campus by the campus police always making sure everyone is safe and I recommend upcoming and future students or adults to stop by Faulkner University.

Spencer - 03/21/2019

I have been to Faulkner for a variety of youth camps and activities since I was in the sixth grade. The faculty seem to care about their students and are available to them. The students who I have met talk highly of the school and of the professors. I took an online class for dual enrollment and my teacher was helpful and knew her subject. I am looking forward to going to school there in the fall.
