Student reviews

Campus and vibes

Current Student

I have gone through my freshman year at Central Baptist College, and it was an experience I truly enjoyed and can’t wait to continue. It is a small campus which is something I was interested in. The professors, students, and faculty are all very helpful and nice. It holds standards based on Christian principles, which is something important to me.

Student

Central Baptist College is a very faith-based college. They have mandatory chapels and are strict on dress code. But it is also a very welcoming school. I have not had any problems since I have been here, and I have enjoyed the time I have spent here. The teachers are helpful, and they take our education seriously.

Student

At Central Baptist College I connected with so many people so fast. Most people here are so kind and loving. I love the way they shine Gods light. It makes it so much more enjoyable when you can talk about your religion freely. CBC isn’t as good as everyone makes it seem.
