My son is a junior in high school and we are trying to get in as many college visits as possible over the next 12 months. ETBU was our 5th campus to visit, and we were all pleasantly surprised. On a Friday afternoon, we were welcomed with a personal parking sign, got a fabulous campus tour from Ashley, and met with several coaches. As a Momma, I was thrilled and ready to complete the application that day! I believe that he would be surrounded by wonderful Christian people with servant hearts. The campus is clean, beautiful and surrounded by pine trees. It is also only a short 2.5 hours from the DFW Metroplex. The growth at ETBU is evident with the new athletic facilities, football stadium, and brand new apartments still under construction for upper classmen. The most impressive and rare find was the newly built freshmen dorm. It allows every student to have a private room- that s HUGE! The staff from every department, including the president were all class acts. Since our son is a sprinter, the only let down was that there is not a track on campus. The track team has to travel about a mile to the high school in order to practice. ETBU has moved to the top of our very short list!
