The Southwestern Assemblies of God University

I feel that my three years at SAGU were full of great memories and a lot of hard work. Do I agree with everything done by the school? Absolutely not. Do I feel like this is a school where one can learn the skills needed to continue on in their chosen careers? YES!!!

I feel that you get what you want out of any institution that you attend. NO college/university is perfect. There is always something that isn't your favorite thing about it.

All I know is that in my experience SAGU has provided me with the skills that I needed to be a great teacher! Am I still learning? Yes. Did they teach me everything? No...and I don't really think they, or anyone else, could.

Pros and Cons:

Chapel was not always my favorite place to go and definitely not always my style, however, I believe that it was a vital part of my life. There I was able to worship and learn about how to apply the Bible to my everyday life. I knew this was a Christian university and wanted/needed that.

Security is something that the school needs to work on. I personally never had a problem but I feel that there wasn't a very good system of campus safety...though I never felt unsafe.

Curfew isn't always ideal but I feel that it keep me accountable. Did I get into trouble? Yes, and was on probation for a while but the school worked with me and I learned from my mistake. Besides, if you are serious about your education there may be sometimes when you need that curfew to help you make sure and get some sleep. :)

The Faculty that I had regular contact with were very helpful. Especially the History department, where I spent most of my life, it seems. The professors know their stuff and are willing to work with everyone. I am actually continuing my graduate work with SAGU because of my wonderful History professors.

The social life of SAGU is much like anywhere else...DRAMA, fun, friendships that will last a lifetime!! Being so close to the Dallas-Ft. Worth area means there is always something to do...and if you chose something a bit more low key, Waxahachie is a nice little town with some of your average resturants and hangouts but is continually growing.All-in-all I am proud to be a member of the alumni of SAGU and would recommend the school to anyone (my sister and her best-friend currently attend).

I LOVE SAGU! This school is amazing. I have learned so much. The teachers are so willing to help, and work with you. I would never trade it for the world. I think that there are rules like curfew that many people have a problem with, but you go into the school knowing this. Anyways anywhere you go there will be rules and you just have to learn to deal with it. I think that the school tries to do as much as it can to protect you, but after everything it is up to the person if they're going to do something that they shouldn't.
