Azusa Pacific University

It is a private Christian school so naturally it’s over priced. The parking for freshman is a joke. My teachers were mostly good at with a lot of experience. I enjoyed the work to and from easy to west campus. The dorms were fine. It definitely had a different vibe in everyone so be sure to do your research. I got stuck in Engstrom, known for being a stuffy dorm. While I’m not a huge partier, I still enjoy getting out and doing things and ended up being stuck on campus a lot due to the people around me mostly being nursing majors. I enjoyed my freshman year and the people I met. Wish I could have explored more.

Pretty decent school the only thing I would say that they could improve on is creating a balance between their Christian values and the actual information that students need to matriculate. They also need to be a little bit more open to diversity. It’s a really lovely campus and most of the people there are friendly. Their music department is excellent.

I applied to the adult studies program to finish up my bachelors degree in late 2010. This means I actually attended classes at a satellite campus, not the main campus in Azusa. The satellite facilities are excellent and your graduation ceremony is held at the same time as the convention students. This was a very touch, in that it facilitated family coming to see your college graduation. Although I only visited the main a few times, somehow they make you feel connected to the entire university. I was extremely pleased with the caliber of instruction that each instructor provided. Every aspect of this school is well managed and professional. I completed a bachelors degree Human Development and successfully transitioned into a teaching credentialing program at a state school. I read some reviews below giving the school one star.... the reasons should not be a surprise.... "they don't approve of same gender relationships", "they have strict rules".... Well, yes, it is a Christian college and they CLEARLY point out what they believe and what they reinforce when going through the admissions process. In the end, this school is a great choice, if you are looking for a college that has very low teacher to student ratios, this is it. If you are looking for a school that is safe for you or child, this is it. If you are looking to complete your bachelors, but can't make it Azusa, look into one of their satellite campuses.

I would have given this school a better review however the way they have handled covid has made me lose so much respect for this school. They have made the students lives a living hell, class is not only mandatory but your camera has to be on and if it’s not we don’t receive credit for class. If we have more than a certain amount of absences they take up to 3% off of our grade for every additional absence... ridiculous. Not to mention they raised tuition for students instead of giving us some of our money back because of the certain circumstances. They will find any way possible to charge you money. Even if you miss chapel they charge you money! Ridiculous

One of if not the best place to watch College Softball in the San Gabriel valley. Always enjoy watching a game or 2 there. Azusa Pacific always play double headers. Easy to get there and parking is right next to Stadium. So if you looking to get out of the house don't hesitate to go to APU Softball 🥎 game. You will truly enjoy. …

I enjoyed the majority of the students there, and the professors I had were great, but the way this place is ran is sadly a joke and they will do everything they can to get your money. Someone graffitied "Money First" on campus a few years back, mocking their motto "God First," and I sadly can't agree more with the graffiti. People can try to discredit that due to it being graffiti, but I believe it's the voice of equally upset students speaking up.

They are awful neighbors. Our neighborhood finally had to pay to have no parking signs installed in the neighborhood to keep students from blocking our driveways. Staff at APU lied to us year after year telling us they were working on the problem. After 9 years of believing them, but receiving no help, we had to go to the county supervisor and media to get help.
