Hi, I'm giving some thought to attending college in Waxahachie, Texas. Has anyone here been to college in Waxahachie or knows anything about it? I’d be grateful for any info on what it’s like there.
Hey there! While I've never been to Waxahachie, Texas personally, I can definitely give you some details about the city and the college there.
First off, the college located in Waxahachie is called Southwestern Assemblies of God University (SAGU). It's a private Christian college and a part of the Assemblies of God USA. The academics at SAGU span numerous fields but are primarily grounded on Christian faith and principles. So, depending on your personal beliefs, that may be a deciding factor.
Now, a bit about the town of Waxahachie itself. It's somewhat of a small town, placed south of Dallas. It's known for its charming historic downtown area and easily accessible nature parks. Waxahachie does host a variety of events throughout the year, like the annual Scarborough Renaissance Festival, so there seems to be a community spirit in the town.
One thing to remember, though, is that small towns are often different from big cities. If you're used to a bustling city life, navigating small town dynamics could be an adjustment and something to consider.
I also get the sense that, because the town and university are smaller, SAGU students may have a tight-knit community feel, with more chances to get to know classmates and professors personally. Still, I'd encourage you to connect with current SAGU students or alumni for more personalized insights about life there.
I hope this helps, and let me know if you have any more specific questions!
