The votes are in, and California Baptist University is once again on top!
Niche recently posted an updated review of CBU. Niche rating is a numerical rank assigned to K-12 schools and colleges. The rating is based on analysis of public data from the U.S. Department of Education and also factored in general college data, test scores and reviews from students, parents and alumni.
CBU received an overall Niche grade of A-, and won the title for third Best College Campus in America. The ranking was out of 1,394 campuses. CBU also ranked fourth for best college food in America.
Niche also polled CBU students on its website, asking various questions about campus life. When asked, “What is your overall opinion of your school and the campus community?” 55% of students responded that they “love everything about my school and have a lot of campus pride.”
A CBU graduate student left a review on the Niche website. “If you want to go to the mountains, Big Bear, Idyllwild, and Oak Glen are nearby. If you love the beach, the coast of Orange County and San Diego is also within an hour of driving,” the student said.
While CBU has so much to offer on campus, the location alone gives students opportunities for adventure. Riverside is at the center of all that Southern California has to offer, which makes it a prime location for college students.
Another CBU student, a junior, left a review on the website stating, “One aspect I particularly appreciated was the integration of faith and learning,” adding that “CBU encourages students to explore their spirituality and incorporate it into their academic journey, which adds a unique dimension to the educational experience.”
CBU dominated in the country’s rankings for campus life categories such as housing, food and campus. It also holds the community charm admired by students and Riverside residents.
Statistics helped demonstrate the school’s value, but they were not necessary. CBU did not need numbers to know this university was a place worthy of calling home.
