Experience Caring Community
You may choose Samford for its exceptional academics, but you will come to love it because of the extraordinary people who create a warmhearted campus community.
Samford students come from diverse backgrounds around the nation and world. They create friendships of depth and substance because they know we can achieve more together than we ever could alone.
On your visit, you can get to know students who show you around campus. They will give you a taste of the affirming community that lets you grow and thrive.
Places to Connect
Intramurals in Bashinsky Fieldhouse. Picnicking at Ben Brown Plaza. Late-night group study sessions at Davis Library. Backpacking at Oak Mountain. The beautiful places here are more than spaces to enjoy—they are proving grounds where Samford students inspire, motivate and support each other as they reach their own fullest potential. Come see it for yourself.
“You can find a community anywhere, but at Samford, you will build connections that propel you for life.
“The students, faculty and staff share a belief system and a vision for the future that creates bonds through unity. The relationships I formed at Samford—and the relationships I continue to form with the Samford family around the world—have been one of the strongest parts of my personal, spiritual and professional life.”

“When friends of mine at other universities talk about Greek life at their schools, it is like we are talking about totally different things. At Samford, it reflects the nature of the school—intimate, friendly and focused on fostering authentic relationships.
“You can join a fraternity or sorority or not, and either way, people are interested in getting to know the whole of you.”
