Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Although the school is religiously affiliated, the campus is not at all uptight or overly strict. There are certain rules and requirements that students may find unfair or unreasonable, but most of them are academics-oriented. Very rarely do the students’ complains have anything to do with their freedom to party and to do as they wish. The Campus Police are really there to protect the students, not hunt them down and bust them for perhaps having a little more fun than they need to. Students who do drink and abide by the rules may never get a second glance from security, but those who make fools of themselves and aren’t particularly careful may find themselves getting into trouble. As long as you keep it in your dorm room or abide by the ‘opaque container’ rule, you can party as much as you like. Security treats BSC students as though they are responsible and mature, and so long as they act that way, there won’t be any problems. Most parties go on without a hitch, so the Campus Police don’t have much to regulate anyways. They may make a casual appearance from time to time, but they rarely make a scene or catch students in the act. If you want to see strictness, however, all you have to do is take a trip to the other side of town to Samford University, which is a dry campus and notorious for their strict policies.

Because We Work Hard...They Let Us Play Hard

There is always something happening on campus. Most weekends, everyone wants to stay in town because social life is HUGE on the weekends. The school is tied up with sports, clubs, activities, and lots of studying during the weekdays, so everyone lets loose on Fridays and Saturdays. Alcohol is tolerated if used responsibly. If you're stumbling around or out of control...expect a citation and a fatherly talk from the Campus Police officers. For the most part, the campus police is awesome. I always feel safe and they are known as Fatherly figures on Campus. As a matter of fact, the head of campus police leads a talk for freshman about safety and reads the lyrics to Rascal Flatt's "My Wish" to express his feelings toward the students and why there needs to be enforcement.

Honor Is Important

BSC students all are required to abide by the Honor Code, which can be found on the school website. Students who violate the Honor Code in some way, be it drinking while underage, possessing illegal drugs, or cheating, will have a hearing before the Honor Council, a group of students selected each year to decide on appropriate consequences in such situations.

The Honor Code

all students are abided by the honor code. If you break any of those rules listed in the honor code you could risk fines, flunking a class to getting kicked out. For the most part people don't break the honor code. Not strict on underage drinking, parties at the fraternity row are very common.
