Making ACU Her Own

ACU was always on Cameryn’s college radar, but when it came time to choose, she joined her best friend at another university. After one semester, Cameryn began the transfer to ACU. 

“I knew ACU was the right fit. My scholarships were still available, my classes were easy to transfer and the professors were so set on my success coming in. I had a friend group within a few weeks of being here, and I’m still getting plugged in.”
