Life University

What does Life University offer in terms of athletics?

Life University competes in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, or NAIA, under the Running Eagles name. Its athletics offerings include sports such as basketball, soccer, swimming and diving, wrestling, track and field, and volleyball.

The broader list of sports associated with the university also includes activities such as rugby, ice hockey, bowling and weightlifting. Prospective participants should check the current athletics roster to distinguish a varsity team from a club or another form of competition; that distinction affects tryouts, travel and scholarship rules. Recreational participation need not involve joining an intercollegiate team.

What student groups and Associations are available at Life University?

Life University students have opportunities to join academic, professional, cultural and activity-focused organizations. Reported examples include Student Ambassadors, Campus Activities Board, League of Chiropractic Women, Functional Neurology Club and Hispanic Club.

Those examples illustrate different reasons to participate: professional clubs can connect coursework with a field of practice, while cultural and programming groups offer ways to meet peers and organize events. Students interested in a particular group should check its current meeting schedule and membership rules; a name in an organization listing does not establish how frequently a club is active.

Who studies at Life University?

Life University reported 2,714 students enrolled across its programs. Its population includes first-time undergraduates, transfer students and students pursuing graduate or professional study, so the campus should not be understood solely through its freshman class.

Reported entering undergraduate figures include 225 first-time degree-seeking students and 138 transfer-in students. For the reported geographic breakdown, 52% were from Georgia, 31% from other U.S. states and 17% from outside the United States. These figures describe the specified reporting population, not necessarily every student enrolled at the university.

The reported student-to-faculty ratio is 13 to 1. That institution-wide ratio does not indicate the size of every class or the amount of individual contact available in a particular program.

How does student life look like at Life University?

Everyday life at Life University combines a residential campus with a substantial commuter population. That mix can make the timing of classes, activities and travel especially important for students trying to participate beyond coursework.

Students can connect through campus programming, organizations and recreation. The institution also reports a health clinic and personal or psychological counseling. For a new student, orientation and the first weeks of a term are useful times to identify study spaces, support offices and activities that fit their schedule, particularly if they will not remain on campus after classes.

What libraries are available to students at Life University?

Life University's main academic library is Library & Learning Services. It provides a place for course research and study, and students can reserve study rooms.

Students working on a paper or clinical topic should use the library's research assistance and academic resources to locate and evaluate relevant sources, rather than relying only on a general web search. Study-room availability and opening hours can change by term; the library is not reported as having study areas open 24 hours a day.
