When you come to Lipscomb, be prepared: the moment you step onto campus, you’ll feel the energy. That’s because being a Bison means being busy. Living, playing, worshipping, competing—all the things we do together make us stronger as individuals and as a community (and we’re not allergic to having some fun while we’re at it). Lots of information here, but if you’re looking for what it means to be a Bison in a nutshell, click here.
Whether you're just having fun with friends, exercising, serving the community or sharing a talent, you'll find Lipscomb's campus is the place to make the most of your college experience.
If Bison Square is the heart of campus, Bennett is the soul. It's a hub for all things "social" where 24/7 students can go to relax, eat, study or just hang out. Inside you'll find Bison Cafe, a food court with sushi, pizza, quesadillas and more, The Connection, TV areas and conference rooms, and our bookstore. Connected to it is Shamblin Theatre and an amphitheater, both home to a variety of performances, meetings, debates and special events. Bennett is also home to our Student Life offices, so feel free to stop by and say hello.
The Student Activities Center, a.k.a. "the SAC," is more 20,000 square feet of sports and exercise facilities open to students, faculty and the community. Lipscomb students, faculty and staff are given free memberships and can enjoy any of the space and equipment. The SAC features weight rooms, basketball & racquetball courts, a spinning studio, a performance studio, an indoor track and locker rooms.
While this isn't NCAA Division I sports, you'll have just as much fun. Be part of a team and compete against others on campus and surrounding areas. You'll make new friends, work together as a team and have a chance to show your competitive spirit. You can create your own team or join an existing one in the fall and spring playing such sports as kickball, ultimate Frisbee, softball, putt-putt golf, tennis, football, racquetball, volleyball, basketball and more.
For almost all students, some of their greatest memories of Lipscomb will be those made while living on campus. Here, you're part of a special community where friendships made will last a lifetime.
What makes Lipscomb unique is our commitment to each student's spiritual formation. You can be part of different chapel worships, special retreats and other events that will become an inspirational part of your life on campus.
