Dallas Baptist University is a nationally-ranked Christian institution that has served its namesake city for over a century. The university combines faith-based education with core academics to cultivate a balanced experience for its approximately 5,000 students. The charming campus is anchored by the magnificent Pilgrim Chapel, which serves as not only the center of worship on campus, but also a major classroom building, recreation hall, and office space.

While inside the Dallas city limits, the campus occupies a tranquil suburban enclave on the shores of Mountain Creek Lake. The lake and its surrounding parks, golf course, and sports fields provide terrific scenery as well as ideal opportunities to spend your free time outdoors. Rentals within walking distance of campus are somewhat rare, but affordable apartments, houses, and condos can be found in nearby neighborhoods like Redbird and Westwood Park. Downtown Dallas is only a few minutes to the northeast, allowing you to easily take advantage of the shopping, dining, and entertainment of the city center anytime.
