This school is more concerned with giving financial aid to athletes. I tried to work with Becky in the financial aid office and she was EXTREMELY rude and was not interested in helping make payment arrangements. She seems to be more interested in canceling students classes. When we went to her office she skipped us and helped another student and then called us to her office with an attitude.
Choosing this school was the perfect fit for me, I put in my time and did the work and the finished product was a ADD-ON License in administration. I had great professors in my conner Dr. Neal and Dr. Robertson, thank you for all you do !
Would like to see where I can go with this school. 🤔
Its ok but the swimming hours are stupid asf
The motto for GWU is "for God and humanity" however, a more appropriate motto would be "do all things for personal gain". GWU entices perspective students and parents with a false sense of a Christian community, leadership, and atmosphere. While the university may be nationally recognized for community service projects, this university in no way helps those students and families in need. The charitable handouts are not given to those who have poured out what is left of their money and savings to the university, but instead are given to the athletes while others are left to suffer. The cost of tuition is not only exceptionally high it's, in no way aided regardless of the students and families financial situation. If you are a millionaire or athlete, this is the school for you. Before applying to this university ask yourself: "what does the bible say about the rich getting richer while the poor suffer?" Deuteronomy 15: 7-9
Great school, the staff are very attentive. Anytime I had questions they were always on top of it and answered them accordingly. I am currently a junior and I love my school.
Hope it's my future college and I
Parents Perspective Personal Attention through the admissions process. Merit award matching or above other offers as compared to 7 other schools around the country. For our student, it was the right choice based upon Gardner Webb's "style" of education, mission statement, which is lived out, and high quality education focused on high academic success. The school has made certain through its programs and interactions with the new students that the transition process is smooth and genuine in building relationships between the school itself, the faculty, and the other students. Our student is required to serve & attend events for 40 hours, each semester, within their field of study out in the community, in addition to all their course work. Granted our students field of study is to work directly with the public, thus it is extremely beneficial. However, it often requires over an hour drive or more to a larger city to accomplish these requirements. Thus an added cost and you need a car or to make friends with others attending who have a car. Yes, the school is relatively small in a very small town. The school works very hard at providing fun activities for the students on campus on a very regular basis. For our family, sending your first child to school over a thousand miles from home is much easier if your student learns they indeed have made the right choice in schools. Gardner Webb has more than met our expectations and our students which has brought about much happiness for us all. They are exactly what they represent and if your personal mission is not a good match with the schools, it is probably not the place for you. If however, you check out the website and are intrigued, then you visit and it feels like a good fit - especially in its education offering and mission, Gardner Webb should be seriously considered, even though you might be compromising on your desire for a "big school in the city." Our student has found giving up the big city component was not a big compromise compared to how happy they are with everything else at Gardner Webb.
