Hannah - 02/17/2020

Greenville is okay. I would change certain things that is for sure. The gym should be 24 hour access (I was told it would be when I first came here), the food could be a lot better there's never much of a variety and the dining hours aren't great with my major, and there isn't a whole lot to do here in town. I am a biology & chemistry double major, and I can say the science department professors are amazing. I have learned quite a lot being up here! I have to brag on Marcello for sure. He is the professor who showed me what I want to do for the rest of my life!

Jourdan - 01/13/2020

I would say this is an amazing school for someone who is profound in the spirituality, love small towns, small class sizes, and don't care about having to much to do recreationally. And the biggest sports here probably men's basketball and women's volleyball. There biggest major department would probably be the music department, so if that's your niche, this would be an amazing place for you to come. Be aware there isn't much to do and that this is an Christian University meaning there isn't a big party life scene here on campus let alone any other events that you would have at regular public schools. It's not very diverse, but they are adamant about community and your spiritual faith as far as Christian belief. They also are very tight knit on having that close one on one experience with your professors, pretty hard to fail here. Which makes it not that stimulating academically, spiritually, and just growth as an individual period. Like I said before, if you are into small town farm vibes, this is for you if not I suggest you go elsewhere, because there is nothing here for you.

Darrion - 07/15/2019

I feel as if the staff and fellow students will help you during difficult times if ever needed. And the campus feels like a sanctuary of some sort.

Brenden - 05/17/2019

It’s a nice small town University but also has some issues with judgmental students. Majority of the staff is more than qualified to teach here however there are some professors that many students agree should not teach here and should be dismissed. However that is not my place to decide. Greenville is overall a safe campus that can be enjoyed but is definitely not a party school.

  9. What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

    I really wish I would have known exactly how different college is from high school. I don't think I was prepared for the amount of homework and the wide range of subjects I would be taking. I also wish I would have known exactly what majors were offered and had researched which one would be best suited for me. Another thing I didn't know before coming to college was what it was like living in a dorm. I don't mind it now, but at first it seemed very strange.
