Here's your chance: Say anything about your college!

Rebekah

The one thing that is unique about Gardner-Webb, compared to other schools is the sense of community between the students and staff. Siince it is a very small school, the classes are smaller. This means that you get more one on one time with your teachers, and you get to know your classmates very well. In bigger schools, you might have a class with three-hundred students in it, but at Gardner-Webb that same class mihgt only have around twenty five students. This aspect helps students adjust to college life, and makes the college experience a little easier.

Sarah

Gardner-Webb is unique compared to the other schools I considered for many reasons. The two most important reasons to me are the type of school it is, and also the size of the school. Gardner-Webb is a Christian based university who is circlec upon Christ. I really was drawn to that because I wanted to attend a school to where I could continue developing my walk with God. I also was impressed with the size. There is a 1 to 14 teacher to student ratio. You are able to get personal with your professors.

Sarah

The campus is small and the people on campus accept others as part of their family. Even though the school is not perfect in appearance, the students and staff are the heart of the school and make you feel at home there.

Trista

It is a small, private college. Therefore, the teacher to student ratio is very small and I find that the professors are easily accessed if needed. They are also very passionate about helping in any way they possibly can. The other schools I considered did not have this luxury and I have found that it plays a large role in my success to be able to speak easily with professors.

GWU is a unique place where the individual is respected and honored. Students are supported and cared for by both faculty and administration.

Jordan

Gardner-Webb students, faculty and staff volunteer their time and talents to the surrounding community through various campus wide volunteer programs. In addition to providing campus wide service programs, the office also serves as a resource center and clearinghouse for volunteer information. If a student is undecided about his/her life journey, GWU will attempt to get them on the right track. The student must be willing to take the first step.

Gardner-Webb is a very small campus, but 85{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of students who attend here like it this way. Our campus is making a lot of revisions and we just broke ground for a brand new student center that will be built my Fall of 2012. Most students that I come in contact with here appear to love this place, and it is encouraging for the freshman coming in to see how well most of us truly love being here. No, this town does not have a lot going on on the weekends, but we still absolutely love it!
