Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Psychology  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Bright Gardner-Webb is a great place if you are looking for a smaller school that can offer you more direct personal attention. Sure, some of the people can come across as arrogant and "holier than thou", but in my experience it is pretty avoidable. I'm a Christian, but I don't believe in pretending to be better than anyone or hold myself in higher regard than non-Christians, and I feel like you can probably find friends here no matter what you believe. The thing that gets to me sometimes is the setting. The town has one stoplight, so when you want to find something outside of the school to do Charlotte is usually the best bet. You should definitely visit just so you know what your surroundings will be like. All in all, if you want a big state school feel, don't come here. If you want a smaller, private school feel with more attention from professors, then you should come here. Individual Value: A+, Useful Schoolwork: F Have a Question?

You don't have to be baptist to go here, but most people do come here because it's Christian. While we're not conservative, we're not completely liberal either as a place at UNC-Chapel Hill would be. It's your choice to come here, I chose to come here because I felt that this is where God was leading me to be. You don't have religion shoved down your throat everywhere you go, that is an extreme exaggeration. While it is present, it is not forced onto you, except for Dimensions, which is a required course you have to take 6 semesters of (its only .5 credit). The students are friendly and you can always find someone to talk with. The professors will bend over backwards to help you out. And while G-W is in a small, one stop-light town, you find things to do with your friends that make college that much better. It's not all about partying here, so if that's what you're looking for I would suggest you look for another school, because that's not the environment here. Although there is some partying, the vast majority don't partake, and thats okay; it's your decision. Individual Value: A+, Campus Aesthetics: A- Have a Question?

It is a baptist school and they expect you to follow there values and beliefs. I am one of only 5 catholics here and its like a holding cell in a jail. People look down on you if you don't stand and sing songs the way they do. and its like they shun you if you don't carry a bible around. The Atheltic teams are a joke. They are all talk and no bite.. Are football team walk around and act like they own the school. Half of the team are stupid and have no common sense and yet the staff and faculty treat them like royalty. Our basketball team are exactly the same way they have no skill. and when it comes to the athletes, they can come in drunk or hungover the professors just overlook them. The only reason why the atheletes are here is becasue no other school wanted them... and Gardner-Webb is desperate. The one and only good thing about GWU is the fact that the prfessors are really nice and are so willing to help you. Yet they get treated like shit by the athletes. Nightlife isn't too bad. I mean if you like to shop then you are 20 mins away from Gaffney South Carolina. you are like an hour away from Charlotte and all that jazz, and you can go skiing in boone and sugar mountain... other than that don't do anything on campus unless you want religion to be shoved down your throat 24/7 Faculty Accessibility: B+, Extracurricular Activities: D- Have a Question?

You ARE frowned upon if you are not into religious studies. I don't try to turn people to believe what I believe. For a christian university they sure a judgmental and will take you for granted. They take the staff for granted too. I cant count the employees who love their job but hate their co-workers. What is even more sad is the President has no clue what his university is truly like. They are a rip and I tell people not to go there. I would have much rather gone to a community college. Campus Aesthetics: C+, Education Quality: F Have a Question?
