Review of Gardner-Webb University

Describe your college in three sentences.

Gardner-Webb is a great university with a close and caring community, both on campus and off campus. Though it is located in a small town there are activities to participate in every weekend and throughought the week. This is a wonderful school which helps students financially and where you actually get your money's worth!

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Taking a tour of the campus would be a great start to getting a feel for the community. You will find many people greet you and make you feel welcome.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

Professors challege students academically both inside the classroom and out. You are challenged to think critically and explore ideas that may be different from your own. Though the work is challenging, the professors are always available if you need help or have questions.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

The dorm community is very nice to experience. One is allowed the chance to meet many new people and make new friends whilst living in a dorm. The facilities in the dorms along with the room sizes are pleasing. The housekeeping staff does a great job of keeping things sanitary, neat , clean, and also smelling nice. The people you live with also help keep things tidy because no one wants to live in a dirty mess!

Describe the food and dining at your college.

There are many options to choose from in the cafeteria from vegetarian options, wraps, burgers, pizza, sandwiches, pasta, soup, salad bar, fruit bar, dessert bar, ice cream, and many more options! Chick-fil-A is also a great option along with World of Wings (WOW) and Simply To Go. You can also use Flex Points to shop in the store on cmapus and cook you oown meals if you so desire. There are also many restaurants and grocery stores off campus to get food from such as Ingles, Olive Garden, Papa's Pizza, Ruby Tuesday, Fatz Cafe, Dollar General, Italian Garden, Walmart, and IHOP just to name a few select.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

There are many activities one can take part in. During the warm months students enjoy going down to the Broad River Greenway for a picnic, fishing, pictures, swimming, or to play on the playground. Right outside of town there is also bowling, movie theatres, and many shopping venues. On campus there are also activities every weekend from foam parties, to gameshows (in which you can win money), concerts, to sports games and bounce houses, balloons, FOOD, races, and much, much more! Student activities does a wonderful job of planning things for students and one great thing about Gardner-Webb is that there is Food at every event!

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

The campus is very safe. The campus is well-lit particularly at night and campus police are at your service at the touch of a button. There are emergency stations placed in conveinient areas around campus, and the Boiling Springs police are right down the road if you need them. The gentlemen on campus are also quite helpful as they will escort the ladies back to their dorms at night if she so chooses.
