Gardner-Webb is absolutely AMAZING!!! They have a clean, fun campus that is Christian oriented. This is one college you won't regret looking into!
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Definitely visit the campus and visit Gardner-Webb's website. On there you can find a virtual tour that takes you all over the campus. You need to see what kind of college's you like. This one is focused on Christians so you need to see if you like that or not.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The amount of time and effort these professors put into their students is unbelievable. This is a one time thing at Gardner-Webb that you may or may not find at other colleges. I sat in on a class and it was AMAZING! If you are serious about Gardner, definitely sit in on a class. It is worth it's wait and gold. I learned so much in 2 hours from an awesome professor. The classes are small and you WILL get to know your professor here!
Describe the dorm life at your college.
The dorm life is amazing. Even though the halls aren't coed, the apartments are. The dorms are separated by gender and class. The bathrooms are clean and homey unlike most colleges. The rooms are air conditioned and the rooms are livable.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The food is delicious andddd...they have a chocolate milk machine!!! The best thing EVER! They also have a Starbucks and Chick Fila, which seems to be a must on most Campus' these days. They have a cafeteria that is buffet style with a HUGE variety.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There are tons of things to do on campus. First of all they have a wicked rock climbing wall in the Tucker Student Center. They also have a high ropes course kind-of thing in the woods. You could go swimming in their indoor pool, whenever the swim teams not meeting of course. There's sports, sports games, laying under the trees. Eating. Going into the drive-in movies. Going to Fuzzy Peach and eating Frozen Yogurt!! There are also student lead nights and just going to church can be fun. There is always something to keep you busy on campus which is really nice.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Gardner Webb does have a free application if you do it online which is good for us poor people. The fee is about $34,000 a year, which isn't that bad for what it offers. It's would definitely be worth it though!
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
They have this one tradition they do every year where they don't wear shoes for the entire day to raise awareness and to get a feel for the poor people that don't have shoes.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
This is definitely for someone who wants to get a degree but stay close to God. I haven't been connected with the Lord lately but this is a school that does that exactly. There are 40 churches in a mile radius of the place in all directions, from what I heard at the visit.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
They have tons of activities and clubs. Too many clubs to list. They have Christian activities and giving back to the community activities and many, many, MANY clubs! If they don't have a club you can make one which is nice.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
They never talked about Greek Life on the tour but if your interested you can contact them or ask them whenever you visit.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
They have 3 different kinds of police on campus. They will escort you anywhere if you feel unsafe or if there is ever an emergency you just dial their number and they'll be there in less than 60 seconds. They also have swipey cards to get in the dorms and other buildings so some person off the street can't get in. No one that shouldn't be there can't get in.
