REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingIt has a beautiful campus, and is easily accessible. Very progressive in its future endeavours. All around a fun, and worth while University to attend.
Ben from Cameron, NC
Methodist University is a very friendly college. The professors are very helpful and they're really easy to talk to. The small class sizes is excellent which means more one on one time with the professors.
Carlasha from Fayetteville, NC
I absolutely love the student to professor ratio. Other than the general Biology classes, none of my classes have more than 30 students which makes a world of difference when it comes to academics. My professors know me on a first name basis and if I need extra help, they are more than happy to set up a time for me to come see them in their office hours that they have set. We also are expanding our buildings and updating the technology in our classrooms. Our simulation lab is top notch for the criminology students and there is a brand new science building for all Biology and Chemistry students. There is also a brand new Art building for the more creative students.
Kaitlyn from Conover, NC
methodist university is small but powerful. each teacher gived you office hours to go and see them and if you can't make it in those few hours you can send them an email and request an appointment to talk to them. by the end of the semester they know who you and will even talk to you as you pass them in the halways later on even when your not in their class. your a million in one at this school instead of one in a million!
Alisha from Iron Station, NC
Methodist University, would be an excellent choice for college searching students. The financial assistance is great. I believe I wouldn't find a better experience anywhere else.
