My favorite thing about campus is the ministry aspect! Being in womens ministry and Bible study groups is a life changer. The staff have all been so encouraging from my admissions counselor Molly who was the best! To the professors. I’ve enjoyed my time at GWU so far.

Overall a great college experience but there has been a TON of staff/faculty turnover. There is also a big disconnect between upper leadership and students. Housing is a nightmare but they're doing their best. For the most part, professors are great and do care about students. The community is really what will make or break your experience here.

Really great school. I have enjoyed my time here and the professors in the business department are great. I feel like their MBA program has better prepared me for the future. They care about their students and want to help.

This place is a dead end. There is nothing redeeming about this school. It costs too much, it's horribly mismanaged and the professors are only in it for a pay check. I personally came out with $25000 worth of debt and a useless degree. I was promised 100% job placement and I'm a year and a half out and unemployed. Please don't go to school here.

do not come here.
Overall 1.1
This is an easy school to get a degree at, the teachers are not even remotely challenging. I was really disappointed in 90% of the professors, with the exception of Dr. Godfrey in the accounting department. He is fantastic and really makes sure you learn and understand the topic.
Overall 1.6
If you come to Gardner-Webb, you wont land a job once you graduate. This is not a good university and no job connections. Good to a university that will help you land a job, and has networking opportunities.
Overall 1.7
The school only attracts to people of high status and the athletic type. Tuition is very high for such a small school and help is only offered unless you beg for it.
Overall 1.7
Too expensive.
