If you do not like rules or don't follow rules well I would recommend you think hard before deciding to go here. There rules are not unreasonable to me for the most part but I know people who did not agree with them ans transferred. I think some boundaries are good, even healthy. But if you don't agree really get to know the school first.

Amazing sunrises and sunsets all around campus. Chapel at 10am 22 times a semester, only on Monday's and Wednesday's is so enlightening . Such a great place to embrace the gospel and worship God with fellow Christians.

Great school
Overall 4.3
This school is amazing and I had amazing opportunities there. I was very pleased with my education and the affordability of it. The classes were small so I really got to know my professors and I still go back and visit them. The campus is beautiful with peaceful mountain scenery, yet still accessible to nearby restaurants and shopping centers.

A wonderful environment to be in. The Christian atmosphere makes all the difference and teachers always pray with you. They also care about how you are doing academically and personally and are willing to help you in any way possible. I love it here!

All North Greenville needed to be perfect was a Chick-fil-a, and guess what? NGU got one.

NGU is a Christian university which makes it very unique. The academics are challenging but the professors are very helpful. The location in the mountains is beautiful

SO MANY RULES! There are so many more cons than there are pros. Please reconsider before coming here. I regret starting this school and it's hard to transfer out. There is nothing to do here and you have to have a car to get anywhere close to a place to have fun. But becareful because they will look for ways to kick you out. Watch out for the RA's.

Food sucks! if you live on campus you will have great legs because of the hills. The food sucks! The school will probably not be around for another 10 years because of very very poor financial decisions. It is so boring and there are certain people in the clubs and Residential life (students) who live double lives and aren't strong Christians

I have never felt more alone on a campus than here. The professors dont help and the location is pretty and the christian aspect is nice, but Its not for me.
Overall 1.8
I transferred here after my dream school backfired. There have been(and still are) people, both students & professors, who I wouldn't trade for anything & who've made it worth my while, but I kind of hate NGU as both an institution & a physical place. Too small & isolated both culturally & geographically.

This school is in the middle of nowhere. 20 minutes to get anywhere easy. Too many pointless rules and way to hard to transfer out. North Greenville is like a black hole pertaining to credit hours; easy to get in, but hard to get out!
Overall 1.9
Strict rules and uptight faculty and staff.

Easy to get into. The internet sucks(but im pretty sure it does most places). There is literally nothing to do here. If you want a social life you must have a car or a friend who has one. Food is nothing special. I usually drive home for every meal even though I reside here. The teachers are alright.
