This place was top notch. They definitely care and put into the students. Check-in was so easy. Seemed hectic but when you have that many students, you have to expect it. Went off without a hitch!

The friendly faculty and staff are great. Dr Epting is a president who really does care for his students. He remembers what's happening in your life and is always more than happy to give you a hug (my type of guy). The education was great, not quite excellent. The Youth Ministry program needed a little help on fair grading (some of us were well more prepared for speeches and assignments and would receive the same grades as though who were definitely not). But the overall education was great. The English department was intense (the couple classes I had to take). The campus is beautiful with a great view. Didn't stay on campus, was too far out of the way, easier to drive when I had class. Would highly recommend it to those looking for a great education at a great price.

We are currently here to week for Fuge camp. The grounds are nice and the staff is friendly. Only issue I have is when I need restroom I am really far away from ones that I can access. I wish cafeteria bathroom had access when closed.

The initial impression is that North Greenville is a friendly campus. The lasting impression is that North Greenville is a friendly campus. In no other environment have I experienced such kind, sacrificial service. Faculty and staff put others before them. The academic life is not meritorious of highest prestige, but it is better than the average university. The smaller classes allow students to have discussions and actually learn something rather than fall victim to academic bulimia. The student life is not the most exciting, but the purpose of college is not to party. There are rules that can seem overbearing, but are protective. If students were allowed in girls' dorms, I would have never attended class. Overall, I loved my time spent at NGU and the school is very deserving of a 4 star rating.

The 2017 Carolina Bowl was played at NGU football stadium. Teams from North and South Carolina participated. They have very nice facilities . The field is artificial turf and nice to play on... The home seating is very adequate and close to restrooms and food concessions.. Plenty of paved parking also. We had a snowy day on Saturday..but the players had a great time playing in it.

Every school has its ups and downs, While it's true that NGU does highly rely on their chaplains, RAs and, Assistance Coordinators it's in an effort to remain fiscally responsible and keep cost down. The students they do employ 95% of the time genuinely care about their peers and love the school.
As far as the quality of their education goes, I would say that NGU has prepared me well for the field of education, and is continuing to improve their programs.
I definitely grew spiritually while I was there. I greatly appreciate everyone-students and professors alike-who invested in me.

NGU Exposed- From an Alumni

NGU offers a lot to students that may have little to no spiritual background. They are known for leading people to Christ, and helping them to grow.

If you were to ask me if I would donate money to NGU? The answer would be no. The stewardship of the money they have received in the past is highly questionable. The former president has been rumored to be in trouble for embezzlement.

If you were to ask me if I trusted the faculty and staff at NGU with my children? the answer would be mostly yes, but I would proceed with caution. The Student Services staff hovers over students and looks for opportunities to have them kicked out so they can still keep the money for the student being at the school while still collecting the financial revenue of the student being enrolled. Multiple staff members have been fired in the previous two years due to infidelities (including speculation that this is why the president resigned). One of the Faculty was a counselor on campus and was sleeping with the student that they were counseling.

With all this, the professors are incredible. They care about the students, and setting them up for succes. not so much for the staff.

Does Christ really make the difference at NGU? No. It doesn't. It's a nice front, but in reality, the staff (not faculty) is inflated with this idea of spiritual pride that leaves students more turned off to Christianity than rather leading them to God.

I would not send my child to NGU if I had a say so in it. NGU served a purpose, but unless you are studying a Christian Studies degree, it's not the place to be.

Great school. Great teachers. Small enough that you feel heard, but big enough that you're not known by name and last name. They have rules, but the rules are nothing to be worried about. Teachers are caring, and you feel like they want you to actually learn. The campus is not out of this world, and technology is not their strong suit. However, they're making an effort to change that. Imo is far enough to feel like you're in a different world entirely, but close enough that in about 15 minutes you can be near downtown greenville.
