    North Greenville is by far the best University in my opinion. There is so much that you can do. You can really concentrate on your academics there. The professors are really nice too, especially mine! I'm a Music Ed. Major, so it's really important that I understand the material that I am learning at the particular time. The music professors do a really good job on checking on their students as well as encouraging their students and making sure that they are ok and cheering them up if they are sad!

    North Greenville University is a place filled with loving and caring people. Everyone on campus, even down to the landscapers, care about you. They all want you to have the best experience and desire for you to be taken care of.
    The professors are absolutely incredible. Because of the smaller class size, you are able to connect with your professors on a deeper level than just a number. They know your name and recognize you walking on campus. They care about you and your well-being. I have encountered many professors who have invested their time and energy into helping not only with my grades but with my everyday struggles. This is a special place and you will not regret coming here.
    North Greenville is a small college located in Tigerville, South Carolina. It is a Christ-centered community of professors, students, and faculty. When I began my journey with NGU, I was greeted with smiles and and a heartfelt welcome. The light of Christ just radiated all throughout the people there. Christ is most important in my life, so it was awesome to be around others who felt the same way I do. I am going into my Sophomore year of college as a Biology major in hopes of one day being a Neonatal Nurse. Already, my professors have helped me to achieve a successful first year of college.
