I'm reviewing this place because of their awesome children's programs. Christy, the children's librarian does an incredible job. Tuesdays at 10 AM is Story Time for ages 3-5, with guest readers. On Superhero Day, the children had to go through an obstacle course and perform heroic tasks, like lifting boulders and saving a baby from lava (of course it was make believe).Recently, Bright Star Children's Theater put on a production of The Ugly Duckling; it was highly interactive- they asked the kids how they felt and what they would have done in the story. The same week, a professional children's musician, Miss Lynn, came and performed a concert; her music was silly and fun with infectious melodies. It was really awesome. We bought the CD. Yeah, this library is pretty cool.

The two doors open easily and the box is in excellent condition. There's even a chair here to rest. Three shelves of paperbacks and hardcovers. A wide variety of options and I chose to take the Duchovny book (which I didn't actually enjoy, but that's no matter). Great library. The steward is Leah Parker. This is Little Free Library charter 29518 and their online caption reads, "Our family's love of reading made us want to make it easy for our friends and neighbors to be able to access books in their own community. Sometimes it's easier to take a short walk down the street to get a new book, rather than driving to the city's library or the bookstore. We're happy to make it possible for more people, whether they are kids, seniors, or those in between, to get reading!" [Review 14923 overall, 425 of 2021, number 2823 in North Carolina.]

Especially if that's the sort of book you're looking for. [Review 14938 overall, 440 of 2021, number 2837 in North Carolina.]

It is nice to see students going to Bible studay during their free time on weekdays and Church on Sunday. Yes there are some students and staff that may not be Christian but maybe they will be Baptised before they leave. As one reviewer wrote it would be nice if ALL staff and Professors were Christian and have more open Prayer. I hope the College continues with Baptist views as that is what sets this university apart form the thousands of liberal party schools out there.

Our daughter chose this university for three reasons: it is a "Christian" school, it had the…read moremajor/minor she wanted, and for its location. I'll start with the positive. The location is beautiful. And we were thankful that the two degrees she was seeking were both offered at one university. Unfortunately, we were completely disappointed with the lack of Christian elements. We simply didn't find the Christian components we had hoped for. Even during the orientation week, meetings with parents didn't involve an opening prayer, and the focus wasn't directed towards a daily walk and relationship with Jesus. Our Christian life shouldn't be reserved for just Sundays; our hope that Jesus would be honored in what was happening on campus simply didn't materialize. Maybe this is just the state of our world, but as an example, we were very unhappy to find out that at the time of registration, the university had a lesbian in charge of housing. Additionally, one of our daughter's professors was a lesbian. While they were both kind, we disapprove of that lifestyle based on the teaching of Scripture. By hiring these women to play significant leadership roles, the university seems to be condoning that lifestyle. How is this an appropriate choice when choosing leaders for a Christian university? Our daughter also shared with us that in a different class, the professor asked the students about where they thought they would end up after they passed; not one person other than our daughter said "Heaven" because of salvation through Christ! Sadly, our daughter had great difficulty finding quality Christian friends. We also had issues with the billing procedures of the university. The bill we received to start her sophomore year omitted her housing charges. After taking a significant loan out to pay for what we thought we owed for the school year, we were advised of this mistake and had to pay the amount out-of-pocket. It was $6,000 in total! Though it was their error, there was no compensation on our behalf. Additionally, though she should have been given priority regarding her housing location due to her disabilities, due to this error, her room wasn't assigned to her until shortly before she arrived for her sophomore year rather than early in the summer months. The disabilities department was disappointing as well. Rather than go to bat for her, she had to advocate for herself in many instances. In one specific situation, a professor expected her to attend class regularly while our daughter believed she could do the class virtually. When those wires got crossed, the disabilities department would not play the role of advocate for our daughter and she received a failing grade; she had to retake the class the following semester. We were also disappointed in learning that on long weekends, the campus pretty much shuts down, including the dining options. Unlike many students who live nearby, our girl was stuck alone on campus (we live many states away) without the provision of food. One time she was alone during the aftermath of a hurricane with a ghost town of a campus and without power. We could share more, but needless to say, she had a terrible experience. She is no longer enrolled in GWU and is much happier doing her studies online with another college. If you are seeking a university that will saturate your son or daughter with God's Word and provide a rich Christian education that challenges their relationship with Jesus, we would encourage you to look elsewhere. Should you choose to enroll your son or daughter at GWU, we hope your experience is better than ours.
