Rating 3.68 out of 5 792 reviews
Attending Wingate University has been an enriching experience, filled with opportunities for personal and academic growth. The campus's welcoming atmosphere fosters a sense of community, where students and faculty alike engage in meaningful interactions both inside and outside the classroom. The diverse range of courses offered has allowed me to explore various academic interests, while the dedicated professors have provided invaluable guidance and support along the way. Beyond academics, Wingate offers numerous extracurricular activities, from clubs and organizations to athletics, providing ample opportunities for students to develop leadership skills and pursue their passions. Additionally, the university's commitment to service and community engagement has inspired me to give back and make a positive impact both on campus and in the surrounding community.
Overall, Wingate produces a campus experience that is diverse, welcoming, sufficiently equipped and very palatable for today's student. The academic expectations are matched with opportunities of faculty support that are non-biased and more than fair. From day one, I felt like I belonged to the Bulldog family.
I really like Wingate, the campus is beautiful and the professors are great. The food is average and the housing is mostly ok but where I live sucks. There should really be no bad housing with the amount of money this school receives. Other than that I like it.
