| Academic Facilities | 10 | Very advanced, using social media and other online resources. |

| Would Recommend? | yes | Because I went to school I was prepared for the field and got a job within 1 week of leaving school. After getting a job I found I was in need of no extra training. |
| Program Reputation | They have a good reputation. A lot of people have gone to the school and talk about it. | |
| Program Quality | 10 | I learned what I needed to know to pass my state certification test, so they are, in my book, a good school. |
| Instruction | 10 | She was nice and very knowledgeable. |
| How Difficult | 1 | Taking classes in biology during college made this program a breeze for me. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | Mix of both hands on and book learning. There was 40 hours of hands on work in a first rate clinic. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | Not very flexible. Classes are 3 times a week and during only 1 time of day. | |
| Academic Facilities | It was a top notch for classroom setting. Everything you needed to learn was on hand. | |
| Social Life | 10 | I had a very good social experience at that school. Everyone wanted to help everyone else pass. |
| Placement Services | 1 | They have one board for jobs. It's not very big and its not filled with many jobs. |
| Alumni Network | 1 | It's not a very large school. |

| Would Recommend? | no | I would not have chosen my university if I had been financially able to attend elsewhere. The school does not offer students a well-rounded college experience. |
| Program Reputation | 9 | The English program at North Greenville University has an excellent reputation. It is considered the second most difficult major at the university. |
| Program Quality | 10 | My university provides excellent instruction in the English language. The professors are very dedicated and have high academic standards. |
| Instruction | 10 | All facets of professional life were discussed with students. The curriculum was very demanding and I learned a great deal. |
| How Difficult | 7 | The curriculum was more difficult than average, because students were required to attend every class session. However, the grading was not as difficult as it might have been. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | The school offered almost no hands-on learning experiences for English majors. If a student was unable to learn through books, then the student failed. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 3 | Some summer classes were offered, but most classes were during traditional daytime hours. Also, certain classes were only available every two or four years. |
| Academic Facilities | 2 | No study tools are offered by the school to students in the English program. The one library is ill-equipped and understaffed. |
| Social Life | 2 | Athletic events were not enjoyable. The university-sponsored events were poorly assembled and not fun. |
| Placement Services | 3 | Career Services is underdeveloped and does not serve students well. One Career Services Counselor cannot provide adequate placement service for 2800 students. |
| Alumni Network | 1 | The alumni network is virtually nonexistent, except for the yearly requests for financial donations. No support is offered beyond graduation. |
