Great memories and lifelong friendships

Nicole Garzaro • 2025 • Digital Media

GU has given me the opportunity to come from Guatemala to receive a great education while playing the sport I love - which is soccer, and to meet people with whom I’ve made great memories.

Faith abounds here

Desirae Yost • 2022 • Sport Management and Business Management • St. Louis

I chose GU because of the faith background that I saw in all aspects of this campus. At GU, I’ve been able to be involved in so many things on campus.

Opportunities for now and in the future

More than professors here

Tore Hojeberg • 2023 • Business and Marketing • Stockholm, Sweden

Greenville University has given me the gift of friendships from around the world through academics, living with some of the best men I've ever met, and through my brothers on the soccer team.

GU - the perfect fit for me.

Claire Krober • 2023 • Worship Arts and Theology • Avon, Indiana

As soon as I visited campus I knew it was the place for me because of the people I met who were genuinely excited to meet me.
