NGU Skyliner

Long lines, no parking spaces and no room in the cafeteria or chapel all point to one thing—record enrollment.  According to the office of admissions, 682 new students have enrolled at North Greenville University. However, the number is expected to rise to 684.

What has caused all the inconvenience and grumbling? No, it’s not the freshmen. Out of the 682 newly enrolled, 494 are freshmen. On average, NGU enrolls 500 freshmen every year.

Transfer students comprise the rest of the new crowd. A staggering 132 of them registered for the year.

At first glance, one would think that the reaction on campus would be positive. After all, North Greenville is earning a place on the map. However, the positive has been found nowhere. Many are fussing about how parking spaces are taken and how it takes forever to get in and out of chapel.

While everyone may be a little inconvenienced, it is important to remember the good in the situation. More students are involved on campus, more voices raised in worship to God during chapel and most importantly, there are more lives for God to work in and through. God is working mightily on campus, so put aside the complaints and get on board.
