Grove City College

Pros: A superior education with reasonable tuition; small class sizes
Cons: Childish rules; difficulty of courses and resulting GPA may hurt rather than help

The Pros and Cons of Grove City College: sit back, get something to drink, get comfortable and get ready to read: this review is going to be a LONG one...

Grove City College (GCC) is nestled in the small town of Grove City (about 8,000...

Pros: Great academic program
Cons: Religious school

This is an editorial of my overall experiences at Grove City. There are so many epinions stating you have to be a devout Christian to make it at this school and I'd like to share my experiences to help balance the views a little.

Good ole...

Pros: Great education
Cons: bad place for a non-Christian

I chose to write another opinion on GCC to tell the prospective students out there about the number of ridiculous rules and the way some people are treated at this school. If you want a review of GCC and its academics, please check out my other opinion...

Pros: Top notch education
Cons: Everything else

No offense to anyone who goes or went to this school and loved it, but this school has got it all wrong. One big thing you hear in high school is that college will prepare you for the real world. Not Grove City College. The rules there are ridiculous,...

Pros: Safe, quiet, clean dorms
Cons: Lots to list here

One thing to think about if you're going to Grove City College: Do I want to live in the dorms the whole time I'm here. If you don't want to live in dorms for 4 years then go somewhere else. You are not permitted off campus housing unless you are the...

Pros: Not a single thing
Cons: Every single thing

I shouldn't have to write anything more. Blahhh is enough when describing GCC's cafeterias. I know that people at any college will tell you that the food they have to eat is the worst food there is. I'm telling you they have never dealt with the...

Pros: inexpensive tuition, Christian values, relaxed and personal atmosphere, small class sizes
Cons: too strict for some people -- too many rules, Saturday morning classes

What can I say about Grove City College? Some of the best years of my life were spent on that campus. To be honest, I chose GCC for several reasons. Number one, it was only about 30 minutes from my hometown. I found that to be a big selling point....

Pros: Strong Curriculum and Supportive Professors
Cons: Not All Education Fields are Offered

If you are looking into education as a major - look no further. Grove City has one of the top teacher education programs in the country. I was an elementary education major who also earned certification in early childhood education. The program is not...

Pros: Friendly, Inexpensive, and a Great Place to Learn
Cons: none

Grove City is a wonderful place to learn and make lasting friendships. My husband and I both graduated from there. In fact we were the typical "grovers" - we met, dated, and even got married in the beautiful chapel a few months after we...

Pros: Great Academics in a Safe, Moral, Friendly Environment.
Cons: Bucolic Surroundings and not much racial diversity.

I did not enter college early because of an accident I encountered that effectively lost me two years. However, I worked hard in high school and obtain a very high GPA and good SAT and ACT scores. Hence, I was close to 20 when I graduated from High ...

Pros: Inexpensive, beautiful campus
Cons: Too much religion, not enough substance

Grove City College today is like a Sunday School for adults. Having mostly ignored the issues and progress of the late Twentieth Century, Grove City's administration has decided to re-create the Victorian Age at the expense of students and alumni.

Pros: Great
Cons: Don't go here if you want a party school

My four years at Grove City were some of the best of my life, although the school is not for everyone. Grove City has high academic and personal expectations for its students. Although it is not nearly as strict as most Christian schools, rules against...

Pros: Small college feel - great bargain
Cons: Rules to follow which are spelled out to all!

My four years at Grove City College were some of the best years of my life not only personally but also academically. The school is not for every student. There are rules to be followed and consequences for breaking those rules. Students are expected...

Pros: Good fun
Cons: Some "politics" that go on within the band

I spent four years in GCC's marching band, four in its stage band, and three in its concert band. The band is a great way to meet people, whether or not you are a music major. The band, like most bands, strives for excellence, although participants do...

Pros: Great Campus Culture, Great Professors, Rigorous Academics, safe Environment
Cons: You must be a good fit for their campus culture

Firstly, This school isn't for everyone. If you're the type who are : LIBERAL, PREFER CAROUSING AND PARTYING TO DOING HARD WORK, ARE INTO A SCHOOL AT LOOKS THE OTHER WAY AT SEX, DRUGS and ALCOHOL, Don't come to Grove City. There are NO co-ed dorms ...
