Grove City College in Grove City

Along with being a great school to practice your Faith in, the music department is very modern, and professional looking, full of life, and pride. If you want to be a music major, I encourage you to take a look at this music department!

Class of 2005, B.S. in Business Management with a second Major in Political Science and a Concentration in Pre-Law. I graduated from GCC in 2005 and then attended law school on an academic scholarship from which I graduated in 2008. I’m a licensed Attorney in Ohio (inactive) and the District of Columbia. I made very good friends at GCC, some of which I'm still in contact with today.The Campus is beautiful though the weather was miserable. The food was painful, usually going in and often going out. The academics, by any measure, were excessive. The faculty were generally available during their office hours. It’s important to note that the GCC seemed to value Christian religious identity more highly than subject matter expertise, experience, and/or industry connections in the hiring of its full-time faculty. The adjunct faculty members were decidedly more qualified and enjoyable.You’ll likely receive higher marks at other institutions. I would visit the Mail Hall for the release of the Fall Semester Midterm Grades to watch the freshmen open their grades and literally cry. Many students effectively lose their ability to transfer to decent schools because freshman grades are horrid. Indeed, I believe GCC would hemorrhage students if they had decent grades at the end of their freshman year. GCC is a conservative place; most public high school students cannot comprehend just how conservative. Read the Crimson in its entirety. Social life was non-existent (ice-cream socials do not qualify, ever). Intercollegiate athletics were, and probably still are, a joke. Intramural athletic opportunities were abundant.Name recognition outside of the Pittsburgh area is poor at best (sample areas include DC, MD, SC, CO, HI, NY and OH). I’ve ceased mentioning the school's name in conversation because people always ask if it’s a community college. GCC doesn’t “give” you the computer until you graduate. Computers are cheap; it’s a cheap gimmick and means by which GCC exerts control over the students.Prior to my arrival on Campus I had never experienced open disdain for being Catholic. My Sister, Class of 99, also experienced anti-Catholic bias on Campus. If you’re Catholic I would probably avoid this place as there’s apparently still anger lingering from the Reformation.If you are LGBT don’t go here. Don’t even apply. I’m an Ally and you absolutely do not need to put yourself through the hell that you will face on this Campus. The campus was “Authentically Christian” in that hypocrisy, hate, and fear permeated it like the fetid stench of a hog pond.Would I attend GCC again? Absolutely not. (I didn’t transfer because doing so would have added at least one year to my education. I checked with multiple schools. In hindsight, and for current students, transferring would have been time and money well invested). GCC is the only college that I will not financially assist my children to attend. This Institution is highly abnormal and you can likely do better! I hope this information helps you with your decisions.Good luck with your endeavors!Peter J. Franklin Esq.ILLEGITIMI NON CARBORUNDUM

I worked at Grove City for over six years. I have never worked at a more thoughtful, intentional, and Christ-centered institution. Faculty, students, and staff are devoted to its students and mission. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place to give their passion and purpose.

Best college ever.

Not great for engineering, one of the toughest schools for it. Not in a way that it will challenge you, instead in a way that they do not want you to succeed. This is not an engineering school. This is as it says a Christian Liberal Arts College, and they have every right to be so. Still, do not go here, unless you are going to become a pastor.You will not get a college experience here. Which you can get anywhere else. If you are considering this place, go somewhere else and subject yourself to these rules that they have, because then you can change your mind. Here, you cannot, you must transfer and then you are not under the rules of the college.This college is redundant. Respectfully, the people can really come together and be compassionate and caring. However, there is a very strong culture of conforming to your peers’ point of view when it is convenient for the school. So if you have different views or wish to make your own opinion this may not be the right school for you. Would not recommend.
