Student Reviews and Ratings for Grove City College
Overall Rating:
Great education! Great community!
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™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.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™GCC is great! Great, challenging classes, and a great community.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™Grove City College is the best bang for your buck. The reasonable cost of the outstanding education makes it one of the best deals in the country.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™Good education. Fairly rigorous depending on the major. Obviously, as a small school it won't be well known outside of the local area, so that is something of a disadvantage.You'll definitely have a harder time fitting in if you aren't a conservative Christian, but I've found the faculty especially to be a lot more open minded than many strict Christian schools.Not much to do locally though.
