Grove City College

Report Card

Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Freshmen might be a little skeptical about the “Grove City family” lingo that they hear during orientation and opening convocation. However, by graduation, many undergrads admit that Grove City College is a second family. Like almost any real family, Grove City College has its unpopular rules, its rebels, its squabbles, and its quirks. But also like a real family, there’s a bond—despite the blemishes. Not everyone is in love with their college family, but Grovers have no excuse to feel like just one of the crowd.

Some students complain their way through four years of killer academics, narrow-mindedness, and local boredom, but by the time most of them actually finish, they have enjoyed Grove City College, despite their gripes. In contrast, many students rave about the school right from the start. They thrive on the academic challenges, accept Christian values, and change the local atmosphere with their passionate desire to serve God and others. The popularity of activities like Orientation Board, Homecoming Committee, and tour guiding are sure signs that students love their school. Grovers, the mainstream and rebel alike, make life-changing connections here.
They become the happily-married, successful alumni who bring their kids to Homecoming for an extended family vacation or reunion.

Amazing

Grove City is awesome. The campus community is so friendly and you can easily get involved with several activities on campus. I got involved in Greek life which is so unique from other schools, because it is so christ centered. No one is the same. Whatever your niche, whether stonebridge concerts or warriors, there is always something for everyone.

Hard to Get, but Not Really Needed

Since the school does not accept federal aid, they hardly give out any financial aid because their theory is to keep the initial cost of college low. So even though most students do not recieve a lot of financial aid, they only pay $21,500 for tuition/room and board compared to many private schools which would have costs up into $50,000.

You Have to Live in It Whether You Like It or Not

Since living in on campus housing is required for all 4 years, you either love it or hate it. The freshman women's dorm was just renovated 2 years ago and has great facilities and large rooms. However, as you get older, rooms seem to downgrade unless you can get a suite. The sorority/fraternity halls (and some freshman halls) are loud and fun, but besides that most halls are pretty quiet.
