Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The average Grover girl is pleasant and sharp minded. She wears minimal makeup, works out at least a little, avoids dressing flashy, and goes to church. There are a few hotties around, and the social butterflies often gravitate towards the sorority scene, but a large contingency of girls are highly body-conscious. Factors like type-A personality, unpalatable cafeteria entrées, and FitWell diet-analysis keep many girls slim and—a few too many—anorexic. Many Grover girls sit and wait for guys to initiate romantic relationships, and are willing to get their “Mrs.” degree and have kids without using their BAs in a public profession. However, many girls maximize the college experience, create strong resumés, and are confident about their ring-less status on graduation day.

Grover guys get higher marks for physical attractiveness than their female counterparts, but character is such an important factor for many Grove City College students that they may readjust shallow first impressions and crushes after the initial weeks of orientation. Some guys, especially those involved in certain sports teams and some fraternities, use collegiate independence to smoke, drink, sneak girls into their rooms, and generally rebel against college policies. However, a host of Grover guys are not only smart, but physically attractive, athletically capable, spiritually strong, and socially well adjusted. Add talents like opening doors for girls, guitar improv, and enthusiastic worship, then surely the Grover girls will swoon.

Athletic

The girls and guys at Grove City will always be hitting the gym. A great majority of the people will exemplify Christian values which results in a dry and boring campus without much to do. The people are nice but some come off as stuck up.

Akward

Many of the guys and girls at Grove City College are very socially akward. However, it is very easy to find a group of people that you mesh well with. The problem is that many of the students at Grove City have been home schooled their entire life and this is their first experience of what they believe is the "real world." However, Grove City College is still a kind of "bubble" that protects these students from making bad decisions. The college further prevents these students from socially interacting with intervisitation hours. Members of the opposite sex may only be in other dorms on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday and only between certain hours, the latest of which being midnight.

Facts

Social Scene

Social aptitude varies greatly. There is a contingency of nerds who don't practice good hygiene and keep to their rooms. However, a large number of students are academically strong, athletically inclined, and socially apt. Classes, study groups, service organizations, clubs, and worship services offer numerous opportunities for acquaintances and friendships. The campus size and closeness guarantees that Grovers recognize many of their peers, even if they never share a class or a club activity.

Hookups or Relationships?

One-night stands are completely foreign to most Grovers. Students generally appreciate the school's Christian values that designate sex only for marriage. Lobbies are a favorite spot to chat, hold hands, look deeply into a sweethearts eyes, and give that extra-long goodbye hug and kiss. Single students, or even attached students who don't make out in public, are often aggravated by the public displays of affection. Some singles resent the fact that eating a couple of meals with someone might raise the question, "So, how long have you been going out with so-and-so?" A glance down the upperclassman women's residence will reveal a collection of homemade engagement posters. It is not uncommon for Grovers to meet freshman year, date for two years, and get engaged before they graduate. Harbison Chapel is a popular spot, not only to pray about a relationship, but also to tie the knot.

Best Places to Meet Guys/Girls

Orientation Week offers numerous chances for guys and girls to meet. In fact, many upperclassmen look back and can remember who their square dance partner or their Dean's Breakfast "date" was. The administration has traditionally encouraged student relationships—to the point where some students scramble to have a "significant other" by the end of their senior year. Romantically interested or not, guys and girls frequently interact over books or on library study breaks. Campus weekend activities like concerts, dances, movies, or talent shows offer inexpensive dates or group activity options. The small group of hard-core partiers may hook up at off-campus events in Pittsburgh or nearby at Slippery Rock University. Guys frequently flaunt their muscles in pickup football or ultimate Frisbee. Girls might join them, or readjust their tan lines in the MAP Inner Quad. Technically, male visitors are unwelcome during tanning times, but some guys will find a reason to visit their bikini-clad friends. However, Bible studies, local churches, or Inner City Outreach teams are also a common back-drop for the boy-meets-girl phenomenon.

Dress Code

Dress is much more diverse than other aspects at this school. A majority of students dress in a casual, tasteful manner. Several seem unaware or at least unapologetic that they are wearing clothing almost a decade out of style—they do what they want. Another small group tries to sport the latest style—as short and skimpy as possible. Several students roll out of bed into class, and a small contingency perpetually lives in comfy athletic clothes. Jeans are a must-have, but students frequently dress up to give tours, presentations, or just to look professional. Most women bring a semi-formal dress from home for campus dances. Jonathan Passavant, class of 2002, is a model for Ralph Lauren, Abercrombie & Fitch, Guess, Giorgio Armani, and more. He also is the face of Estee Lauder's fragrance "Intuition."
