Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The 150-acre campus is easily conquered by a set of good sneakers. Grovers need approximately five minutes to walk from dorm to class. Students often walk into town for favorites like the Coffee Grove and the Guthrie. Venturing beyond Grove City Township? A bike might work, but keys become a necessity once students explore anything farther away than Wal-Mart.

Borrowing a friend’s car is not uncommon, but failing to pay for gas and getting back to campus later than promised are two great ways to challenge/destroy a close friendship. Since nearly half of the student body lives in Pennsylvania, cars provide the most popular method of getting home. Carpool options travel word-of-mouth, via e-mail, or are posted on a “Ride Board” on the South end of the PLC. Aiming for the other side of the country? Students can get shuttled over to the Pittsburgh airport.

Small Town Equals Not Much Public Transportation

Besides a small airport and bus routes there is not many other ways to get transportation besides carpooling which occurs very often.

"Feet"

Grove City is a small private College, the campus is small and convenient. Our transportation is our feet. It is the best transportation, you have multiple speeds depending on your personal preference and it does not cost a penny, sometimes you slip in the snow. Grove City is extremely "transportation friendly".

Sucks

There are no cabs at all and no buses. If you want to get somewhere you NEED a car.
