Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Guilford is a wonderful place to be if you are looking for a small liberal arts college experience. Guilford does not attract the types of people who go to standard, huge state schools with flourishing Greek scenes and near-professional football programs. In many different respects, students adore their school, the atmosphere, and their peers. Guilford allows (and expects) you to be independent academically, but you must be willing to work to get the most out of your education here. Although it is a good bit harder to “slip through the cracks” at Guilford, it is certainly possible to fail out. The majority of students feel sufficiently and appropriately challenged academically, although some say it all really depends on your department. Others don’t bother to do the work, or take the easiest classes possible and end up taking extra years to graduate, then complain about it all the while. Those who are happy tend to make the most out of their time on campus. Get involved in the Guilford community, have fun, and try to do most of your work.

Guilford students are good at voicing their opinions. Sometimes this is productive, while other concerns and suggestions are disregarded by the college altogether. Pay attention to changes that happen, and give someone important your opinion as a student. Guilford’s traditional ideals are geared toward community involvement and in major decisions that affect all that are connected to the college. Despite any gripes that students have with Guilford, most think that the other aspects weigh out enough that they stay and love it. Guilford is a place to meet interesting people and make devoted friends for life. Nearly all that have spent time at Guilford depart with a distinct fondness for some part of the experience. Students tend to leave the college fulfilled, mentally and physically exhausted, and full of pride for their alma mater and degree.

Nightlife at Guilford College

Nightlife

On campus parties make you want to shoot yourself in the mouth they are so bad. Unless you live in an apartment and are throwing the party with your friends do not expect to have fun. They are so so small and cramped with either no music or dubstep. Off campus parties are generally better but even those are questionable. And having a car is necessary. A local club sometimes will have pretty good concerts but other than that it is not worth it to hit up.

Facilities Review

The food options are fine, nothing special but do the job. Not much to rave or complain about, but the omelets are dope. The library is great, it's open late expect the price of printing is too much. The gym is nice, pretty small but there is a lot of equipment. Guilford owns a lot of land so there are acres of woods to explore which is a nice aspect. The campus has a collegiate, yet modest feel to it.
