Grove City Laptops
Grove City College provides all of their students with a laptop and a printer (which you get to keep if you graduate from there!) The computers are really nice but if your computer ever has a problem, the technology learning center (TLC) will gladly assist you in fixing it! At the TLC, you can also print for free so you don't waste your paper and ink. The TLC only gets crowded early in the morning when people are rushing to print things out before class. As for the WIFI, its a little inconsistent depending on what building you're in.

Greek Unity Is Abundant
There are currently 8 sororities and 8 fraternities on campus. Greek life is what you make of it. Being in a fraternity or sorority at Grove City doesn't consume your life and are much less expensive than other colleges. Even if you don't pledge, rushing is great way to meet people!

Grove City Is a Great Place!
I really like Grove City! It's extremely easy to make friends here and although it's super cliche, the professors actually care about you. Grove City College isn't a place that prides itself on being the biggest party school, if anything it's a place where the people are real, genuine and have the ability to have fun without alcohol. Even though I have had a great experience at Grove City, I know it's not the case for everyone but everyone who hates on the Grove never gave it a fair chance so try not to be swayed by their negative opinions.

Living on Campus Is Required
Grove City requires that you live on campus all 4 years which is kind of annoying. However, the dorms are really nice and the entire campus is well-maintained.

Hard to Find
Grove City's "night life" isn't highly publicized since it is a christian college and underage drinking is typically frowned upon. However, if you look in the right places, you can find people who do party. Often times, people party at the neighboring college, Slippery Rock University.

Can Be Slightly Difficult
Although the school itself will accept many different scholarships, it is hard to find scholarships to apply for because the school does not accept anything federally funded (which most scholarships are). The school is very affordable to begin with but also offers some financial aid. You don't have to go broke to pay to go here.

You Have to Get Creative
There isn't much to do in the town of Grove City, PA so you have to invent your own fun. The Grove City Outlets are a short drive and many people go there to shop. The school also holds plenty of events to keep the students preoccupied.

Safest Place in the World
You can "claim" a spot in any building on campus and leave it there without having to worry that someone will take your belongings. There is never a need to lock the door, everyone is very trusting.

Most People Stay Away from It
Very few people at Grove City dabble in drugs or alcohol but it's not unheard of. Since it is a Christian college, most people will persuade you not to become involved in them. The school takes the matter very seriously and will suspend you if you're caught.
