| Quite Bright | Gordon College is what it claims to be. A Christian, private, university. All of the regulations are either normal regulations at any college for safety etc, or biblically virtuous. This includes a dry campus, regulated websites (excluding pornographic corruption), rules about drugs and sex, as well as visitation. These are all normal for many colleges, and should expected from any Christian institution. Also, every private school is full of those rich snooty students. That is the point were most of them find direction and straighten out.As a Christian one should not judge them and realize this is one of there own flaws, we each have many. Remember that the Lord loves them the same as all other believers. Gordon should be viewed as a school specifically for Christian students, learning how faith is connected to their major, which is only as Christ has called it to be. Going to Gordon one should be joyful about daily chapel requirements. It is a chance to worship the Lord, learn, and fellowship with peers. Going so often can draw one much closer to the Lord, and allow serious spiritual growth. Those who disagree with the way the student led event is held ought to get involved and pray for change, instead of complain. The Lord calls us each to accountability, which is important whether or not you are a college student, so why would Gordon, a school based on biblical instruction not take that into account? True, someone seeking the night life of parties, fighting, and reckless drinking should not go to Gordon. Most students are too busy learning and enriching there lives to waste their time and intelligence. As with any superior ivy league level school one should expect a serious amount of work, and expectation. And lastly, as far as Christian schools go Gordon is quite liberal. Most Christian schools do not allow debate about theories and teaching. Most have far more regulations including quite restrictive dress codes; and the fact that it is non denominational says enough. Many other schools teach you a specific following, that is only subject to that founders specific interpretation. If this sounds similar to yourself pray about it, and see what the Lord has in store. | Campus Aesthetics: A+, Social Life: C |  | | |

I have been here one year, and I hate this school. People are phony little tattle tales who've been home schooled and sheltered, so they believe every stupid thing they are told about religion and beyond. They are told to report anything against the rules.
The student body consists of rich white kids who are sickening and shallow. The biggest problems they've had are trying to figure out if they should ask their mommies for $1000 for xmas or $2000.
The ex Jewish kids are the most sickening of all. In general, the students here think they are so holy and perfect that they are better than anyone else. Real holy, right! Don't go to this school. The brainwashing in classes and through the required chapel attendance almost every day are sure to make any normal, THINKING person sick. I can't wait to transfer at the end of the year! | Perceived Campus Safety: A-, Education Quality: F |  | | |

As a senior getting close to graduation, i'm feeling very much bittersweet about graduating in 18 days. although i dont think i could or my parents' bank account could afford to stay another year here, i'm sad to see my time at gordon college almost up. its been my home away from home for four great years, and i've truly been blessed with friends, living situations and the faculty and staff that work here.
the reason that many people as you will see will write that the social life isnt that great is because its what you make it. if you want to party hard all night in the clubs, this isnt your place with the rules of the campus. but if you want to do fun activities, coordinate group events, or just hang out, go into boston that it is the place for you. you can be just fine staying on campus and making your own fun or going out. it's what you decide to do. those with sour attitudes about gordon don't take the time to make their years here great ones. i am proud to say i go to gordon college, a very well known christian liberal arts school that has helped shape the person i am today. and i will be proud when i walk across to get my diploma in may to say that i graduated from gordon college. i hope you find the school for you! | Individual Value: A+, Social Life: B |  | | |
