Major: Electrical Engineering (This Major's Salary over time)
I was involved in intercollegiate athletics which took up a lot of my time outside of the classroom work. I found lifelong friends from his first year dorm floor and from the fraternity that he joined for the last three years. (GCC has a number of interesting housing combinations—fraternities and housing groups are two, in addition to the apartments for upperclassmen now.) There is an amazing array of intramural sports on campus, and they are not merely for the superathlete.

With the fraternity activities (please erase notions of the usual state university idea of frat life when thinking about GCC!), I also had some great social experiences in Pittsburgh and various places in western PA. Grove City, as one can tell by a visit, is not the party capital of the world.

Here's how I've seen it work: the kid that wants to find trouble will find it; the kid that wants to have clean fun will find it; the kid that wants to be a wallflower will do that. GCC has all three types, but they make it easier to be in category 2 than in 1 and 3. As for myself, I felt, I grew the most as a person in social maturity at GCC, even more than academically.

I think that Grove City is well worth consideration. It has excellent academics (I graduated 4 years ago and was accepted at Stanford and MIT [among others] for graduate study in engineering). The Christian environment is not just propaganda for parents—it is very real. However, the school is not legalistic in its approach to rules, at least not that I have observed. The campus is beautiful and enhances the learning process. The students and the faculty really make it their aim to take care of the facilities. A new apartment complex for upperclassmen has been built, and it is beautiful. The faculty are completely dedicated to undergraduate teaching. Great mentoring throughout. The pre-med program is also excellent I hear.

All of this comes at the price of most in-state public universities.

Interviewing at the school is a very important factor in the admission process at GCC. If you plan a visit, I would encourage you to go for an interview.
