I like to deliver good news first, so here it is - The campus is gorgeous. Very ivy league feel indeed. Unfortunately, this is what lours many perspective students into the trap that is Grove City College.

I was very excited to start attending this school. I knew a couple friends who were attending in my year as well and thought everything would be fine and dandy. I was dead wrong.

First off, I entered my college experiences expecting to begin my first true embark on adulthood. Yeah, nope. Grove City College is a dystopia full of mostly smart, yet oblivious people. They are all brainwashed to think whoever they talk to will share their same super conservative religious viewpoint, and most of the time they will be. That is, until their 4 years at the college is up. My point is, Grove City College does not offer it's students a firm grasp on adult hood or reality in general.

If you take anything away from this review, know this. The school and it's staff DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOU. You are literally just a number in their eyes. I have a shit roommate who steals/breaks my belongings. I've reported this the the school on several occasions and was literally told I should pray about it, and that as Christians we need to learn to get along. Yeah, maybe if it was up to me we would, fucks sake.

I was a Christian before attending this school, I consider myself agnostic now. The amount of coursework tied to Christianity would be nauseating to a priest let alone a math or business major. I'd rather spend and hour a day falling down a carpeted mechanical staircase then take Civilizations again.

The food is nothing to boast about. The grab-and-go options at the SAC include breaded chicken tenders as the main entree 95% of the time, no lie. You can't use any meal plan past 6:30 which is complete horseshit. The school doesn't make it easy to eat either as the cafeterias fill fast and seating is impossible to find during dining hours.

Their tag line is

Where FAITH and FREEDOM matter

yet they hold the right to suspend you for having premarital sex ON and OFF campus(seriously, wtf) The only time a guy or gal is allowed to visit someone of the opposite sex in a dorm room are the inter-visitation hours on Wednesday from 7-11 and the weekend which offers a noon till midnight deal. Regardless, still rather excessive for a bunch of adults, right? During intervis a shoe must be kept in the door at all times. You can be sure everyone and their fucking grandmother will take this opportunity to stop in and say hi.

I've been walked in on in the shower by tours twice now. I've also heard of it happening with other students. This really just should't be something that needs talked about.

Campus safety isn't nearly as bad as everyone else makes them out to be. It's the RA's and goody two shoe home scholars(which make up a ridiculous amount of the population, FYI) that'll report you for the smallest thing. I was literally yelled at for having my shirt off in the hall during intervis hours because I was headed to the shower. Yet, if you go outside and talk to girls without a shirt on, it's fine.

Holding an off campus job while enrolled here is literally impossible with the massive "busywork" workload. So don't plan on having one.

In other words, I'm out of here ASAP.

This school has honestly ruined my faith, sunk me into a depression, and will now probably set me back a year due to credits that will not transfer. Honestly, it's just not a healthy option anymore. I need to be my own person, not a robot whose required to attend chapel so I can schedule classes at the end of the semester.

Do yourself a favor and don't bother

I'm just going to say that you should never had attended Grove City College in the first place.

I considered myself a Christian before

Well you weren't. If you were you wouldn't have had a problem with the pre-marital sex rules.
As for the

The staff don't care about you

comment, if you made ANY sort of effort into talking to the faculty you would know that's not true. My calculus professor worked with me to develop a note-taking system that worked for me. My programming professor paid me after I volunteered to help him with an event. My Fitness and Wellness professor has been giving me 1 on 1 fencing lessons. But if you show up for class and leave and never say a word to them until it's a week before finals, then yeah they're not going to be very friendly with you and it'll be entirely your fault.

You should not have been surprised by anything that occurred. What did you think you were getting yourself into when you went to a school so devoutly Christian that they require you to attend chapel and take multiple courses on the Bible (something they are very upfront about)? (Though I totally agree with you about the food)
