Read Hundreds of Quotes from Grove City College Students

Read samples from the Grove City College guide below:

Academics

“My profs have all been very approachable and are talented at what they do. The majority of my classes have been interesting and challenging. I feel like they have been worthwhile and will be helpful for me in the future.”

Diversity

“About as diverse as white rice.”

Guys & Girls

“Varsity sports aren’t particularly important for the most part at Grove City. We have them, of course, and the games are usually decently attended. IM sports are pretty big. It’s very easy to form teams and compete in basically any of the IM sports.”

There are a few hotties around, and the social butterflies often gravitate towards the sorority scene, but a large contingency of girls are highly body-conscious. Factors like type-A personality, unpalatable cafeteria entrées, and FitWell diet-analysis keep many girls slim and—a few too many—anorexic. Many Grover girls sit and wait for guys to initiate...

Athletics

Grove City College offers 20 varsity sports at the NCAA Division III level. The college is a member of the President’s Athletic Conference, which includes other schools like Washington and Jefferson, Westminster, and Thiel. Athletes are encouraged to put their academics before their athletics. The Wolverine Arena is never filled to its 1,600-person capacity. Student-athletes frequently feel under supported and, in some cases, dislike the interference of Grove City College’s academic rigor. However, a band...
