Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Get involved with whatever interests you. Many students sign up for everything, and then slowly get involved in a couple that really speak to them. The few who don't sign up for any clubs or activities can feel left out quickly, because everyone else is busy with new friends and activities. Everyone is new, so feel comfortable to join anything that sparks your interest. Go to the Learning Center in the library whenever you need help. They are there and free to help you, so take advantage of this great system.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The teachers have high expectations, but still at a reasonable level of success. The nursing program is difficult, but if a student succeeds, they are very intelligent in their field. The challenging classes have tutoring sessions available frequently through the week.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Dorm life is a blast. Most of the rooms are a great size, and sharing a bathroom is easy and simple, and close, much better than busy community bathrooms. The Community Advisors plan events during the week and on weekend nights, including food, fun, and games. The dorms have study rooms nearby that are convenient for study and escaping the room for a breather. Kitchens are easily accessible in the dorms, which is great to make snacks or a quick meal for yourself.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Food is about average, there is always pizza, salad, sandwiches, ice cream and other treats available. The stir fry line always has good food, and the hot meals are average. Breakfast has lots of choices with eggs, bacon, bagels, and cereal.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Front Campus is wide and spacious, always full of Frisbees and people walking their dogs. Evenings can be spent downtown visiting restaurants. There is a park nearby and a river. This is a great place to go tubing, or walk on trails, or play games at parks. The Wellness Center has a rock climbing wall, pool, and basketball courts where many games can be played. Intramural sports are popular opportunities to have fun, whether you are playing or cheering on friends. Thursday nights have Improve shows which are run by GC students and are hilarious every week.
