They are a good school for all kind of academics but not so much in the fine arts department of the school. Grand Canyon is really good on safety and has a multitude of public safety officers always patrolling the campus. The environment itself is warm and always very inviting.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
I would apply as soon as you know that you want to come to school here to secure your scholarship before they go down. Also, make sure to take a tour before coming here and making sure that this school is the right fit for you. This is a close -knit school so make sure that is the atmosphere you want at a university.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The academic rigor is something that varies by major and the teacher itself. Grand Canyon is a school that pushes you to achieve good grades so they do want to help you pass your classes. Also, they do have a website where all students have their classes and classwork shown. This helps to keep the students focused so that they know what they have to do. It keeps students accountable and makes sure the academic rigor is not too strenuous.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Every dorm has at least one residence director to watch over every student in the whole building. In every individual hall there is a resident assistant and a life leader to help and guide students throughout the school year. The RA and LL are students that attend GCU as well so they know the struggles that the student might be experiencing. In the dorms, they have dorm wide events that occur at least once a semester and hall events once a semester as well. This brings all the students together as either a hall or a dorm to help get the student to know the people they are living with.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Grand Canyon currently has 7 spots on campus where you can grab something to eat by using lopes cash that you purchase at the beginning of every school year. This summer they are adding at least 3 more food places to campus for the next semester. The food places on campus do get a little boring after a while but luckily they have a little market where you can buy just regular sandwiches, salads, or stuff to make your own food.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
On campus, there are several things to do for fun. There is a place on campus called Thunderground where you can participate in bowling, karaoke, ping pong, and pool. There are currently three pools on campus and a park just beside campus.Grand Canyon does host campus wide events or parties for sporting events or just before holidays and exams.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
I believe that Grand Canyon does give the student a lot of amenities based on how much we pay to go to school here. There is a cable jack in every room and wifi all across campus. In every room, there is a bathroom for every bedroom and a living room between two bedrooms. The campus is aesthetically pleasing and is very close-knit.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
At Grand Canyon, there is one huge party that happens the week before basketball season officially starts. It is called Midnight Madness and is a massive party that lasts a couple hours to get the student body hyped for basketball season.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
GCU employs a ton of public safety officers that are constantly patrolling campus. They are always there to call if you lose something or will escort you somewhere if you don't feel safe on campus.
