Great Lakes Christian College is the place to go if you want to further your faith and receive an excellent education. I have been attending for three semesters and do not feel as if any other school compares to the professionalism and courtesy that the professors and students exhibit. This school is the place to be if you want to grow and challenge yourself spiritually and educationally.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Show up to class on time and make sure you have the apporpriate items. Some professors have specific course note books that require blanks to be filled in as they give their lecture.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The classes can be challenging, but the professors are on top of that. Each professor has an open door policy and office hours posted so they can be there when they are needed. They're not just your professors, they're your mentors as well. They care enough to go out of their way and lend you the materials you need and take the time to explain them to you (in and out of class) so you can understand what they're teaching.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Dorm life can be a little hectic at times, but it's something you'll get used too. You'll learn after your first few weeks that college students don't sleep like normal people. We tend to be up all hours through the night and then crash when our workload is done.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The food here is pretty good, breakfast is the meal you don't want to miss.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Lansing is a pretty good sized town with a lot of options. You have bowling, lazer tag, movies, restaurants, ext. Michigan State is one of the places where you can find a list of free concerts and activities to partake in on a weekly basis (conveniently located within 10-20 mins of the school)
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
We have all the men participate in No shave November and then have a facial hair themed dance after the month is over.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
There are tons of restaurants and coffee shops located around campus for you to go out with small groups or individuals and get to know one another. There are also thousands of other activities for those feeling a little adventurous. For example: group of students here normally free climbs rock walls in one of the surrounding parks.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Every RA has a small group with their section that meets on a weekly basis. They are there to encourage and support one another. They have a highland games challenge against other floors and the winner gets a sword painted with their colors and their flag (an animal that represents their floor) put on display for all to see in the main building.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
No fraternities or sororities here
