Guilford College is home to very accepting and diverse students - we're very friendly! It's is a small place, everything is close together - affectionately called the Guilford Bubble - and everyone is close; you'll connect with people your first day. The campus is absolutely gorgeous all year round, and is central to a ton of great hangouts for college kids - we even have our own coffee shop called The Greenleaf, which has the best coffee in Greensboro!
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Get out of your dorm room and do stuff, or you'll feel like you don't fit in. Don't be a hermit! Be safe in whatever you do. Make friends with your dorm mates. Visit the rest of the places on campus you don't normally go to (dorm rooms you don't live in, buildings you don't have classes in, etc.) Try the coffee at the Greenleaf and try to pizza at the Quakeria. LEAVE YOUR DOOR OPEN WHEN YOU AREN'T STUDYING! No better way to make new friends that random chats on your hall.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Very challenging and intellectually stimulating environment. Caring teachers and staff.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Typical dorm life. There is suite-style, co-ed, girls and boys only, and apartments. Freshman dorms are very loud and can be messier.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Quakeria and Grill are excellent, but cafeteria is so-so. It's hit or miss.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Hang by the lake! We have a lake on campus!
Lots of neat festivals to attend - Serendipity music festival!
Clubs, parties, etc.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
You pay a lot but it's definitely worth it. Financial aid is readily available if you need it.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Spring - Serendipity music festival. You must go to this!
Call the teachers by their first names, because equality is arguably the most important of our core values.
The Greenleaf!
The lake!
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Hipsters, stand-outs, artsy, creative, jocks, nerds...we have it all!
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Something for EVERYONE!
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
None. It doesn't fit with out core values or our strong Quaker heritage (you don't have to be religious at all to enjoy Guilford, even though Quaker values help our college stand out.)
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
PSafe, our campus public safety, are always visible, riding burgundy golf carts. It is a very safe campus, although the walk across the street to the Tavern, Starbucks, and Harris Teeter get a little creepy after dark.
