Thiel College has a small, beautiful campus with about 1,000 students (and small class sizes). The professors are really friendly and helpful. There are many extracurricular activities and fun events hosted on this campus.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
When looking for things to get involved in, look at clubs for people in your major. This will help you get to know people who have the same interests as you. Also, join as much as you can, but don't get over-involved. leave time for study and a social life. Talk to your professors. They are willing to help you no matter what. Their number one priority is to help you succeed.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Their is a high standard for academics on this campus. Teachers as well as coaches an other students will push you to be the best you can be. They will help make sure you succeed in all your classes. There are many different study groups and private tutors who are available for you free of cost. The professors are always willing to meet with you as well.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
The dorms are fairly nice. There are 3 freshman dorms where all the freshmen stay so that they can get to know each other. Then there are several different options for upperclassmen. The RA's in the dorms are really nice and are willing to help you with anything. The dorms are clean to our awesome, friendly cleaning staff who work hard to make sure you are happy. The bathrooms in the freshman dorms are community bathrooms for the floor. There is a laundry room in the basement of every building as well as a full kitchen. There is also a game room (with a pool table and stuff) in every dorm building and there is a lobby with a TV in every building.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The food is not five star restaurant meals. However, it is pretty good. It is better than most high school cafeterias, and better than many of the other college campuses I visited while in search for a school. I enjoy the food prepared by the nice cooks in the kitchen. They are really friendly and are willing to make foods that are specific for dietary needs. There is a kitchen in every dorm, so if you really don't like the food, you can make some yourself in the kitchen in the basement.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There are many clubs for student to join on campus and they are all really fun. There are also many free activities for all students. All sports activities are free to attend for students. There is a movie that shows in one of the nice lecture halls 2 times a week (they are movies often not released on DVD yet, or recently released). There are usually random things that the activities club sets up like bounce houses, slip-n-slides, mechanical bulls, etc. that will just appear around campus sometimes. There is a concert every spring and many bus trips throughout the year that are both free. The concerts usually are famous singers (like maklemore and flo rider). The bus trips are to places like Chicago, Boston, New York, Cedar Point, White Water rafting, Snow Tubing, etc.There is also a free shuttle service that will take you anywhere you want in Greenville (everyday), or anywhere in Hermatige, Sharon, Grove City etc. on weekends. It will also make monthly trips to places like Pittsburgh and Cleveland.

There are so many clubs and sports to get involved in here. There is a club for almost anything you can imagine. And if there is a club you ant to be in, and we don't have it. The college will give you money to start one.

There are 4 sororities and 4 fraternities on campus. They are extremely nice, totally against hazing, and do a lot with community service and their philanthropy. There are many students involved in Greek life, however, they are friends with everyone else on campus. People from every Greek organization are friends with people from the others. They are not cliquey, and they are not the stereotypical party Greek groups.
