lauren - 09/08/2020

So far, I like the campus. I am a freshman this year and I am grateful to be able to live on campus during the pandemic even though there are changes in place due to COVID. I have some classes that are in person and others that are virtual. I wish there were more things to do around campus but I know that the activities are reduced due to the pandemic. I hope that as things improve with the pandemic, there will be more things to do so I can meet more people.

Christopher - 06/07/2019

Greensboro college is an extremely special place where education comes first and the sports scene is huge, as the whelming majority of the student body is involved in 1 or more sports. I enjoy going to Greensboro college and hope that anyone who has the chance takes it and enjoys it as much as i am.

Samantha - 07/21/2018

I believe that overall Greensboro College is a beautiful and ambitious school. For the $44k, I wish we had better housing and food but I believe the president is taking active steps to make the school better. The new open forums we have are giving students a voice and they are actively trying to implement what we have brought to their attention.

Leondra - 06/29/2018

Location is great. It’s small rural community. Limited activities for students. Limited campus life. Small classes. Dorms are very small and not updated . Advisors are accessible. Financial aid department is great! Very helpful in getting information to students .

  12. Is the stereotype of students at your school accurate?

    Its partly true, depending on what major you are into. The school is, however, WAYY overpriced for the education. The teachers are nice, but the administration is TERRIBLE, and they will steal your money. GC has a habit of raising the price of things without notifying the students, and then when the students or parents have questions about it, the admin ignore you. Its a pretty pitiful excuse for a working college, and had I known how poorly this school would be run, I would have most definitely chosen another institution.

  13. What is the stereotype of students at your school?

    Most of them are a bunch of rich students who are to dumb to get into a a good college, so they use mommy and daddy's money to basically pay for their degree.

  14. What is your overall opinion of this school?

    The best thing about GC is absolutely nothing. The town is kinda fun if your a hippie. If I could change some things about the college, I would fire all of the staff that work in the administration building. They are morally corrupt, and will steal your money, lie about it, and not even feel bad for doing it. Then they will spend a whole bunch of your stolen money in covering their asses. You are not allowed to live off campus starting next year, which sucks because those dorms are really old and really awful, but the food is even worse. There is no school pride because the administration has done an amazing job of beating us down finically, and then using the money for events no students participate in. The sports there are even more embarrassing, even the arts programs are getting pretty pathetic. No one at this school is on the students side... its pretty much like really expensive public high school. The system sucks, and overall, the students are pretty unhappy at GC and most of them transfer after their first year or two.

  15. What's the most frustrating thing about your school?
