Jenna - 07/31/2023

I love it! I transferred here after my freshman year at a public school and am certain I made the right choice in the move. The communities on and off campus are amazing and professors truly care about the students' wellbeing. Faith and Scripture are deeply intertwined with all we do and so is the truth and love of the gospel!

CALEB - 02/14/2020

Geneva is a great school for those looking to obtain a high quality education, while remaining in a small overall class size. Classes range between 15-30 students in most classes, which can make the learning feel more intimate. Professors are available to speak to through scheduling a meeting and are always willing to assist with any questions. Campus is very clean and easy to navigate. There is a lot that Geneva offers in clubs, sports, and arts.

Joie - 01/07/2020

Geneva College is wonderful. The professors are nice and willing to meet you outside of class. The academics are challenging and thought-provoking. The students body is made of friendly people who love to have fun and to learn. Honestly, it feels like home here.

    I would start saving up money. When you make the first tuition payment you learn just how quickly your savings account can be drained. I didn't have a full-time job until after I graduated from college and I really wish that I had started working sooner. Also, I would try to save money in other ways by not going out to eat or going shopping as much. The money I could have saved by doing these things really could make a difference now.
