Grove City College Students
Tell It Like It Is
The "package" that Grove City College offers is much more life-changing than a three-point promo, especially if you spend four of your most meaningful years on the Grove City College campus.

What are these three points, you might ask. Any GCC tour or pamphlet will tell you that. What is life really like on campus? That's where the College Prowler guidebook to GCC comes in.

Did you know?
* You better get ready to get wet if you propose. Creeking is a traditional activity that involves throwing a newly engaged guy into Wolf Creek's muddy depths.
* You should write at least one article for the school paper.
* You should never walk on the quad because urban legend has it that a sniper lives in the science building and shoots at any rebellious quad-walkers.
* Avoid soups that look, smell, and are titled in a suspiciously similar way to yesterday's casserole.
* GC ranks just below its Ivy League peers in academic challenges, and just above its state school peers in tuition costs.
* Doors to rooms where visitors are present must remain partially open at least the width of a shoe (four inches).
Some students complain their way through four years of killer academics, narrow-mindedness, and local boredom, but by the time most of them actually finish, they have enjoyed Grove City College, despite their gripes.
