Just the other day my friend and I decided to take a walk to enjoy the beautiful weather outside. Our favorite loop to walk is technically off campus (it’s about a mile behind campus). We were walking and talking when we noticed that a Grove City Campus Safety car had just passed us. “I didn’t […]

Christian College – Just a Bubble?
“If you could live in any fictional land – Narnia, The Shire, etc. – where would you want to live?” A good friend asked me this question on my first night as a student at Grove City College. Though I’m sure he intended it only as a fun way to break the ice, it’s a […]
Forming Heart and Character: Classes are About More than Knowledge
After attending a public high school, I knew there was an aspect of education I was missing. This aspect was something I didn’t find until I sat in on a class while visiting Grove City College.

If You Take a Tour of Grove City…
Here it is. The day of the tour. You and your family have probably come from far away, or maybe not too far, but far enough to make it an event. Your stomach is a little tight, you’re a little nervous. Maybe you’re like me and couldn’t eat a lot this morning. It’s such an […]
No Problem Too Small – A Peek at the Grove City Counseling Center
Growing up I have a very vivid memory of going to the doctor every year to get a physical for school. I never thought twice about going because it was so normal to go to the doctors. Rarely do people question or minimize our needs regarding physical health but we often push aside our […]
