If you couldn’t tell from my previous post, I love city living. From the abounding culture to crossing the street when that pesky red hand shines at you from across the road (but come on, there’s not even a car coming down the street), there’s something about being in a city that just makes me feel […]

Student Profile: Alicia VanDerhoof on Growing in Community
Alicia VanDerhoof is a junior English major who recently agreed to sit down for an interview. I wanted to get her perspective on Grove City College because she knows this place well and has committed herself to the community, both on and off campus, and is a generally thoughtful person as well. Why Grove City? […]
Questions You Should Definitely Ask on Your Campus Tour
It is great practice for all campus tours to be uniform and follow a certain pattern so you (the prospective student) can learn everything there is to know about Grove City. But if you are anything like I was when visiting schools, you want to hear the things they do not normally talk about on […]
Passing Along Passion: Children’s Theatre
Theatre. There’s nothing quite like it. Particularly musicals. There’s something transcendent about music in and of itself, but when it accompanies a narrative, music allows an audience to be drawn in to the world that is unfolding before them. As an adult there is something about musicals that takes us back to childhood. Even if […]
How I Found Grove City – A Personal Story
Just like every college student, every 18-year-old hates the question: “So, what do you want to do with your life?” Well, I was the same way. As a 17-year-old senior in high school, I really didn’t know what I wanted to do or how I was going to get there once I decided what I […]
Newest Addition to Varsity Sports
The players on Grove City College’s club lacrosse team no longer have to hide in the shadows of its varsity sports, but can now share the limelight with them. Starting in the academic year of 2017-2018, the lacrosse team will move from being a club team to a varsity sport. After patiently waiting for their efforts to […]
Shifting Roles: GCC Theatre as a Means of Change
If growing up outside of New York City didn’t ensure that I’d see a Broadway show as child, having a dad who saw over 500 shows by the age of 18 and who majored in Theatre from Fordham University definitely did. The stage has beckoned me from my earliest years, creating a sense of wonder […]
Food for Thought
While the subject of food might not be the determining factor that high school seniors use when choosing their college, it becomes very important when they realize breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the whole semester will be coming from the school cafeteria. While the food served at college will never compare to the meals prepared […]
“You Have Greek Life on Campus?!”
I have been a tour guide here at Grove City College for almost a year now, and a common question I receive is “You have Greek life on campus?!” This is often paired with either a face of complete horror or exuberant excitement. Yes, we do have Greek life, but it is not exactly what […]
My First March for Life
I woke up at 3:20 a.m. Not my normal wake-up time, I assure you. But I was meeting six other Grovers in the SAC at 3:45 and wanted to give myself enough time to get ready. It’s been 44 years since Roe v. Wade, and so this past Friday, January 27, was the 44th Annual March […]
