What did you study at Grove City and why did you choose to study it?<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cI studied Finance and Biblical and Religious Studies (BARS) during my time at GCC. \u00a0I chose Finance because I knew I wanted to get into the business world from a career standpoint post-graduation. However, I also had a deep interest in furthering my spiritual development while in college, so I went the Biblical and Religious Studies route as well even though I wasn\u2019t planning on pursuing a career in formal ministry.\u201d<\/p>\n What is one thing you wish you did differently during your time at the Grove?<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201c<\/strong>Looking back, I wish I would have spent more time developing deeper relationships with my professors, as they were all great resources and wonderful people.\u201d<\/p>\n How did Grove City College prepare you for the \u201creal world?\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n \u201c<\/strong>My Finance major gave me a lot of valuable knowledge about the economy and the way different markets operate. The classes provided a solid foundation for me to expand upon as I worked as a finance specialist at PNC and now as a financial advisor for Wells Fargo.\u201d<\/p>\n What is your favorite memory from college?<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cMy favorite memories from college came from rooming with my brother during my sophomore year. He was a senior that year and we both decided to join the Alpha Omega housing group. It was cool to be able to spend so much time together and have that shared experience while at school. I\u2019ll hold on to those memories for a very long time.\u201d<\/p>\n I hope after reading some of Alex\u2019s experience from the College, you are encouraged.
