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 a tour\u2026 unless you ask. So, here are some questions you should definitely ask on any campus tour you take in the future:<\/p>\n

W\"IMG_0426(2)\"<\/a>hen in the chapel\/place of worship<\/em><\/p>\n

“Who has been your favorite chapel speaker so far this year?”<\/strong><\/p>\n

This question will prompt the tour guide to talk about what kind of speakers come to campus if she has not already. In regards to Grove City College, we offer a wide range of chapel speakers so students are exposed to something different every time.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"IMG_0090(2)\"<\/a>When in the science building \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

“Why is the core science requirement important?”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Asking why an entrepreneurship major needs to take Chemistry 101 lets you see what kind of academics the college has to offer. Since Grove City College strives for a well-rounded education, the science requirement is a part of the course load to give students a taste for all fields of study different from the degree they are working for. The answer the tour guide gives will also give you a feel for what the academic expectations are on campus.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When in a student lounge<\/em><\/p>\n

“Do you have any great stories from hanging out in a lounge?”<\/strong><\/p>\n

An extremely casual question with the opportunity to hear a comedic, classic college story. For example, I used to tell prospective students about my friends and me making enchiladas in a co-ed kitchen. It always makes the families laugh and it shows that there are cool things to do without breaking the budget.<\/p>\n

When in an academic building\u00a0\"IMG_3448\"<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

“What are the student-professor relationships like?”\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

A little different than the “student-to-professor ratio” question. The response will be different because it will not be a number, it will be a story or an opinion. For me, I wanted to know I would be valued as a unique individual, not just one of 100 in a lecture hall. Grove City College professors know my name, know my dog’s name, and genuinely care about my academic success. If I heard that on a tour, I would not have consider any other school. The photo on the left is actually me and my academic adviser (thanks for the filter, Snapchat).<\/p>\n

At the end of the tour<\/em><\/p>\n

“What sold you on Grove City?”<\/strong><\/p>\n

While everyone is different, you may be surprised that your tour guide was looking for the same characteristics in a college you are. Based on his or her answer, you can bounce ideas off of one another for what expectations are fair or a little too unattainable. On top of that, with the tour over and fading in formality, the tour guide will likely answer honestly \u2013 mostly because it is a question directed at them and asking for their opinion. I guarantee the answer will be followed by huge amounts of bragging about GCC.<\/p>\n
