  1. What college did you transfer from and why?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I transferred from the Community College of Allegheny County.\u00a0 I wasn\u2019t sure exactly where I wanted to go after graduation and the community college was a temporary situation.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. How did you find Grove City?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      I live outside of Pittsburgh and have known about Grove City for years.\u00a0 A lot of people from my church are associated with Grove City as well.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. What made you eventually decide to transfer to Grove City?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        I initially did not want to come to Grove City.\u00a0 I felt that it was too close to home and I knew a lot of people here and I wanted a different experience.\u00a0 I finally gave in and went on a tour around campus and fell in love with it.\u00a0 Throughout my freshman year at CCAC I would come up and stay with friends to get a true feel of the school.<\/p>\n

        \"Jen\"<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/strong>\u00a04. \u00a0 What made you stay?<\/strong><\/p>\n

        Everything.\u00a0 The academics were challenging enough for my attention, the Christian environment was refreshing, the professors are personable and of course my amazing, wonderful friends.<\/p>\n

        \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/strong>\u00a05. \u00a0 \u00a0What ways did Grove City offer to help you get assimilated when you first came?<\/strong><\/p>\n

        My connection group leaders through OB.\u00a0 They were the most helpful, useful and insightful people who gave us the true low down on Grove City and didn\u2019t treat us like freshman, but also understood that we were still new to the school and didn\u2019t know much about the school.\u00a0 OB was the most helpful but that was about it.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. How will this experience influence your future after you graduate?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Grove City has prepared me for graduation.\u00a0 This school has instilled a strong work ethic and a strong Christian worldview.\u00a0 It helped me find my passion for social work and grew my passion for serving others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
