    Tips for prospective students

    Throw yourself into the college experience. Try everything that you can and you will make tons of friends like I did. I left my inhibitions behind from high school and I have never regretted that decision. In doing so , I made more friends in two semesters that I had in 4 years of high school.

    Bang for the buck

    I am definitely getting my bang for my buck. There are so many awesome activities that have happened throughout my first semesters here.

    Am enjoying being here

    I am definitely enjoying it here. GSC is an amazing place for any student to be. It is small enough for you to know everyone and find your way around easily, but large enough for you to be able to lose yourself in the crowd whenever you want to.

    Am learning a lot

    I absolutely love all of my classes. The professors are very interested in what you do and are excellent in trying to help those who need help. The classes challenge me in a way that high school never did without stressing me out.

    Tips for prospective students

    Take a campus tour of Glenville before you make your decision. You will be impressed with the friendliness. Walk right into the department chair of the major that interests you. They will be more than willing to help you out.

    Bang for the buck

    Compared to other colleges, it is not too awfully expensive to attend college here, but nevertheless, so many college students, including myself, have trouble finding the funds to cover it all.

    There is a very friendly atmosphere here on campus at Glenville. It gives you a warm feeling to be apart of a close knit campus.

    Am learning a lot

    My mother attended Glenville State, she didn't get a degree, but has 50 college hours. My sister received her degree from Glenville in May of 2011 in business administration. I like Glenville State because it is a smaller school with less kids per classroom.

    What to do for fun

    The only thing to really do for fun is go to Morgantown which is an hour and a half from our school. Which means you would need a car to go. Also we have a small local bar people usually gather and go to dance and drink

    Food and Dining

    The food here could be better. It's basically a repeat of the same food everyday with a little change in the menu here and there

    Dorm Life

    Dorm life is kind of boring at times. People generally just walk around and find there way into different people's room to hang out or socialize

    Academic Rigor

    The classes aren't too hard as long as you pay attention and take notes. If you don't take good notes then don't expect to do well in the course

    Tips for prospective students

    Stay on top of your work and don't procrastinate. When given an assignment, start it that day and don't be afraid to ask questions. Your professor is there to help you

    In three sentences

    Glenville's a real small school with not a lot of anything around it. Some people may look at it as one of the negatives of attending the school but I actually look at it as a positive. The fact that there's nothing to do makes sure I get my work done and my grades reflect how well I'm doing.
