Categories Comments Great for these types of students Those craving a small campus atmosphere in a peaceful setting A small school where they could have smaller classes and more individual attention
Bang for the buck Although Georgian Court University is a private college, it does provide merit scholarships and other academic scholarships which can hopefully reduce some of the cost of attendance for me.
Will enjoy being here The campus is very small and beautiful and from the moment I first stepped onto the campus I knew it was the right place for me. I just felt like it could be a second home for me.
Will learn a lot The program I wish to major in at the college, Communications, is small and I've been told is very hands-on which I feel will keep me engaged and teach me more about the career field I will pursue in the future.

Categories Comments Campus Safety the campus has guarded gates all around. i also live about 5 minutes away from the campus and the campus in in lakewood border of howell nj, which is a very safe area.
Clubs and Activities there are many activities and clubs, too many to name. everyone is so friendly that even if you are a freshman or a transfer student, they make the transition experience great.
Great for these types of students i think this is great for all students. gcu is a catholic school so students that are interested in campus ministry clubs would love it. they have mass every week on campus so you don't have to leave if you don't have a car.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus what allured me to gcu is its beautiful campus. this campus was originally a millionaire railroad owner's land and a lot of the buildings and statues throughout the campus have remained the same. there are tall trees and a lake right behind the campus.
Bang for the buck i think compared to other institutions i seeked out, gcu tuition in not bad. they also offer scholarships which really helps out.
What to do for fun gcu has so many events going on that there is always something to do. i recently won tickets to the winter formal which was at ramada inn and it was wonderful! they always have free events and offer food and beverages, sporting events and more. gcu is close to the jersey shore and great shopping mall areas!
Food and Dining the first time i ate at gcu i was in love because they offer so much food and they are all healthy for a low price.
Dorm Life unfortunately i am a off-campus student but i have spent time in the dorms with friends and it is a very clean and cozy place!
Academic Rigor academics are valued highly at gcu and the instructors expect students to perform highly academically.
Tips for prospective students i would suggest to do your research and explore what gcu has to offer. gcu is truly a great school for students to grow and develop into successful individuals. they offer many different organizations and clubs and i would suggest to seek out these clubs when considering applying. the campus is beautiful and very inspiring and motivational, i would suggest to visit the campus asap!
In three sentences i would rate georgian court university a 9 on a scale of 10 being the best. when i had transferred to gcu, i was treated with the up-most respect and my needs were accommodated. having been at gcu only two months, my experience here has been amazing because of the environment, staff and instructors.

Categories Comments Campus Safety The campus security never receives enough credit. They are on the job 24/7. I see every time at night, and even off campus.
Clubs and Activities Georgian Court has a abundance of clubs and activities. These clubs range from campus ministry to history to Active minds a club I joining because it addresses mental illnesses. There is a club fit for any personality, and also helps you become more social.
Great for these types of students Students that want and need student teacher interaction, rather than a large lecture hall where you get lost beneath the audience. Also students that prefer a quiet school, that does not have partying constantly.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus There are many landmarks and monuments on campus. That is because it belong to George Jay Gould who own a estate then after he pass on the estate was turn into a campus, with two of his mansions still on campus. The gardens that were design are still there and look like someone really leave there.
Bang for the buck This is the best university you never heard of and the best place you could ever go. It really is a place that is worthy of all the critically acclaim it receives.There is also various internships, and programs that prepare you for the workforce.
What to do for fun Too many to list, you can walk around observe the landmarks, go to the tennis center, common room. Furthermore, you can go to New York which is thirty minutes away. The school offers shuttle cars to go the mall.
Food and Dining I have practically no words to describe the food and dining. It is completely great, with the hardest working staff, and chefs. They go out of their to make sure you have three meals a day.
Dorm Life There is currently three beautiful dorms on campus. St Joseph, St. Catherine's, and Maria. The dorm is clean, and the room is extremely spacey with a lot of draws and has it own dresser.
Academic Rigor The academics are tough, but they are design to challenge to become a better student. The teachers get to teach in small classroom captivity, so that means more student teacher interaction. There is a number of student support services like Academic Development Center, Community learning Center are programs specifically design to assist students.
Tips for prospective students Go visit the campus and walk around. look to a admission counselors. You could even go on the website and up numbers of the head department of majors you are interested in. Do not feel afraid to reach out and ask for questions.
In three sentences Georgian Court University is the best school you ever heard of. It is low key, and the campus is fantastic. Right off the bat you will feel right at home. The students and teachers are very welcoming and warm.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Safety on campus is very tight. We have a guarded gate to the university that is guarded 24/7! When my parnets come to pick me up, I have to notify the guard that they're coming so he/she knows to expect them. We also have the campus police who patrol the grounds in his car, so that's even more extra safety.
Clubs and Activities I myself aren't in any clubs yet, but I do run track which keeps me extremely busy. I really don't have much time to join clubs or other activities because my sport is very demanding. There are many different clubs/activities that one can join. There's something here for everyone!
Great for these types of students I never attended an all girl school in my life, but that;s what keeps it quiet too I guess and it allots for time of study. Being a quiet campus, it's great for the type of student who is very serious about keeping their GPA up, or maybe not so much that, but a person who is serious about going to college and doing well!
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus There's a tree on the campus with a fence around it. We learned that the owners of the mansion, the wife, died under that tree. She was trying to lose weight and just collapsed and died there.
What to do for fun We had a Halloween party which was fun! We also had to collect gifts for needy children at Christimas which was fun, and of course rewarding. I will say, our university is quiet compared to others, trust me, but I guess it's good because it keeps us studying more instead of being disrupted with other things. There was just a fashion show the other night which my 2 friends and I attended. We weren't in it, but just went to watch and it was fun.
Food and Dining The food and dining hall and cafe are good. There's a wide variety of food to get throughout the day. Me and my friends go to the dining hall around 5:30 every night, I guess you can say it's a bit of a habit going the same time everyday! We enjoy the dining hall as we unwind from our day and sit and chat and catch up from the day.
Dorm Life Dorm life is good! Our rooms are small, I guess you can say normal dorm size, but we do have alot of closet space. There's cabinets going across one wall where you have a mirror, and then there's a long closet in the room, with two beds. There aren't showers in the room, you have to go down the hall, which isn't that bad. In the bathroom there's 3 toilets, 4 showers and a bathtub.
Academic Rigor Some of the professor's are alittle more tougher than others. For example, the classes that you think will be really easy aren't, and the classes you think will be challenging are, but not too bad. My class load wasn't too bad this year as I'm a freshman, but next year I plan on taking more courses.
Tips for prospective students To start with, Georgian Court is an all-girl Catholic university, so if you're looking for a co-ed you might want to double think attending here. Although we just had a campus meeting and we are trying to go co-ed...Yes! The campus itself is extremely nice. The grounds are always kept well. The campus is located on acres and acres with a mansion on it. A railroad engineer lived here many, many years ago with his wife. There are many different statues all over the property, with a fountain. There's a lake on the property and a japanese tea garden, which is cool. The professor's are pretty cool too.
In three sentences I give Georgian Court University a very high rating. The professors here are very helpful when needed. The campus is extremely nice and very well-kept at all times.

Academic Rigor Academics here is such a great tool in learning about education. The teachers offer as many help as you need. There are also great tutoring opportunities.
Tips for prospective students Have a goal and plans about what you would like to accomplish after you graduate. Have a major and a minor prepared. Get as many scholarships as possible.

Categories Comments Campus Safety The entire perimeter of the campus is fenced in and there is a main gate where everyone must check in. All visitors must check in and obtain a visitor pass. There are campus phone lines and always a security guard patrolling the campus.
Clubs and Activities There are many clubs and activities. I was a choreographer on the dance team and honor club.
Great for these types of students Goal oriented, driven and students who are geared toward obtaining a great education.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus This is a religious university so there are masses throughout the day, ceremonies and the campus is an arboretum
Bang for the buck Georgian Court is an expensive university however you do receive a quality education and the attention of the staff and professors.
What to do for fun The Beach! Lakewood is located slighly mainland but a short 20 min or so drive to Seaside or Point Pleasant and the boardwalk, beach, rides etc are available. There is also a minor league baseball team which is about 10-15 minutes away. There are farms in Howell and Jackson to go horseback riding, there are movie theaters and bowling alleys.
Food and Dining The food is provided by chartwells which is pretty good. There are multiple places to eat on campus- the main dinign hall and the court cafe are th emain areas. There are also many places in the surrounding neighborhood that are good also. Chain restaurants are a short drive away.
Dorm Life I did not live in a dorm- however, I have been in the dorms- there are brand new dorms that are reserved for upper level classmen which are nice. The dorms for sophmores and freshman are adequate.
Academic Rigor This is a tough school, most professors administer a tough work load. If attending Georgian Court they expect that you apply effort and it does pay off in the end.
Tips for prospective students Georgian Court is a school that prides itself on values and preparing students for the future; this is not a party school. However, the staff and professors will work one on one with the students and do everything to help you succeed.
In three sentences Georgian Court University located in Lakewood NJ is a diverse school that offers many classes and majors for both ungraduate and graduates. The school has expanded in the past few years and will be going co-ed in 2012. The University offers small, intimate classes where the staff know your name and not by a number.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Best there is.
Great for these types of students Students who are not here to play any games and are really focused on their studies should go here.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus They say the area behind the library is haunted, and the old buildings around the campus are beautiful.
Bang for the buck I find that even though I love my program, I feel that some of the course I could have taken in high school, are not advance enough for me also. In addition, I find that the campus life is a big factor of wanting to stay at the school and around the campus.
What to do for fun Leave to go home on the weekend, or hope your friends stay.
Food and Dining It could be better, but they are working on it.
Dorm Life The girls here are very immature, and there's a lot of senseless fights. In addition, there's not much dorm life because of the atmosphere of the college. And there aren't many options outside of campus too.
Academic Rigor I am a nursing major and I really do love my professors and the program even though it's very new.
Tips for prospective students Make sure you check all of your options, such as financial aide and if this school provides your major. They are making cuts in their programs.
In three sentences This college has a wonderful staff and campus. But this school is better suited for commuter students rather than residents. There really isn't much to do around campus and the surrounding area does not peek any interest.

Categories Comments Food and Dining I am a commuter so I mostly eat at the cafe located on campus in between classes. The food is awesome and there are so many choices. Even the staff in the cafe is kind and willing to make the students happy in there food choices.
Academic Rigor Like I stated before the teachers are great and Georgian Court has made it a point to help students academically. There is an academic advisory center and student tutors 6 days a week from the A.M to the late afternoon, and the list goes on.
Tips for prospective students If you are accepted and end up attending, get as involved as possible, especially if you're a commuter because it's a bit hard to get into things since you're not on campus all the time.
In three sentences Beautiful campus and great atmosphere. Awesome teachers who truly care about their students. I really enjoy going to school everyday because my teachers are really cool and the girls that attend GCU are nice.

What to do for fun Where to start? There's so many clubs to join, or sports teams, and almost every week there multiple things to do like rollerskating, movie night outside, performances, and SO much more.
Food and Dining There are two places to eat on campus the Dining Hall and the Court Cafe. They both have good food but the Cafe is faster while the Hall is kind of a sit down and eat.
Dorm Life It's so much fun to live on campus here, and the freshman dorm is so much fun. There's always movie nights or other activities going on.
Academic Rigor I'm a freshman right now and I'm not saying everything I'm taking is super easy, but it's not to challenging.

Academic Rigor Many classes are too easy, while the occasional other is incredibly difficult.

In three sentences Georgian Court is a small school with limited opportunities for enjoyment outside of the classroom. More often than not, the teachers prove to be difficult in the sense that they do not cooperate with student needs. This school is not what I was expecting.
