    Food and Dining

    Not a fan, try to do too much with the food when everyone would be fine with burgers and hotdogs every day.
    Dorm Life

    Dorms are great
    Academic Rigor

    Profs are willing to help and classes are small.
    Tips for prospective students

    Make sure to pick your classes based off the professor not based off the class.
    In three sentences

    The overall aspect of the college and people is amazing. Everyone seems to be friendly and happy to help if need be. The food isn't the greatest though that's the only downfall.

    Tips for prospective students

    Look into the college, and visit the campus. Don't decide on a school if you've never been there.
    In three sentences

    Goshen has a nice campus, but is somewhat expensive. Even with a scholarship from there, I would not have been able to afford it. Plus, it was far from home, so coming home would've been difficult.

    Campus Safety

    Nestled in the small town of Goshen, Goshen College feels like a home. I feel comfortable walking alone at night on campus, and I know that there is an active security official always patrolling.
    Clubs and Activities

    Goshen has over 40 clubs, multiple music groups, plenty of sports and intramural activities, campus activities council, an active residence life group, and many performing artist concerts. If it there isn't a club for an activity that you like, you can make one!
    Great for these types of students

    Goshen is perfect for students who are passionate about peacemaking, social justice, making a difference in the world, the environment, christianity, and community! If you want a place where you can grow and be challenged, a place where you will have leadership opportunities, and a place where you will find lifelong friends, then Goshen is for you!
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    Goshen has a long history of singing hymns. Many times each semester, students will congregate to sing hymns, filling the space with beautiful four-part harmonies. Before Goshen, I didn't thinking singing hymns could be that much fun, but now I know that this singing is something that I'll take with me wherever I go. Another thing that's special about Goshen is the relationships with professors. Your professors will know you by name, and they encourage you to call them by first names. It's not uncommon for your class to be invited to a professors house for super or desert!
    Bang for the buck

    Goshen, though it has an expensive sticker price, is totally worth it. No one pays the full tuition because of all the scholarships that are available.
    What to do for fun

    With over 40 clubs, 7 musical groups, multiple sports teams, an active residence life, and an active community, Goshen always has something going on. Oftentimes you have to pick and choose what you want to do because there's so much. You can play ultimate frisbee, make music with people, watch movies, attend concerts, go to sporting events(soccer games are especially fun!), and basically whatever else you might want to do! There are some parties that happen and you can go to, but there's no pressure to do that, and there's always plenty to do besides.
    Food and Dining

    The Westlawn Dining Hall is catered by AVI fresh and offers a wide variety of food options. There's always a well-stocked salad bar with an assortment of lettuces, spinach, vegetables, and cold pastas. We have a main line of hot foods that always has at least one vegetarian option. There's always two types of soup available, and we always have a special Fusion station where staff prepare a special option. There's even multiple types of pizza at every meal! Overall, the food is good quality and there's always something for everyone.
    Dorm Life

    Living in the dorms as a first and second year provides great opportunities for meeting new people and making lifelong friendships. Some of my best memories are of staying up late having deep conversations with people, watching movies, running to Steak & Shake or Taco Bell, going on floor retreats, or having late-night hymn sings with over 80 people! Juniors and Seniors have the option to live in small group housing or in apartments. As a junior I lived in an on-campus house with 9 other people, and had a great year! We had fellowship meals once a week, and there was always someone to cook/talk/watch a movie/ play a game with!
    Academic Rigor

    As at any college, courses differ in difficulty. I've been pleased with the level of rigor, though Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry were definitely challenges that I wouldn't want to repeat. The courses are engaging, and because small class sizes, you can engage with professors. Professors integrate what we learn theoretically to real life issues, and they engage with hard questions.
    Tips for prospective students

    Stay overnight, go to a choir concert, attend a hymn sing, sit in on Peace, Justice, and Conflict studies class. Goshen is expensive, but it also offers a lot of scholarships-- so be sure to look into those!
    In three sentences

    At Goshen you find a passionate community and lifelong friends. Goshen provides opportunities to engage in classes with professors, on campus with other students, in the community and around the world through its courses and unique Study Service Term. Here is a place where I have grown and will be sad to leave.

    Food and Dining

    The Westlawn Dining Hall is catered by AVI Fresh. AVI fresh offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner each day. The staff is a group of friendly people of all ages, and the students are welcomed and encouraged to talk with the chefs to make sure their needs and desires are being met. They offer a wide variety of food, and have a new specialty every month. The food is good, and the service is efficient.
    Dorm Life

    Goshen College offers a safe and active dorm for first and second year students to live in. The residence halls are staffed with friendly residence assistants and ministry leaders on each floor, and a welcoming environment for students from all over the world. There are quiet spaces for those who need it, and there are places where students can meet each to socialize through games or discussions at Java Junction, the schools coffee shop.
    Academic Rigor

    Campus Safety

    Our safety on campus is very good. I have almost no problems walking alone on campus as night. This is a good thing because the security guards on campus don't really do that much.
    Greek Life

    We do not have a Greek Life. Goshen College believes in including everybody and feels that Greek Life would be a way to exclude people from joining groups.
    Clubs and Activities

    There is a large diversity in the clubs on campus. There are clubs for knitting, ASL, Latino students, Black students, social work majors, Catholics, the list goes on and on. The clubs also put on activities for the students on campus throughout the year.
    Great for these types of students

    Goshen College is great for students who want to attend a small Christian college that really cares about the success of their students.
    What to do for fun

    On the first Friday of every month, the city has a First Friday where all the shops are open late and normally have sales going on. On campus, there is both a swing dancing club and a Salsa club. Finally, there is a rec center where you can play wally ball or rock climb.
    Food and Dining

    Our cafeteria isn't called the ROTT for nothing. While compared to some schools we have fine dining, the lack of options and disregard for food allergies is alarming. One good quality about the cafeteria is that they buy as much local product as they can to support the community.
    Dorm Life

    With dorm life the freshmen and second years will feel very disconnected to the rest of the students because they are housed in different buildings. Student Life always has activities going on for the students who live in the dorms to participate in. Being a former RA and knowing many of the current and past RAs, I can honestly say that the Resident Life team are great people who truly care about the people in the dorms.
    Academic Rigor

    Be prepared to think out of the box and longer and harder than you normally would do in high school. Most of the classes at Goshen challenge you to think in a way that you wouldn't typically do to achieve an end product of understanding every aspect of your major. I have studied the Bible like a priest and learned the body like a nurse; none of which applies to my major.
    Tips for prospective students

    Once I arrived at Goshen, I quickly learned that I needed to go and buy rain boots and a good coat. In the fall and spring seasons you will experience rain that makes raining cats and dogs look like a jolly walk in the park. It is also important to have a good winter coat because Goshen College has only canceled class twice in a forty year period; button up.
    In three sentences

    Goshen College is a college that has faculty and staff that care about you in a way that I didn't think possible. I came to Goshen from a large public school and was surprised to have teachers I didn't even know, know my name and sit down and chat about how I was doing. Like every college it has its ups and downs, but for me it is a place where I feel special.

    Campus Safety

    The campus itself is very safe and very quiet at all times. There are only about 2 security guards I believe.
    Greek Life

    There is no Greek Life.
    Clubs and Activities

    There are not too many clubs or activities, but there is a time to submit club ideas that could be funded by the school.
    Great for these types of students

    Quiet Mennonite students would work very well here. Peace minded students as well. Although, people who like to go out and find things to do would probably not like it. Especially without a car.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    Kickoff is a tradition that happens once a semester. It is a talent show that requires formal dress.
    Bang for the buck

    This is a very pricey school that is very strict and not in a prime location. The academics are great along with the Study Service Term, but everything else counterbalances that. The weather is also less than admirable.
    What to do for fun

    There is not much for fun unless you have a car. There is nothing on campus, since it is not a college town. The town is very small and there is practically nothing to do or go that is closer than 30 minutes away.
    Food and Dining

    There are some good things about the food, such as the salad bar. Sometimes there are not options that are appealing, especially when a vegetarian.
    Dorm Life

    It is very quiet and regulated.
    Academic Rigor

    The academics are what is good about the school. Interesting classes are offered.
    Tips for prospective students

    This school is very small, so be prepared to know everyone-- things travel fast. There is almost nothing to do on campus or around it.
    In three sentences

    A place to come if you are interested only in studies. Goshen is a very quiet mennonite school. Goshen is very strict on rules and regulations.

    Campus Safety

    We have keycards that let us on to floors and dorms. There are video monitors around campus and you often see security around at night. I've always felt very safe.
    Clubs and Activities

    There are a good number of clubs for the size of the school and they vary from theatre club to introvert club. So regardless of your personality, you can find one that fits you and your schedule.
    Great for these types of students

    If you are looking for an small setting with intimate classes and spiritual availability, this is the place for you!
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    Hymn sings are a really cool tradition. The Hymn Club has a meeting once a week and then every now and then a giant hymn sing happens on campus. Faculty and students alike join in four harmony for 15-20 songs and just enjoy music and fellowship.
    Bang for the buck

    You receive a really good education that also focuses on servicing our world and our communities. The professors love what they do and expect and help you learn no matter what. Regardless of what you believe or what help you may need, someone is there to help guide you and enable you to receive the best education possible.
    What to do for fun

    There are many intramural sports and the gym has really fun options, such as: racquet ball, spinning classes, and a rock wall. There are hymn sings, which are fabulous, and many other ways to find service that works for you. There are always sporting events going on and floor activities during the night. And no matter what, you can join or start a club that suits your fancy.
    Food and Dining

    It is a smaller school, so the hours are fewer and the so are the options. However, there are new things to try most days and some classics that can keep you full if there is nothing else that suits your appetite.
    Dorm Life

    Gorgeous dorms with great connecting lounges and hallways for all of the students. There is a really good dorm life staff and cleaning staff, so the dorms are clean and there are always fun floor activities.
    Academic Rigor

    The science classes are much more rigorous, but the 100 and 200 level classes for English and otherwise aren't especially strenuous.
    Tips for prospective students

    Make sure you want to be at a small school and enjoy that tight community feel. Also, if you want to be at this school and aren't very spiritual, I advice being open-minded to a more religious view in some classes and in the weekly chapel.
    In three sentences

    A small, liberal arts, christian school that focuses on a personal education specific to your needs. The downfall of such a small school is the hours of the cafeteria and library, but the resources are just as good as any university. It is a well grounded and tight-knit community that let's everyone share in a common bond and goal for justice in our world.

    Safety of students is taken very seriously. The security here is vigilant and very approachable.
    Greek Life

    There isn't any.
    Clubs and Activities

    there are clubs for every major in addition to political and social issues.
    Great for these types of students

    International students will like the tuition breaks that Goshen College offers and they are given first priority for on campus jobs since they can't work elsewhere on a student visa. Students who wish to major in Biology or Nursing do well. The college has a strong music and arts program as well. Students who just want to go a party school and slack off will not do well.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    There is a lot of singing and first years go through the Goshen Tunnel created by other students, professors and staff on their first day of college. There is this annoying tradition of Goshen Borrowing...where people will take/steal bikes or other items without asking. Usually the items are returned but not always.
    Bang for the buck

    The school is a bit pricey but the Finaid department really helps needy students with scholarships and other aid. It seems that athletes get the best Finaid packages but there are several scholarships available based solely on academic achievement.
    What to do for fun

    There are lots of campus related clubs and other student led activities. The drama and music programs are really good. The town of Goshen also has a First Friday each month downtown with music, food and wares for sell. There is something for everyone.
    Food and Dining

    Food is fanastic. Meal plans are a bit pricey but for organic locally grown food its worth it. There is a lot of variety. The college has a cafeteria nicknamed The Fresh. It used to be the Rott before AVI became the food provider. It also a has a grill , the Leaf Raker and a student run coffee shop called Java Junction.
    Dorm Life

    The dorms are segregated by gender and drinking is not allowed in the dorms or off campus housing. However, there is still alot of fun to be had with dorm parties and picnics held year-round.
    Academic Rigor

    It is important to pay attention to how much study time the professors suggest students take for their classes. Goshen College is known for being good preparation for grad school. The professors are strict but fair. An A in other schools is typically a B at Goshen College
    Tips for prospective students

    It is a Mennonite College so one should familiarize him or herself with the Mennonite faith and ethnic Mennonite culture. The college is working on improving its relationship with LBGT students but still has a restrictive policy concerning openly LGBT faculty. The college is also actively working on becoming more welcome to ethnic and religious diversity.
    In three sentences

    It has a good student-professor ratio and even most lower level classes are taught by professors with doctorate degrees. The cafeteria serves mostly organic food from a variety of cultures in addition to the basic college fare of pizza and sweets. There are quite a few social clubs on campus as well.

    Campus Safety

    Settled in Goshen, Indiana, a town of approximately 30,000 residents, Goshen College does not have much trouble with safety issues. 24 hour security strolls the perimeters of the campus as well as the inside of buildings. The actual college is situated a few minutes from the downtown area and is surrounded by residential housing. Academic buildings are locked at night and all dorm floors are ID entry only at all times.

    Very Good!
    Clubs and Activities

    I give it a 3 out of 5. There are plenty of groups to join but I am not in any this year.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    There is a train track that runs through the campus so you need to learn the trains schedule and give yourself plenty of time to get to class because if you get caught on the wrong side, these are long trains and you will be late for class.
    Bang for the buck

    School is a private school so it is a little pricey. They do give out decent financial aid but are strict about keeping your grades up or you loose your money. They have athletic scholarships too. You also get to study abroad and do missions work and this is part of tuition for part of 1 semester and they have very interesting places to choose from.
    What to do for fun

    Pool tables. Nice gym to work out in. Places to ride your bike. Some good places to eat in downtown Goshen and a movie theater.
    Food and Dining

    Food is okay. Java Junction is a little coffee house that the school has and you can apply for a job there too. They have coffee, smoothies and some other drinks.
    Dorm Life

    There are lots of things to do. RA's are always setting up stuff to do with the kids on different floors. Some RA's are better than others and have things to do almost every weekend. Do as many of the functions as you can. It is a great way to meet kids from the other floors.
    Academic Rigor

    Classes for math and sciences are very challenging. The school does offer study groups but there arent many 1 on 1 tutors to be found. If you carry a full load of classes and do a sport and work study, you may find your self using your whole weekend to get your homework done. But it is do able.
    Tips for prospective students

    This is a non denominational christian college so you will be expected to take some religion classes. Dont bring too much stuff with you because rooms are a little small. Campus book store doesnt have alot of personal items in it so you will need to know someone with a car to get to the Walmart to buy incendentals. Java Junction has great smoothies for a reasonable price. Bring lots of quarters for the washer and dryers.
    In three sentences

    If you are looking for a small college experience, this is the place to be. Small classes with great professors. Everyone gets a chance to play sports no matter what your ability is.

    Mennonites and other religions alike. Although the college is officially considered a Mennonite college, other religions and cultures do not feel excluded or separated from the majority. Personally, I felt as though there were no religious separations due to the sense of community. Chapel services specifically cater to Mennonites but nourish all religions.
    Tips for prospective students

    Attend social events for they are what help mold the community atmosphere.
    Bang for the buck

    Expensive tuition and rooming due to the private college status. However, the community atmosphere and opportunities at the college make up for the expense. On campus jobs are abundant and available for those who make the initiative to apply.
    Am enjoying being here

    Residence hall and building activities are numerous. Social atmosphere is constant yet not out of hand. Although the college does have behavioral standards, they do not create a sense of being overly controlled. Often, Christian colleges place many restrictions on students which treat them not as upcoming adults, this is not the case at Goshen College.
    Am learning a lot

    Classes are academically based and require studious habits. This benefits the students overall. Liberal arts colleges creates a well-rounded individual.

    Any students who are looking for a small-town, community, feeling.
    Tips for prospective students

    Go to the summer programs they offer. I met some great people at Take Another Look Weekend in March and I am still best friends with these people.
    Bang for the buck

    Tuition is pretty pricey. I feel like the level of education I am receiving is worth it, but I don't have anything to compare it too, college-wise.
    Am enjoying being here

    I started my freshman year by commuting, that didn't seem to work. Once I was on campus I felt so welcomed and like such a member of a community that I never want to leave! I love the people that I am meeting.
    Am learning a lot

    I have never attend a Christian institution before, and I feel like Goshen gives me the opportunity to not only learn about things for my major, it also helps me learn about religion and myself.

    Tuition is through the roof, but it's worth it.
    Will enjoy being here

    You will enjoy Goshen's close-knit atmosphere. However, make sure that you visit at least once before deciding to go to GC. Make sure that the environment is what you want. Some students don't like the small size or Mennonite atmosphere.
    Will learn a lot

    The teachers are excellent and care about students as individuals. Everyone will know your name.

    Tips for prospective students

    Stay on campus...it makes the school visit a lot more fun. Also, sit in on classes that might be interesting to you to see how the professors teach
