Gettysburg College Top Questions

The unique factors of my school are how small the campus is and it's location. It is hard to go out side without running into at least ten people you know. The campus is really small and convenient. The most interesting part about Gettysburg College is the fact that it is surrounded by history and a battlefield. There are supposedly ghosts and spirits all across campus because of the great battle that was fought here. There is also the Civil War Institue that no other college has.

The professors were uniquely involved in the student's progress, and there was ample opportunity for interaction with faculty members.

The beautiful campus and the size of the classes. Student-professor interaction is very important here as well.

The historic setting of Gettysburg is an ideal location to learn all kinds of interesting things about American history. It's also an absolutely gorgeous place to live and learn

Going out at night is huge. There are parties at night from Tuesday through Saturday. There are also day parties Fridays through Sunday. Many students plan everything else around going to parties.

The only thing I'd like to add is, study abroad! About 50{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of Gettysburg students study abroad, and they have some great programs. The best part is that with most of them, you just pay the same tuition that you pay Gettysburg, it's not complicated at all. I know it can seem kind of scary and like a big step, but take it from a girl who grew up in the same small town her whole life and went to college 30 minutes away--you will never regret broadening your horizons and opening your eyes to the world.

i feel that i really let my bar down and let everything out.
