Gettysburg College Top Questions

Gettysburg is a wonderful place that takes some time to get used to. Greek letters and madras are everywhere. When the work is done, the students play hard. The work is always paramount. The president Katherine Hailey Will, "resigned" after this year because she wanted to be closer to her husband. I want to know where she was, because in two years on campus, I have only seen her once. She was a drunk who cared more about her gin and tonics than keeping the tuition at a manageable level. Although I do enjoy my time at Gettysburg because of my fraternity, personally, I feel cheated by the administration and I will never contribute another cent to Gettysburg College after I graduate. $200,000 for a college in bumfuck, PA? For that price we should be dining on gold and given free computers.

I think I pretty much said everything I wanted to. :)

I have a good time here

I love Gettysburg, and it's perfect for ME! It's not perfect for everyone, but for an outgoing girl from a college town in New England Gettysburg is the right place for me.

nah dog

There is a great mix here. people do their work so they can party as hard as they work. we all work very very hard and we all like to let loose and have fun. people generally go to class, and education is important to almost everyone here. this is not a place to come and mess around, you have to do your work but you will have your fun too.

The only thing I would like to comment about is Safety and Security. Although I see them present on campus, I do not feel as though they would be very protective. Once, my friend injured herself (she fell on her way to class) and needed someone to drive her home. She went to a blue phone and it just rang and rang and Safety and Security never picked up. She went to another phone and no one picked up again. Aren't the blue phones supposed to be for emergencies? And they didn't even pick up?

Studying abroad is very popular at Gettysburg. I think it's important to mention this because i am taking this survey from France. Over half of the student body decides to study abroad, and the school makes it very easy.

Coming from public school the lack of diversity kind of surprised me. While there are a fair amount of international students, they kind of stick to themselves.
