Glenville State College

Glenville State is a pretty nice school. its absolutely huge and the insides of the buildings are stunning in most places. I went there and they were moving the office buildings around and was told that the administration office was being moved to a new area. but overall, it's a really nice school and its perfect for people who love to walk. they have some pretty steep hills you could walk up and a lot of stairs.

Glencille state is an overall good college. But personally, I feel like I have to constantly look over my shoulder when I'm by myself. I am constantly cat called and it makes me feel very unsafe. I am beyond happy I live off of campus because I can come home to a safer environment.

The best thing I have to say about this college is that I’m about to leave it. The food has made over half the school sick, when the students demanded to have this addressed they simply said they would create new food options. Neither the quality of the food or the options improved. The teaching staff is only helpful when they have the time and patients, few are amazing instructors but those few are being pushed out. As a student I know exactly which instructor/professor is worth anything at what they do and more than half have decided to leave. This is due to the over bearing load put upon them, with lack of pay. They are required to take on a whole departments work, given the tittle of multiple jobs without the pay of them, they do not receive a raise either. The athletic department is part of the culture of the “good ol boy”, recently a convicted rapist was recuirted onto our football team, the student body was not aware of his charges till a scared girl researched him then proceeded to warn the rest of the famale body. The woman’s soccer team was forced to build their own locker room, where they work almost eight hours straight cutting and bruising their body because if it didn’t get done in time they were told they would no longer receive scholarship, or a place on the team. The boy football team however had their lockeroom built with custom aspects; hard wood flooring, new uniforms placed in every locker, custom made corn hole sets, speakers with surround sound, and a private bathroom. The coaching staff is treated untouchable, the female soccer coach had multiple accusations against him, when a meeting was set up to address these accusations the team was told there would be a formal report made with the NCAA, no report was made and the department staff says the NCAA was never in glenville to this date meaning no report was officially made. The president of the college has told the staff in the resgitor office to approve as little people possibly for overload courses to force students to stay in glenville longer. Recently I ran into this issue, they came I need another course that they will not let me take due being over the max amount of credit hours. In 2017 they restricted the allowed amount from 18 to 17 forcing people to pay an extra fee for taking over load courses which is unavoidable with that odd number. I was approved to combined to courses to graduate on time because it was a science with a lab, now 30 days after being approved I am being told I am not to graduate because they changed their mind, a committee that I never met is saying that they never approved it and that the lab hour I am taking is not an actual lab. This school is a plague on so many people costing students hundreds and thousands of dollars because they are allowed to change their mind at a drop of a hat, this would never occur at a better, larger school that isn’t ran by money hunger men and women. Don’t attend this college unless you want to pay twice as much as you thought you would.

I thoroughly enjoy GSC, but my main problem with the college is that there is nothing to do in the area. On the side note, the professors and staff are very friendly and the people here will become your family over time. Make the most out of this place and it'll be a great experience.

Glenville State College is an awesome college to go to if you like small class sizes. The professors are personable, friendly, and make themselves available for one-on-one time with students. Glenville is a small homey town with a positive environment and amazing people. Everyone is super kind and it is alright to be quirky. Do not let Glenville's small size fool you; our student life makes sure that there are always events going on, such as bingo, escape rooms, and paint night! We have many wonderful clubs and organizations to choose from. Many students come to Glenville with scholarships in athletics, so a large portion of the population are athletes. Some of the most common majors at GSC include: Education, criminal justice, forestry. If you are in to Bluegrass, you are in the right place; you can actually get a major in Bluegrass! The academic success center offers many free services to students, such as tutoring for almost every subject, mock interviews, resume building, and so much more! GSC also offers many on campus jobs so that paying for tuition is a little less complex. Now that you have heard some of the pros, let's talk about the cons. The cafeteria food is good, but it is often difficult to make healthy choices. The dorm rooms are also pretty small. The campus is on a hill, which is a great way to get in your exercise, but many people are not a huge fan. Overall, Glenville State College is a great school! I am so happy that I decided to come here; there is no where else I would rather be.

Overall I haven't been there yet but I really can't wait to come out there and meet new people explore. I am so excited to be part of Grenville State College also I can not wait to be everyone overall my Second family the soccer girls

Overall, I'm glad that I attended Glenville State. I feel like I received a good education and have made several lasting relationships with fellow students as well as professors. For the price that I paid in tuition and housing, I feel like it was a good investment.

Overall my experience at Glenville State College has been great. Although I was originally hoping to contract as an ROTC cadet and the program was cut by our main branch, I still like it here. In fact I was going to transfer to WVSU for ROTC however their admissions department wasn't on top of things and same with their registrar. I say that to say this Glenville, honestly makes enrolling as painless and easy as possible.
