GCU is an awesome university! While it may not a great fit for everyone, I believe that it is a great fit for MOST students! I did not attend my undergrad at GCU but I wish I did. That is my biggest regret thus far in my 23 years of life. One important thing about this university is that it is big, so you need to know how to use the resources that are given to you. The staff, professors, and faculty are willing to work with you and are so friendly and personable. Most students arent aware of the resources or dont know how to connect which results in a negative experience/review of this school. When I was contemplating transferring here, my Admissions Counselor was SOOO nice. She made sure to keep in touch with me and answer any questions I had, she explained the application process and did not hide or withhold information like other universities do. The only reason why I did not transfer to this university was because I was a second semester jr in college and it would "too late" for me to transfer in MY OPINION. I was too scared to make that big of a life change, however, my Admissions Counselor did NOT pressure me at all to transfer and encouraged me to make the best decision regardless if it was to transfer or not. I had invested three and a half years into my current school so I decided to just stick it out. I encourage anyone who reads this review to check out this college, even if you dont think it is for you, they will help you understand what to look for in any college, they are more than happy to help answer general college questions even if it doesnt revolve around GCU. Their main goal is to help you find a college that is a good fit for YOU! They will fly you out to GCU for free, which most college do not. When I was touring colleges, I had to visit colleges at my expense, these expenses included food, transportation, hotel, etc. GCU pays for ALL of that because they believe that it is worth it in order to ensure that all students can tour colleges without financial worries.
