“After attending Freshman Instant Decision Day, I knew that Georgian Court was where I belonged. Every single person I came in contact with was warm and welcoming, which made my decision quite easy. I was drawn to GCU’s small class sizes, the academic programs, and the Catholic tradition of the Mercy core values.”

The Campus Overnight Experience at the Women's College
So, how will you choose which school is right for you?
You try on shoes and clothes before you buy them, so why not try a college on for size? Experience what it is like to spend a day in the shoes of a GCU student by taking part in the Georgian Court University Campus Experience. You'll shadow a current student through her typical day and spend the night in her residence hall. It's a smart and fun way to see if our campus and community is a good fit for you.
We welcome high school seniors who are considering applying to Georgian Court; have already applied and are making their decision; or have already made their decision and would like to get a preview of life on campus.
Upon arrival, you will meet your hostess for the evening, attend dinner as our guest, and go to an evening activity. You'll sleep in one our residence halls, and attend classes with your hostess.
