I really enjoy going to this University. Having come from Brookdale I didn't realize how horrible I was treated until I was welcomed into GCU. I love it. The campus is beautiful. The overall vibe is positive. It is a great school and I am so glad I decided to go back; after I finished my associates at Brookdale I was just burnt out and exhausted from the constant worry and overall terrible treatment, but it is the complete opposite at GCU. They made me feel very at ease (within minutes) and all of my worry turned into absolute excitement. It is my second semester, and I have one more to go! I know that I'll miss it here!!

The property setting is lovely, set on sacred land with many trees near the lake. The University itself has many majors to choose from both undergrad and graduate. I have experienced courses at the graduate level in Education and in Integrative Health. Both have had knowledgeable and fabulous professors.

As a first-generation student with a Hispanic background, this university provided me with a welcoming environment where I felt comfortable pursuing and achieving my goals. The professors not only served as educators but also as significant role models. Their well-explained lessons in social work were enriched with a personal touch, making the learning experience truly inspiring. I appreciate the well-structured curriculum that encompasses various branches of social work, providing a comprehensive understanding. The reading materials and projects assigned contribute significantly to my preparation for a successful career in social work. I feel prepared to take on future roles, making meaningful impacts on both the community and individuals. I love the inclusion of a toolkit that allows us to integrate our perspectives into social work when collaborating with others.

Georgian Court is a great university, most especially for its faculty and staff being so welcoming as I am a transfer student from Brookdale and did not know anyone. Professors introduced me to like minded students that I am friends with, on top of being super helpful and leading me to the right direction in learning new things and being able to apply those teachings in my own life and even rub off on others. Which is ultimately priceless.
