Georgian Court University was the best decision I ever made. The small class size means the professors actually know you by name and really care about your success. They're always there to help, whether it's finding research opportunities or guiding you in professional development. The personal attention and support you get here are incredible.

The only downsides to GCU are the food and the location. In the middle of lakewood, traffic everywhere you go. Overall GCU is an amazing school and I can't wait to spend my last year and a half here.

I'm so glad I attend this school! I will admit that some programs may be better than others and there's issues with faculty and staff from time to time, but overall, I love my experience and GCU and I don't have any regrets coming here! a psychology/elementary education student

Very student orientated, never had a college so concerned & helpful to their students!! Beautiful campus!! State of the art fitness/activity center. Fantastic buffet less than $6.50. Campus is older/small. Lakewood safe but frustrating to drive through during certain times of day.Activities almost daily. Dorms are a minus, professors are a plus.

Worst "University" in the country. It does not even deserve to have the title university. They do not even have real buildings, the dorms look like prison cells. Every single community college in the area far exceeds this campus in terms of looks, educational quality, reputability, and connections. Poor excuse for a "university", DO NOT attend!

Would not have gone here if I knew how unorganized and unfair this school is. They make it so hard to graduate on time. Does not let you take certain classes at other locations. advisors suck, they dont tell you want you need to take until the last minute and realize you cant graduate on time.

A lot of the professors are not that smart and can barely remember any thing, even when they're only teaching 2 classes! Go somewhere else, especially if you're smart, this school is not academically challenging at all.
Overall 1
Very outdated university, minimal assistance, professors are very outdated.
Overall 1.1
The school lacks a lot. Not much to do, kinda sucks. I wouldn't recommend it. Hard to drive to, impossible at certain times. Small classes are nice but a lot of the people are extremely immature here.

I do not recommend this school. If you commute or do not play a sport, you will feel like an outsider. The school has professors that do not even know how to use simple functions on the computer. One professor left a comment on a paper of mine and misspelt every word! The school is in the worst spot ever! Do not even try to drive out at 2 PM!
