  • Postgraduates: Given the latest information, there was a 109% increase in graduate students from Fall 2022, but the exact number of postgraduate students is not provided in the sources. However, we can estimate based on the previous year's data. In Fall 2022, the total enrollment was 1,560 students, but the specific number of graduate students is not specified. However, given the significant increase: - If we assume a small number of graduate students in Fall 2022 (for example, around 50-100), a 109% increase would put the number in the range of **100-200+** graduate students. Since the exact number is not provided, this is the closest estimate based on available data

Loving Glenville so far!
Overall 4
I haven't started there yet but from the multiple visits the campus is amazing. I love the food and all the nice and helpful people. The professors that I have spoke to are awesome and the dorms are so cozy looking. I can't wait to start school at GSC in the fall of 2017.

not safe. cameras don’t work. there is way more that happens here but the school keeps it on the dl to maintain a good rep. “judicial committee” will do whatever to claim the person as innocent so they don’t have to deal w it. maybe that’s y the cameras don’t work. also, don’t go to public safety for anything.

Do not go here. It was the biggest waste of 7k in my life. The administration has no idea how to manage classes. I knew a kid that had to leave in the middle of a lab class to go to a math class. This school believes it is the next WVU. Sorry but you're not. There is NOTHING to do here. You have a go mart, mcdonalds,and pizza hut. Thats it for 40mi

Worst cashiers office of any university that I have dealt with. The cashiers & registrars office lost several of my documents, several times each. I would not recommend this school to my worst enemy.

Do not go here. The food is terrible and their arent many options at all. The ac and heating unit doesnt work properly in the dorms. Being here made me the most depressed Ive ever been in my life. There is literally nothing to do unless youre up for a 40 minute drive. The school says their acceptance rate is high but they dont mention its 100%

This area has very little employment to offer to off set the tuition cost. Dorms are not monitored well for the use of illegal drugs which you smell often in the hallways. Some do not do their jobs fully. When a student is injured and unable to attend class school personal does not do their jobs to notify professors so student grades tend to drop.
