Greensboro College is in the historic district of Greensboro, it provides a beautiful front campus to enjoy being outdoors with great architecture to provide wonderful pictures. Many connections can be made by getting to know one's professors, and by taking advantage of the opportunities provided. This school is a hidden gem, with great potential.

this places is ass af. cafe works are rude and make fun of the students. don't take chemistry with Wayne Harrison. he sucks at his job, doesn't help you at all, just assumes "you know it." the dorms are pretty crappy for the amount students have to pay if your only option is to live on campus

There are not enough bad things I can say about the advisers here. It is rare to find one that knows what they are talking about. Also, most of the upper-level classes are offered once every two years. So if you miss one, you're out of luck, and don't expect the advisers to tell you what those classes are until after you've missed it.
