Beautiful Campus
Overall 4.5
Guilford is an incredible school that has lost its way. While deciding on their goals for the future they have also decided to kill the money maker a.k.a. the adult program. I feel this does not coincide with the Quaker values the school is built upon. However, that being said I pray new future leadership will find a way to save the program.

Great school that is very green conscious. The professors are awesome and financial aid is helpful. It is a very beautiful campus with a lot of activities. The best part is the community and the Quaker values.

If you are looking for a small campus, this is the place to go. There are many opportunities to do things other than academics while still thriving in your classes. The professors are all very helpful if you reach out and make the effort to talk to them. You can get a lot out of Guilford if you take the time to put the work in.

As someone that has been to a few college campuses, Guilford seemed to not perpetuate cliques as much as other 4 year schools. People still have their own circles, but they are not as stand-offish and exclusive as they are at other schools. Almost everyone is very friendly, campus is beautiful and the staff is approachable and knowledgable.

Guilford was my "perfect fit". I loved the community, the Quaker values, the relationship built with my teachers, the opportunity to get involved in many areas of campus life, my lifelong friends, the beautiful campus, the small size, the dedication to education and learning how to write.... I'm PROUD to be a Guilfordian! And am happy to give back!

1. Porfessors 2/10: throw vast amounts of material on you without taking responsibility. Some are very rude and yell at you as if you are a 2-year-old.
2. Campus: 0/10: it's very dead and dull.
3. Restrooms: Extremely dirty and have foul smell in all of them.
4. Library: 6/10 : library is actually nice.
5: Computers and Technology: 0/10
