I'm an Online Student and I love it. I can work while going to school. Stay home where my family is. Not have to pay for dining, room, and board. ETC... LOVE IT.
Hi guys I just joined your online group and I am feeling lost 😔! Getting use to the whole online portal! Do I guys have any August things to make things easier for online classes..?
Thank you! I'll be a Freshman next year and I am stoked to know about these things. I had no idea about the food being mostly fast food. I'll be majoring in dance and fast food isn't always the best when dancing. So thank you for helping me be able to prepare for food and think about how I will be eating. You're awesome!
I got accepted to Grand Canyon university but I have seen so many barb reviews and videos saying the school is a scam and am rethinking this damn school
I am also an online student full time I’m here in Texas born and raised I absolutely love your video I made me feel like I’m actually involved. The pros for me being an online student is being able to be a wife mom & work. But GCU is my home for the next four years so I wanted to do some homework on feeling a bit more involved as if I was actually there.. & I love love chick-fil- a too your amazing thank you for the video! I feel I love with GCU online learning because it gives me the opportunity to for success for my future career. Blessings, ❤
You should make another video listing reasons what made you choose gcu .... Perhaps another one talking about misconceptions and lastly another video listing things you were told to be true/amazing but ended up being not true..... Love this video btw....
I originally wanted to come to GCU, I went to Discover GCU and fell in love with the campus. I am from Kentucky but I ended up going to a school in Tennessee. The community bathrooms do suck lol, we had 30-40 girls per floor sharing 3-6 stalls and 4-5 showers. We had 3 washers for the whole dorm which was over 100 girls.. The dorms were built in the 19 hundreds so they were very old, we did have a cafeteria but it was worse than high school food it was pretty bad. The student population of the school was around 1,800 and in my English class we had about 10 students lol. When you said less than 100 students I was like wow! That place is huge! Lol
Hey! I loved your videos! I’ve been planning on going and just binged watched all kinds of GCU videos!! I’m also thinking of starting CZcams, besides doing a what to bring and what not to bring video can you do CZcams + College video?
When I attended GCU they did have a cafeteria and far less fast food options. The problem was everyone was going to the fast food restaurants and hardly anyone went to the cafeteria. So they decided to get rid of it to make room for more restaurants. But I really liked the cafeteria because they had lots of options. Waffles and eggs for breakfast.
I graduated from GCU in spring 2018. I guess it's appropriate I recap my experience. This I can say for sure the campus looked completely different when I first arrived in fall 2014. Heck the grove dorms were still under construction in my second semester. Oh and the area where the engineering building is now as a bunch of trailers in 2014. Overall I'd say my freshmen year was my favorite of all, it was due in large part to the fact that my roommates went from being complete strangers to being best friends pretty much overnight, and not just my roommates but everyone on our floor, the RA's included got pretty close together. The major I chose was Graphic Design with Emphasis on Animation, which was in the Colter building, I think it has since switched place with the college of business. I just really wanted to take my passion for art and music to the next level. Additionally I got pretty close with the people in my major classes and even now the people I met at GCU I still keep in touch with. I had my down lows in my Jr, and Sr. years but I did pull through and graduate with a 3.34 GPA. GCU's student union interestingly "used" to be a full cafeteria", the habit, slice and the other two places didn't go in until I was in my sophomore year (2015-2016). I may go ahead and make a video like this discussing my experience.
The activities that happen on campus are not free. There’s an activity fee included in our tuition and even if you don’t attend these events, you’re still paying for it. Do your research if you’re planning on coming to gcu, especially if you’re tight on money because this school is definitely not cheap. Nice video👌🏽
I want to go to GCU so bad bc I fell in love with the campus over 2 years ago when I graduated. But I haven’t even attended community college or anything. And I have no money and I’m very very horrified of student debt.
I’m an Online graduate with my BSPsy and I love GCU#LopesUp!! I never had any problems with them. Thanks for sharing your opinion about the campus. It’s helpful with everyone who is looking into college campuses. Best of luck in your endeavors 🙂!
I think slices is now Grand Canyon Pizza Co, and I think Auntie Anne's is gone. The restaurants (Purple Greens & Arena Cafe) in Arena are the chepest. In summer, only CFA (Lope Way) & QDOBA are open in summer.
If you are living in an apartment not residence halls, is there a big grocery store in walking distance to get groceries to cook in the kitchens? I’m an international graduate student looking to go to GCU - I will not have a car but will be looking to live in apartments. I know on campus grocery stores are really expensive and limited so looking for other places like target, Walmart, etc
Is this a fun school, I mean of course education is important but honestly speaking, college is the time to explore and find yourself. I don’t wanna be bored in college, are there parties ?
I was literally down there the same day during spring break to tour the college😂 I’m from Arkansas, about to be a senior in School! I can’t wait to come to this school I’m so excited😊 an this video was very helpful!!!
I feel like the cons are just your preferences and not wanting to follow the rules. The school is responsible for your education, other than you can do groceries and buy the food you want. Having the opposite sex in the room can put other girls in danger! so renting your own apartment will be a perfect way to live a free life with no rules.
WAIT WAS THATT A GHOST. ABOVE YOUR HEAD?? AT 15:00 through 15:002. its like a white misty shadow that slide from mid screen to right of the screen then disappeared.
How would they find like vapes or whatever in your room? Do they check your room??! Also how would they even know you had the opposite sex in your room? Like whose checking up on you
No but if they suspect you have one they can look. Also the fire alarms are very sensitive so if you vape/juul it’ll go off. Your hall mates could snitch or somethings when the RAs are walking by they can stop and listen at the door. But in reality ppl get away with all of this so it’s honestly just luck 🤷🏽♀️
Also are there hair salons nearby? I know it’s probably not the best question to ask but that is one of my concerns. Can’t go to college looking a mess😂
it really depends on you. If you have the money to live off-campus then I would. However, living on campus is not really that bad. So you just have to way your options!
Wait a minute I’ve been subbed to you for a minute… and I had no clue you went there! I was there 2015.. def didn’t like it i transferred out and now have my masters lol! It’s cool campus life is cool great food but they prey on high school students..
I want to go to GCU but I will be long distance with my boyfriend who would fly to visit me. Does anybody know if there’s any way this can be allowed? Would I have to get an apartment?
I'm an Online Student and I love it. I can work while going to school. Stay home where my family is. Not have to pay for dining, room, and board. ETC... LOVE IT.
Same!
Same here!
I agree
I'm looking into online too
Hi guys I just joined your online group and I am feeling lost 😔! Getting use to the whole online portal! Do I guys have any August things to make things easier for online classes..?
This is so helpful. The way you described the campus feeling through all this is super impactful for my decisions. Thank you!
Thank you! I'll be a Freshman next year and I am stoked to know about these things. I had no idea about the food being mostly fast food. I'll be majoring in dance and fast food isn't always the best when dancing. So thank you for helping me be able to prepare for food and think about how I will be eating. You're awesome!

Julien Alexander yeah but it’s a really bad school
Isabella Rose Perez. umm how?
@@jvncie8779 how?
@@jvncie8779 5 Months later How? Doing research on what future Uni to go to.
@@jvncie8779 gonna have to disagree with you there
Thank you so much for making this video!!
Do you think it’s worth going?? is the accredited legit? That’s all that really matters to me. Thanks for this video!!!
I want to go to GCU so bad bc I fell in love with the campus over 2 years ago when I graduated. But I haven’t even attended community college or anything. And I have no money and I’m very very horrified of student debt.
I will be attending in the fall can you make a video of what to bring and what not to bring
Makenna Layne I also will be attending in the fall I'm transferring from online
Alyna Edwards maybe we can hangout
I’m attending in the fall too!
I’m an Online graduate with my BSPsy and I love GCU#LopesUp!! I never had any problems with them. Thanks for sharing your opinion about the campus. It’s helpful with everyone who is looking into college campuses. Best of luck in your endeavors 🙂!
I'm attending GCU for the fall of 2019, lowkey can't wait

Love this video!!! Thanks so much
Honestly the only downside of the dining options imo is the hours. There actually not a bad variety and pretty good places to eat
Is this a fun school, I mean of course education is important but honestly speaking, college is the time to explore and find yourself. I don’t wanna be bored in college, are there parties ?
Would you recommend someone out of state?
I'm currently a senior in high-school graduating on June 5th soon to attend GCU and I'm nervous to take the trip from California to Arizona
It’s a Christian college so it isn’t unusual that you can’t have the opposite sex in the room, alcohol, or vapes.
Great school!!! I did my BA in Christian Ministry online and now I am doing Master of Divinity also online. Professors are so AMAZING!!!
I’m taking my SATs in June and I was thinking of coming here
Is there any dorms where you can live by youself ?
Girl you are so stunning
Is campus noisy at night? Is that 90 degree rule for apartments as well?
Can you get an apartment as a freshman?
I really liked this school when i went but it was too far for me and i guess i was scared of that cuz i live in LA. I really liked that school.
Have you gone to gcu? And I live in la would it be a good option to move out there
So since the cafeteria sucks, are you paying a lot for dining? Is there availability in the dorms to make your own food?
No. There is only a sink in the dorms and you’re only allowed to have a microwave and a coffee maker.
Does gcu require two years of a foreign language?
I was literally down there the same day during spring break to tour the college😂 I’m from Arkansas, about to be a senior in School! I can’t wait to come to this school I’m so excited😊 an this video was very helpful!!!
What is the weather like?
Do you think education wise its a good school that will set you up for success?
Yes!
Omg okay good lol I’m going there next year and I was worried ab the teaching staff being good!
Question can you order things online to your dorm and what if your leagel drinking age can you have it?
you can order things online but you have to pick it up at the mail center. There is no alcohol allowed on campus, no matter your age.
I feel like the cons are just your preferences and not wanting to follow the rules. The school is responsible for your education, other than you can do groceries and buy the food you want. Having the opposite sex in the room can put other girls in danger! so renting your own apartment will be a perfect way to live a free life with no rules.
I got accepted here, so now I’m making sure it’s a right choice eyes
Don Nguyen same I’m nervous
i got accepted here for next year, nice school. going to visit it on the overnight trip they offer
Rock Lee lmk my email is dnn.corps@gmail.com
Rock Lee lmk how that goes, i got accepted too :)
@@chamirralowe486 will do, going on that visit next month!
ben shapiro at GCU Really big crowd
does the 90 degree rule apply for the apartments too?
I've heard that it does but ppl say it is not enforced and that the RAs don't care.
I think it seems straight I currently go online and want to go to campus
How do they treat athletes?
As a student, do you always eat out or can you cook or something?
Living in the dorms you mostly eat out especially since you do not have a kitchen and only a microwave!
Kiara Bell omg there’s no kitchens?!?!
TheWildBoobert if you’re in one of the apartments then there is a kitchen
I
They don’t have dining options? That’s strange.
Over all are u happy with the school is it easy to make friends there
WAIT WAS THATT A GHOST. ABOVE YOUR HEAD?? AT 15:00 through 15:002. its like a white misty shadow that slide from mid screen to right of the screen then disappeared.
lol no I just watched it over. There is a busy road outside the window I was sitting in front of!!
Im watching these vids after being murdered by the ads
Is this college accredited? That's all I wanna know
Hotboytrue yes it is
Hotboytrue yes
So theres no kitchen for you to cook if you get food stamps?
kalana sawyer not in the dorms but there are in apartments
do you have to wear a uniform for this college since it’s private?
no
How would they find like vapes or whatever in your room? Do they check your room??! Also how would they even know you had the opposite sex in your room? Like whose checking up on you
No but if they suspect you have one they can look. Also the fire alarms are very sensitive so if you vape/juul it’ll go off. Your hall mates could snitch or somethings when the RAs are walking by they can stop and listen at the door. But in reality ppl get away with all of this so it’s honestly just luck 🤷🏽♀️
Do the dorm halls have ice machines?
no
Also are there hair salons nearby? I know it’s probably not the best question to ask but that is one of my concerns. Can’t go to college looking a mess😂
Lol I’m not sure about regular hair salons but I know there’s a African braiding salon a couple miles down the road!
I’ll be coming to school down there and I do hair 😀
Its A SUNI World hi I’m also going there in the fall too
Is your camera person smoking?
if i were a freshman at gcu would you recommend living on campus or an apartment near by?
it really depends on you. If you have the money to live off-campus then I would. However, living on campus is not really that bad. So you just have to way your options!
@@KiaraBell00 I’m planning to transfer there for Fall 2021. And I wonder how expensive is to live in campus per semester? 🦦. Thank you!
@@SebastianLopezRamirez like $15,000
$15 k living by yourself of with other students? 🦦
Wait a minute I’ve been subbed to you for a minute… and I had no clue you went there! I was there 2015.. def didn’t like it i transferred out and now have my masters lol! It’s cool campus life is cool great food but they prey on high school students..
Thank you for sharing
i want to go their and play baseball
My sister goes there
So true! I love it! They need more black people
I love your voice
Is it too expensive?
Yes, unless you have a full ride after high school, if not, get ready to pay loans
sounds like an university of phoenix type of shit
Is this school diverse? it seems like it’s pre dominantly white
No it is a pwi
tbh i was fine with all cons until you hit me with the 90 degree rule😭 thats tufffff
wow both of our names are Kiara and we both go to GCU haha
whats an ra?
It’s a resident assistant that lives on the same hall as you.
Every black girl I saw there was alone! They looked lonely.
I want to go to GCU but I will be long distance with my boyfriend who would fly to visit me. Does anybody know if there’s any way this can be allowed? Would I have to get an apartment?
GCU has their own hotel
the 90 degree rule honestly sounds fuckin barbaric like what???
A lot of the “cons” stuff is hella inaccurate
Well, if you have the correct info, Mr. Clever, then share it.
If one is to make comments in public know the facts. Don't just assume like this girl.
Not assuming but thanks for watching!
Er...recounting lived experience is not 'assuming'
