Guilford College

"Guilford is an amazing place with a bucolic campus, active student government, social justice focus, great academics, and wonderful student community. I am proud to have graduated from there and they prepared me for the life I am now living as an entrepreneur, clinician and meditation teacher. They taught me how to write well, how to think clearly, and how to care for others. I could not be happier with my college experience at Guilford."

"Utterly disappointed at the lack of accountability of addressing racism to opposing teams to the student body. Especially in this day in time. VSU women’s soccer team deserves more than an apology."

"Great place to get an education and I feel very fortunate that I attended here. Classes are smaller, the professor's I had here were great, and the campus is beautiful. If you're older then the adult education program is perfect for getting you're college degree while fitting to your work schedule. The parking situation is also perfect compared to most other colleges. One other standout is the excellent library. Don't rule out Guilford because you've never heard of them. It's a great school period."

"Guilford College was a fantastic experience for me and a life changing experience. I received what I feel was the best liberal arts foundation and education in my major I could get. The school is tight nit and people know each other from students to staff. The atmosphere is very progressive and "family" like. The time there I did not only "learn" my courses, but my mind was opened to life in a wider world view. I looked at the world and problems differently. I learned to think critically, to analyze, to be logical and to approach the problems of inequality, for example, by not just individual charity, but by structural change in society. Psychological change in how people perceive liberty, "wealth", and freedom. The whole American myth of oppression and opportunity and then the 'Me" concept is so rampant the country is devolving and students are losing site of these ideals because student loans are driving them to the private sector, where creativity is crushed and debt is making them robotic. Now have PhD in Psychology [although told I would never even make through a MA] and a PhD in Philosophy."

"I was attracted to Guilford College because of its Peace and Conflict Studies degree as well as the small, close-knit community, beautiful campus, and absence of Greek life. Guilford was such a life-changing place that I can't even imagine what my life would have been like if I'd chosen a different school. The professors are top-notch and they actually care about you and whether you show up for class or turn in your homework and I knew I needed that kind of personalized attention to succeed academically. What truly makes Guilford great are the people. The friends I made while I was a student will be with me for the rest of my life and I keep in regular contact with them even though it's been almost 10 years since we graduated. People do really try to live up to the core values of community, diversity, equality, excellence, integrity, justice, and stewardship."
