Student Life
Campus life
Walk through GC and you might hear students playing video games in the Piano Room or see a fraternity dance off in the Pit. Head upstairs to grab a coffee in the Barnes & Nobles bookstore or visit the student newsroom and radio station. It's different every day at GC, so stop by. But don't step on the university seal at the entrance – it's bad luck.
Sports facilities
Sport Clubs are organizations created and run by students who seek instruction, recreation, competition and socialization in sports activities at levels typically not provided through recreation, physical education classes or intercollegiate athletics.

I don't like that much they don't explain anything and you can't participate in much
Great Professors, great experience.
Anonymous rated 5 out of 5 stars
I very much enjoyed studying at the Chaplin School of Hospitality. After transferring from a different college, specifically to study Hospitality, I really liked the hands on nature of the program. The Professors were all extremely helpful and wanted students to succeed.
