Student Reviews
Bullet Academics (In Brief)
Anonymous rated 5 out of 5 stars
Gettysburg College's academics were quite good! There were ample, flexible research opportunities in my fields of study. The smaller class sizes at the college helped me build rapport with my professors that extended beyond the classroom.
