Every path to Guilford is, like the College itself, unique. Here’s what some of our students have to say about why they choose Guilford and their experiences when they got here.
“I really like being a name and not a number at Guilford. I didn’t really see that at first but I do now. A lot of my friends went to big state schools, but there are just as many opportunities for me at a small school like Guilford.”
Viv Cavataio ’28
“Guilford opened me to so many different fields of study I would have never gotten at a bigger school. Seeing and learning those different fields have made me so much more well rounded and versatile.”
Maddi Page ’24
“Guilford gave me opportunities I might never have gotten at a larger school. If you want to join a club, there’s a club for you. If you want to be president of that club – or even Student Body President – you can do that, too. That’s Guilford. It gives you those opportunities.”
Deon McFarland ’24
“So many of my classes at Guilford were discussion based, and I feel like that really gave me more confidence in myself. It’s given me the ability to ask my professors for help when I need it and feel comfortable working with them to learn and do research.”
Kailee Hughes ’24
"I wanted a college environment that was more collaborative and less competitive. Guilford’s smaller, interactive classes where I could work with my classmates and professors made learning more intimate for me. I found community working with my peers.
Aileen Cerda ‘23
“I think a lot of people go to college to learn what it is they want to do. People come to Guilford to learn who they want to be."
