My granddaughter was accepted to Geneva College and Penn State. I prayed and her dad prayed that she would go to Geneva. We were so upset that we could not afford the tuition, room, and board and would have to forsake college altogether. Geneva made it possible for our granddaughter to attend this fall and the cost is now within our means. After seeing the 1 star review about a lady's son being expelled for alcohol possession, I was even more encouraged. What better environment for our precious daughter/granddaughter who has lived a sheltered life for her first 18 years than to be in the environment fostered by Geneva College.
Ironically, her father suffered the same fate at a Christian College in Florida 20 years ago. He was sent home in less than 12 hrs and we still had to pay the remaining tuition for the entire year and he was expelled in October! Oh and he was a senior and the president of his class. He had to sit out for one year and was given the option to return or he could have gone elsewhere that same October. He chose to return in disgrace and complete his senior year the following fall. His infraction would have had no penalty whatsoever in a secular college environment. He learned a very hard lesson and was the better for it. We too felt the sting of his poor choices. But, we knew that his punishment needed to be swift and decisive. And now he has chosen to send his precious daughter to a Christian college. I thank the parent who gave Geneva the one star rating because it gave us a better picture of what they stand for than any of the 5...
Read moreI was a student at Geneva back from 1996-1999. In 1996 and 1997, I got $2000 in Perkins Loans from them. In 2022, I went to go back for my MBA and it said ai had a loan in default and to call Geneva. I called and left multiple messages with them from November 2022 until January of 2023. Finally, in January of 2023 I got ahold of the lady that does the Perkins loans at Geneva. She said I did not have any loans with them so she was not sure why it said I was in default. She told me she would look into it and get back to me by the end of the next day. Well, she didn’t and I started leaving messages again. Finally in February of 2023 she got back to me and said she found the problem. My loan was put under someone else’s name, social security number and date of birth. That is why I did not know I had it anymore. This is 25 years later. This lady kept giving me the run around, Geneva has now sold this loan, in August of 2023. I have called her multiple times and sent emails. So now, I have to pay this $2000 loan, which is fine because its mine but I also have to pay $2600 in interest charges and there is nothing I can do. This loan would have been paid in time if they did not mess up and pit it under someone else. You would think a Christian college would work with you and at least answer your emails or phone calls. I do not recommend you going there or sending your kids. I regret giving any money to...
Read moreVery Racist institution! 3/4 black students leave within the first two semesters and garunteed 2-3 will be on campus after because schoools encouragement and silence on racist actions against students by faculty and racist actions against students by other close minded students.
Program to help black students Multi Cultural Student Union was disbanded and those funds to help were redistributed into the school. This cut out book money and other vital things we needed and cut out the representation of black students.
I, an athlete was assulted by both Assistant Head Coach Alan Bauman and Head Coach at the time Jeff Santasero mid game. The next day without any consultation I was removed from the team and there started a trail!! A TRAIL of racism until I eventually was FORCED, and put in a position where I feared my life, vs the fight for my education.
As well my freshman year I played football, they do NOT play there black players, only when it is convenient. Actually. The football team just doesn't like young kids with skill. Coach Demarkco is a good guy however.
I stayed at Geneva for two years before I, like others could not take it any more because the administration largely impart was behind the coaches, and students. I was black bald into a situation, to deep for a review, DO NOT GO DO NOT FUND.
Campus was for the most part safe though. AND NOT EVERY KID WAS BAD, JUST...
