History
The first college to open its doors within the town of Greensboro was the woman's college, Greensboro Female College. The school occupied a campus near the heart of the city within the College Hill Historic District. The institution had its origin in 1833, when the Greensboro Female College was organized as an institution for local children. It was the intent of Reverend Peter Doub that the institution grow to serve women.
Through the Methodist Church, a charter was secured in 1838, an event which makes it one of the oldest institutions of higher education for women in the United States.
The cornerstone of the first building was laid in 1843, and in 1846 the institution opened its doors to students. Young women came from many southern states to become the first classes of the new president, the Reverend Solomom Lea, and his faculty.

College Advice |
Question: Greensboro College or UNCG?I got accepted to Greensboro College (GC) and I currently attend UNCG - I can't make up my mind - transfer or not? UNCG is so huge that my education is sufferring b/c it's so hard to as a question in my classes because my bio class was almost 200 ppl. GC offers a much closer atmosphere and professors who care - but it's $28k/yr. UNCG gives me BACK money - almost $8k/yr. Should I take the money or not? Keep in mind, I'm $5k in credit card debt b/c I used it to get an apartment last year b/c housing at UNCG is highly limited and parking is brutal. GC is really expensive, but they have an abundance of everything. HELP!!! I CAN'T MAKE UP MY MIND!!!43 months ago
Best AnswerI'd sell the car, go with GC, move somewhere close by campus, get a cheap bicycle from somewhere and live in comfort because I would have the peace of mind that the better grades you're going to get as a resault from the smaller class size is going to bring you better oppertunities. I did it and I am much better off for it and I owed almost next to nothig by the time I got a career (not a job), you know what I mean. A lot of people think it's all about partying but it's not, those days are long over for people that are serious about their education and the rest of their lives. |
