Gordon College

A liberal arts Christian college on the North Shore of Massachusetts. Wenham mass to be exact. Located minutes from the beautiful beaches of Gloucester and Manchester By The Sea and historic Beverly and Salem. The campus is walkable and breath taking. A great educational experience.

Great spot for planes potting. Was the best experience of my life here. Well I only visited for a few hours for a graduation of one of my family members. May 2018 shortly after a trip to florida.

Gordon College is the premier liberal arts school with a faith-based focus. The sleepy campus is quiet and peaceful aside Coy Pond and 400 acres of its own property. The academic experience presents and rich and vigorous college milieu for its students, with challenging faculty, engaged students, and a supportive community. I had the good fortune of attending the drama department’s production of Moliere’s The Miser, a French Renaissance comedy that the team had prepared expertly and with improvised call outs to contemporary culture. Very smart, and very well done. Finally, the college’s supportive alumni base makes possible innovative programs in entrepreneurship and similar new fields. Through these efforts, the college maintains its mission to be a force of healing.

Beautiful place... Great College

As an alum, parent, & now faculty member, I consider Gordon as an incredibly special place. The people here learn to love learning, each other, God, and the world. I have taught at five different colleges and several professional associations. And in my judgment, Gordon ranks among the best of the best. It’s true Gordon and all schools like it face a huge number of challenges. Welcome to the real world!

I graduated from Gordon College back in 1989, and at that time the school did not allow dancing on campus, loud rock music, or visiting students of the opposite sex without having our dorm room door open. These were some of the rules we understood and agreed to when we went there as students. The core of the school is its Christian values and the steady adherence to Scripture as its guiding light founded as a missionary school by A.J. Gordon. I loved learning about the God of the Old Testament and what the New Testament means for Christians who follow Jesus Christ as their personal Savior.
For me, the Christian aspect of the school was what drew me there and that was what I relied on to get me through to graduation. My experience was one of academic learning while drawing closer to God and the knowledge of Jesus Christ's presence in my life. Although Gordon excels as a Christian liberal arts school teaching Science, Math, Political Studies, Bible, etc., it does so with the understanding that God's Spirit has been the omnipresent power in shaping history. I felt comfortable on campus although I was one of a handful of minority students on campus at the time. I had the privilege of studying there and recently visited for my 25 year reunion. I did see the controversy revolving the school in the school Tartan newspaper and I had been reading the developments in the Boston Globe. Personally I feel the school should continue to rely on its Christian tradition, while letting the faculty assist in bringing about a more harmonious outcome that respects the principles on which the school was founded. Its freedom to follow its religious morals of conduct and values should be respected and at the same time not be negatively criticized for it. People may feel the need for change of the schools policies, but some sense of living a life worthy of Christ's calling is best experienced at a place where true Christian fellowship abounds. If the school's faculty trusts in God's will, not led due to the pressures of social norms, then the school will progress in its founder's tried and true message to spread the good news of the Gospel within its community of faith and beyond. I had a good experience of love and acceptance there.

Graduated 1996. Lots of new buildings. Still has the quad and Frost Hall.

Any reviews claiming that the students here are "rich brats" or "bigoted" are ABSOLUTELY false. Gordon is a diverse school, filled with young men and women who have integrity. We have a large pool of International students as well as students who come from middle and lower class backgrounds like myself. Our school does have a traditional view on LGBTQ people, but we don't hate them. You can't make a baseless claim that students are "racists" or "spoiled" when you haven't even stepped foot on Gordon's beautiful campus. EVERYONE IS CREATED EQUAL UNDER GOD... PERIOD!

With regard to their Biblical stand:they have followed "reach out and resist," meaning: reach out to the homosexual community with compassion; resist gay activism with courage. They stood on their religious convictions, based on the Word of God. May this college and their board be strengthened and blessed for loving people enough to tell the truth.

Only people who have attended and graduated from Gordon College should comment. Those that did and do not like its long standing policies based on longer standing Christian beliefs based on the eternal Word of God I say, nuts.

Don't listen to the sell out naysayers. Gordon is great.

Great school. Beautiful campus. Lots of new state of the art buildings. A top notch education in a small country town close to Boston!

A beautiful campus, a faculty that loves the Lord and a wonderful president, Dr. Michael Lindsay, at the helm. We're very happy with our choice!

I'm a freshman here, and I love it! The campus is beautiful, there is a constant positive atmosphere, the academics are worthwhile, and the room and board are good.

My son and I were on the trails behind the school and we loved them. My wife and her siblings went to Gordon and they loved it said it was an amazing experience

Love this college. I have used their library. I pass by it on my bike tours frequently. Beautiful campus, nice people.

Lovely campus to be a part of. Good Atmosphere among students.

Gorgeous campus with ponds and a lake, trails and wooded areas. Great location near North Shore of Boston!

Beautiful campus year-round. Nice trails behind the campus with a pond you can swim in.

Excellent experience, prepared me for advanced degrees. Masters at Tufts university (1983) and Doctorate degree at Boston university(1980).

An amazing school breathtaking views, professional and friendly faculty.
