If you go to GCU there are a few things you are likely to know.

First of all, there is a LOT of school pride. From the Havocs going all out for Basketball games to the events during welcome week, there is never a dull moment. Grand Canyon University is one of a kind.

However, being a Lope means you might just catch yourself saying these things on a regular basis.

1. "Let's get Chik-Fil-A."

Everyone on campus is well aware that this place is one of the most popular and has a line that moves pretty quick. But be careful not to walk across campus on a Sunday just to find out that it is NOT open.

2. "Are you going to chapel/church/life group?"

There is no harm in accompanying someone to their life group or church. This aspect of GCU is so unique and could help students get connected and form some strong friendships.

3. "Yes, my school does have a lot of commercials."

There really are quite a few commercials. In the Phoenix area, you have probably seen multiple billboards representing our school as well.

4. "Hey, I like your Birks."

Yes, it's a norm to own these shoes on our Campus. Pair them with some socks or throw them on and let your toes be out in the open, the opportunities are endless my friend.

5. "I wonder if they'll ever pave Colter."

The dusty cars and long walks to the garage are one of a kind. GCU is known for its immense amounts of construction but the students are all waiting on one necessary change... PAVE COLTER.

6. "I have to do my DQ."

Whether you are a Freshman or a Senior, you probably have a discussion question due any day.

7. "Lopes up!"

If you haven't heard this or said this yourself then you definitely do not go to GCU.

8. "Let's get Dutch.

Dutch Bros. is great for a pick me up or a late night snack. Also, you will most definitely find the nicest employees ever at this place.

9. "It's hot."

For anyone else who has ever gotten sunburnt on their way to class, you are not alone. The heat is no joke here in Phoenix.

10. "Grand Construction University..."

The school did not earn its nickname for no reason. There is ALWAYS construction happening on campus. You hear this name for the school floating about because you see a building go up in about 7 minutes.

GCU is one of a kind. This place is sure to make you feel right at home (even if you are sweating while walking to class). Get your Chik-Fil-A, go to Chapel, and try not to park in Colter, life is grand here.
