Read What Students Are SayingI have never been exposed to so much information in one academic year! Because of the distributional requirements you are exposed to a multitude of subjects and you learn a little bit of everything. My first year, I took classes in History, Biology, Math, Spanish, English, and Political Science. All the professors really know their subjects and are excited to teach. Its impossible to not learn something interesting everyday!
Kristina from Thonotosassa, FL
Its a perfect school if your dedicated student. Its a perfect school for students that are interested in sciences. Its also a beautiful and very helpful campus.
Ashley from Decatur, GA
This college is academically challenging in a positive way. The sense of community is strong on campus. The professor-to-student ratio is great, and the learning center is very helpful.
Alexis
Aesthetically Agnes Scott is like being transported to Hogwarts.
The professors, staff, and other students are always willing to work with you and happy to do so.
The tuition isn't cheap, but financial aid will do everything possible to work with you to get you here and keep you here.

Brianna from Decatur, Georgia
A college that is accepting of students from every background possibly imaginable. The possibilities are endless for what you want to study with classes that include a variety of interests and programs allowing students to create their own majors if they want more than what Agnes Scott offers. With a beautiful campus and a close proximity to Atlanta, Agnes Scott packs a lot of punch for a small school.
Catherine
The first-year seminars are very informative. I never thought I would look at food this way. There are a lot of different FYS topics offered for first-years in order to expand the way we think and promote the way we write. The wide range of classes offered is just amazing. All of the professors are nice, and the workload is never too much.
Kimberly from Marietta, GA
this school has a diverse student body and diverse fields of study. the class size is small, so you have easy access to your professors. all in all, the school has a friendly, open feel to it.
Alexaundra from Roswell, GA
Agnes is a very strong academic school for women. A beautiful campus with very friendly people. Everyone helps each other and all you have to do is ask.
Alexandra from Homestead, FL
