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.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Come to Agnes! I had many public large colleges on my lists and talking to my friends who went to them, I am getting so much more out of my education. You aren't just a number or a paycheck here at Agnes. Your professors will know your name and they care about you. If they notice you missing a lot of classes, they will email you to make sure you are feeling well or offer to extend deadlines if you are sick. Within my first semester on campus, I was already talking about internships and my future with advisers and professors. If you want to come to Agnes, there is a way you can make the payments.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Academically, Agnes is not for the lazy. You will have hard classes, but you will learn so much. The courses are challenging, but most definitely manageable!
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Dorms are cleaned frequently. They are a lot better than most colleges I visited, but it is still a college dorm.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
If you leave Evans dining hall hungry, you must be crazy. There is food for all types of dietary restrictions and it tastes better than any college food I have ever seen. Even when Evans is closed you can go to Mollie's cafe which has burgers, fries, wraps, and whatever veggies you want on them.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There is always something going on at Agnes. There are so many clubs on campus that there is always somewhere to be (usually with free food). Also, being located so close to Atlanta and having accessible public transportation, you can easily go to a Braves game or the aquarium.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
It may not be cheap, but the personalized and competitive academics will get you ahead. There are so many study abroad and internship opportunities. An Agnes education is exactly whatever you put into it.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Black Cat is our homecoming week that has everything from plays mocking Agnes, dance competitions, rushing the quad (literally throwing colorful trash all over the quad), a bonfire where you dress up as your class mascot, and a formal.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Everyone. There is very little discrimination. All races and sexual identities are accepted and loved.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There are clubs for everything and everyone has an opportunity to start a club or get a leadership position in an existing one. IF you have an interest, there is probably a club.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
We do not have greek life.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Public Safety on our campus are actual police officers. They are friendly and always helpful. If you need a ride back from Marta (the subway) at midnight and don't want to walk in the dark, they will come pick you up. They make you feel even more safe on a nearly crime free campus. As you are at Agnes, you will get to know the public safety officers personally and they genuinely care about Agnes students and our safety.
