Describe your college in three sentences.

Augusta State is a great college for nearly any student to attend, especially ones who live locally. Other than being convenient to students, ASU provides a multitude of courses anywhere from Ornithology, to Documentary Filmmaking, to Early Renaissance Painting. One of the many advantages to going to this university are the class sizes; a student will never feel neglected by their professor as a result of its impressive student-teacher ratio.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

As long as a student stays on top of their schoolwork, they are guaranteed to succeed. Going to class is one of the easiest, yet most important ways to get good grades. Stay on top of deadlines, try your hardest, and take advantage of the professor's office hours. They are passionate and willing to help you!

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

Augusta State University is well-known for its high-standards English department. Even the introductory courses can be challenging. However writing the best paper you can really builds onto your academic foundation. The instructors at ASU are more than happy to take the time out of their day in order to better you and your work. Also, upper level courses such as Botany and Differential Equations really challenge you and the way you think. Staying motivated and pushing through each course will change the way you think, during and after college life.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Augusta State does not have dorms. Instead they offer a more spacious college living experience at University Village, located not far from main campus. A shuttle comes to pick up residents every fifteen minutes, making it really nice for students who do not own cars. University village offers both two bedroom apartments and four bedrooms. UV is also complete with outdoor swimming pool, game room, computer lab, furnished apartments, volleyball court, clubhouse, putting green, and a 24-hour laundry facility. It is also extremely close to the Augusta mall, dining, and Christenberry Fieldhouse, Augusta State's main athletic complex.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

The food court at Augusta State offers many different restaurants to choose from. Students are offered a variety of places to grab a quick bite to eat in between classes, such as Stacks Deli, Freshens Smoothies, The Arsenal Grille, La Vincita Pizza, and even a Starbucks! Snack and soda machines are also placed all over campus. Not to mention everything is affordable priced!

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

Augusta State University is an absolutely beautiful campus with rigorous courses taught by passionate professors and plenty of resources to take advantage of. Students at Augusta State have access to a three-story library, several computer labs, and even 24-hour access to the main buildings on campus. The experiences you'll have there far exceed the price paid to attend.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

ASU is great for any type of student. Students who like a challenge and are ready to experience college are welcomed by this school. Also students originally from Augusta will love its convenience from home. Overall, Augusta State is for anyone looking for a successful career and future.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

There are over one-hundred student organizations at Augusta State University. Concerts, plays, sororities, fraternities, and access to championship NCAA athletics, you name it! There are plenty of activities to keep you busy in your free time.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

I have never felt unsafe when working on the Augusta State University campus. It is a safe and secure environment that is constantly being patrolled 24-7 by police officers who are armed and have full arrest powers. Also, emergency phones are placed all over campus to ensure the safety of students, especially the ones who attend night classes or decide to stay up late to work on an assignment.
