Most of the professors and TAs that I had at ASU were very knowledgeable in their field and also held terminal degrees in their fields. Like all colleges, most of the class times were strictly lecture based but many professors gave examples to describe what they were lecturing on and it allowed the student to really apply the knowledge to an everyday applicable field. Many professors have office hours which allow you to visit with your professor to get one on one help with things that you might have had trouble with in class. Also, the school's writing center and math lab are very structured and helpful! The TA's are very knowledgeable in their field and help the students out , if the student has a hard time understanding the professors method of teaching. If you are ready to learn and work hard, this school is for you.
Did enjoy being here
The campus is very small, which means that there are less students than major universities throughout the state. The campus has an historic charm feeling to it as many of the buildings on campus have some significant role from history. The students are very friendly and many know each other through the local highschools that they attended together. I was from a different high school which was over 150 miles away but I still met so many new people and everybody I encountered on campus were very nice, friendly and helpful. Most students become friends in their classes as they help each other throughout the semester. The school offers many different activities that are planned throughout the semester to bring its students together like movies, concerts, events and lectures. Also being in GA's second largest city, there is a lot of concerts and different events held off campus and ASU has the option of purchasing discounted tickets which allow the students to attend these events on a more affordable note.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
The tuition for the school for in state is roughly around 2k per semester which is very affordable compared to other college and universities in the state of GA. The tuition and fees cover everything from parking, events that are held throughout the semester, use of the school's gym and other facilities. For students that have Georgia's HOPE scholarship, it is roughly around $40-200 dollars per semester to attend without books. Textbooks range roughly around $400-700 per semester but the ASU bookstore has a better buy back policy than any other school that I have encountered with its textbooks.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Before applying for admission, it would be a best bet to visit the campus during fall or spring semesters to see if it is a match for you. The school is very small compared to other universities in the state, but isn't crowded due to the small population of students. If you see yourself as a student at ASU, apply as soon as you can, admissions is rolling so you are able to apply even after the application deadline. The admission's office works really fast to give you an answer as soon as possible. If you are applying for University housing, get your application in as soon as possible because housing is limited, but before applying for housing- go check out the housing because for some the apartments are too far from the school and the area for some is not good, even if you don't like the student housing that the school provides, there are many options for housing even right on Walton Way, so it is close to school and covenant to school. Overall it is an excellent school, but many of its students commute to and from school and are from the Augusta- Richmond County area.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
It is an excellent school for a student who is on a budget and cannot afford an expensive school. Also, it is a good school for students that had B averages in high school because it provides a fostering environment for learning and getting used to college life. Also, if you are required to work throughout your collegiate years this is a good school for you because the city of Augusta provides many job opportunities. Also, many ASU students are adult students are returning to school to get a higher degree, start a degree program, almost every class especially in the afternoon will have one or two adult students.
