Dalton State College is a financially affordable college with great majors to choose from. This college is growing into a two-year school to a four-year school with more and more degrees to choose from. I would give Dalton State an 8 out of 10.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
My tip for prospective students is to use the resources on campus as much as you can. The staff here will help you any time you need help, which gives you no reason to make a great grade in your courses. Every teacher here wants to help you succeed, which is what has made my experience here a valuable one.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Many people I talked to in High School about what college to attend said negative things about Dalton State, which made me think twice about coming here. This is a very tough school and teachers do not just hand out grades. The programs here are very tough and get you well prepared for your future career. You must make good grades and achieve high scores on entrance exams to be accepted into Dalton States programs. They only want top students who they know will study hard and succeed in the program to achieve a rewarding career. If you are looking for a college to breeze through, Dalton State is not the place for you.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Dalton State recently opened up dorms for their students. The dorms here on campus are old apartment complexes, which I have heard are actually very nice. There are not many, so you must register for a room early. With more and more athletics and out of town students coming to college here, more dorms will be coming to campus within the next two years.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The food here at Dalton State is very good. The cafeteria is called the Roadrunner Cafe. We get our food from the Oakwood Cafe, which is an excellent restaurant in downtown Dalton. The prices are also reasonable, which is good for a broke college student! We do not have seats in the cafeteria to eat, but many students sit outside at the tables when the weather is nice, or sit inside in the pope student center, where the cafeteria is located. There are tables to sit at and even couches.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Although the city of Dalton does not have many fun things to do, there are always activities to be involved in at Dalton State. During the summer, we take trips to the Ocoee River to go river rafting. We also take trips to Ruby Falls and Rock City in Chattanooga, Tn. There are always fun trips going on and you can go for a very cheap price! My favorite thing to be apart of are the FREE yoga classes on campus. We are offered many free workout sessions which are always a fun way to meet new people and become involved.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Dalton State College is known for being one of the cheapest colleges in the country. You are offered financial aid which makes it even more affordable. I feel like I am getting the best bank for the buck. I am involved in a great school that is getting me well prepared for my career for a very cheap price! What more can a broke college student ask for?
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Dalton State has recently started a couple of sororities, which many people have become interested in. Each program of study here has there own club, which is a great way to meet new people in the field you are studying.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Everywhere you go on campus are cops patrolling, which makes me feel safe. Safety has always been a big concern for me from all the recent school shootings. Its nice to know we are being so well watched over by the campus safety.
