Review of Gainesville State College

from Bogart, GA

Describe your college in three sentences.

Gainesville is certainly the best college to look at if you're unsure of a major. It's cheaper and the professor there are just as eager to help you learn. The class sizes are smaller and more intimate, assuring that getting help from a professor would be much easier than a class of 300+ students.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Don't take this school for granted. It isn't the University of Georgia, but it's still a college and no matter how small the class or the amount of work you have to do, you're going to want to do the work. This isn't high school.

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

The classes are the same as any other school. It's not a major University, but that doesn't mean it's classes are going to be easier or on a lower level. The classes here offer the same as what you'll get somewhere else.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

On the Oconee Campus, there are no dorms. I do believe thought that the school does provide a list of apartments within the area for students to stay in.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

Both Oakwood and Oconee campuses are located near sources of food.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

The campus of Oconee is pretty small, but it's very comfortable to find a table outside and study or hang out with friends. Athens is also only a short drive away, which provides an endless amount of fun.

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

I would say that this school is definitely worth the money. I was unsure of what I wanted to do, and I am still on the fence with it all, so I was not willing to pay a large sum of money just to take classes. The tuition is perfect for someone straight out of high school and unsure of what they want to do.

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

I feel very safe on campus. The Oconee campus is already pretty safe, it's in a small town that has a low crime rate. There is always a cop on site and the campus security can always be found and relied on.
