So far, the Professors that I have had have been very well informed in their fields. I did however have an Econ Professor who was Korean and still speaks some broken English haha. He was still a great teacher and I learned a lot in his class. All of the teachers love their students and will do anything to help. They are very reachable and involved with their students aswell so you are always able to ask questions and meet with them outside of class.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I attend the Oconee campus GSC and the college creates a very friendly atmosphere for its students. From couches in the hallways to the Cafe : Ine coffee shop in the main building. I always feel comfortable kicking back and studying, watching TV, or just hanging out with my friends. Be careful of the campus police though! They're very friendly, but they'll get you if you do something out of line.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
For the price that I am paying per year, I could only receive half the classes at a larger University like UGA. And being at Gainesville allows you access to everything in the University System of Georgia like the UGA library, which is a great resource. Also, many of the teachers at Gainesville have taught, or graduated from UGA. It is definitely more bang for the buck at Gainesville State College.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
If you are planning on attending GSC, make sure that you turn all of your paperwork in on time or early. Being a small college, they have limited staff and have a lot of work concerning Financial Aid and scholarships so it takes a little time for them to get everything done. The best advice I can give is DONT PROCRASTINATE ON FINANCIAL AID DEADLINES.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Students who prefer smaller class sizes and do better with the teacher interacting with the class will love Gainesville State College, at least the Oconee Campus. Here the classes are small and the Teacher knows you by name. If you feel that you would enjoy the larger, auditorium style classes, unfortunately GSC Oconee campus doesn't have any of those but I'm not sure about the Oakwood campus. But this was definitely a deciding factor for me when choosing the Gainesville Oconee campus.
