Review of Gainesville State College

from Cornelia, GA

Describe your college in three sentences.

In many cases, Gainesville State College is quite boring and dull; however, there are a few exceptional professors on campus that go well and above this average dullness. I find that it is the teachers that don't know how to teach that make the school weaker than what it should be. The best way to improve the school is to improve the faculty that teach it.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Always look at rate my professor before joining the class. If you do not, you might not get a good professor and your grades might suffer.

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

The only thing the police on campus seem to worry about is parking violations (which students actually write up the violations) and pets on campus. Though I must admit that one officer asked me whether or not I was homeless one day while I was waiting for my carpool to pick me up. There is not much crime to report, but what violations they do have are mostly petty ones.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

There is no dorm life; however, there is a wonderful apartment nearby (within walking distance) the school that is very pleasant.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

There are only two places where you can eat on campus, and their food is somewhat decent, but if you do not like the food on campus there are many restaurants and fast food places to go to around campus.

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

There are several clubs on campus that should be able to suit your fancy. However, I personally don't know of any that I especially like.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

There is one building on campus near the back that no one ever seems to use, and behind that is the hiking/walking/biking trail that leads to the dorm-like apartments.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

This college is great for the underachievers, as well as those students who are just wanting to achieve cheap basics before going on to a more expensive education.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

There are many clubs on campus, though I do not attend any and therefore can not really say how decent they are.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

I don't believe that Greek life exists on campus.

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

Not many people get hurt on campus, so it is fairly safe. Aside from the young and unexperienced drivers that is.
