Gabriel from Snellville, GA
Many presume that Georgia Gwinnett College is an easy A school where one can just fly by and still maintain a 4.0. I'm sorry to sat this, but its not. Georgia Gwinnett College is a challenging school and, though it may not seem so as you attend, it prepares you for if you ever want to transfer or for when you get out in the real world. The teachers are always available for questions and concerns, which I love and they always try their best to break it down. With the exception of a few professors, they make sure that you fully understand all the material, which I have greatly appreciated. All you have to do is ask the question! College, in general, has opened me up to a whole new viewpoint and broadened my scope, but if you like small, intimate class rooms of 5 to 30 people, Georgia Gwinnett College is your perfect choice!
Atiya from Lawrenceville, GA
Most of the faculty (if not all) have their PhDs and a lot of experience. You definitely learn a lot. Even if you do not understand some of the material, the professors are always willing to help. The school even supplied the professors with cell-phones just so that the students can contact them easily. One of my professors actually encouraged text messaging questions to their cell phones. The classes at GGC are all challenging and professors definitely won't hand out grades. This shouldn't discourage anyone, though. GGC has a special tutoring center that always has professor there to help with any subject. They will also review essays and help revise them.
Lauren from Buford, GA
All of the professors are amazing and so intelligent! They have an open-door policy, so I can drop by and chat with any of the professors at any time. They are willing to help me when I have questions, and my success is their top priority.

Sojerta from Winder, GA
The teachers at Georgia Gwinnett College were very loyal when it came to us and our needs. They even gave out their cell phone numbers so we could call or text them if we needed help with an assignment.
Aleshia from Riverdale, GA
Georgia Gwinnett College is a growing school that gives you the experience of university life without the hefty price tag. The students here are very diverse which helps to showcase many different cultures around campus. New students will find the campus to fit them if they prefer smaller classrooms and smaller walks to classes, many campus events, an assortment of clubs, and school that cares about them.
Molly from Lawrenceville, GA
GGC is a small school, which is good for student who want to have one-to-one time with the professors.
The institution is a great place for students who seek transfer to other schools.
Faculty seems to be committed to the students education and welfare.

Darryl from Lawrenceville, GA
Georgia Gwinnett College, home of the Grizzlies, has been an amazing experience. I originally wanted to go to the big state institutions and universities, but coming here was my blessing in disguise, because with its small beginning came great opportunities. That is why everyday I am thankful my friend told me to put in my application in the middle of yearbook class in my senior year of high school
Ketsia from Auburn, GA
I am really learning a lot from Georgia Gwinnett College. The atmosphere is great and so are the teachers.
