REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingThe Science classes are very though, even for Biology majors, but Armstrong is a great college. I love it here. Most of the teachers are available to help you during office hours and there are a ton of places to get help on campus as well.
Girl from Calhoun, GA
Before coming to Armstrong I was afraid that it would be very hard to adjust to the college life but after attending classes this semester I have found that the professors have made it an easy transition. They have given me a better appreciation for learning and I have learned a lot throughout the time that I have been here.
Courtney from Hephzibah, GA
The professors at Armstrong are incredibly helpful and caring. The classes are small, so not only is there often a lot of in class discussion, but it also makes it easier to get one-on-one time with your professors to ask questions, which they all love to answer. Most of the professors also give very thorough lectures accompanied by PowerPoint presentations projected on the board, which most professors also post online for students to download and reference. With a little bit of studying and good note-taking, any student can succeed here.
Edward Nixon from Savannah, GA
The small classes and personal professors make learning a breeze. You can always ask and you instantly become a part of your class instead of a face in the back of the room.
Jordan from Savannah, GA
small campus that allows freshmen to bring their cars on campus. professors are very friendly and openly encourage for students to come to them for one-on-one time if needed.
a wide variety of degrees are available along with new ones being added often for minors as well as majors.

Lindsey from Pooler, GA
Most of my professors were excellent. A couple spent quite some time one-on-one helping me with assignments. However, I did have one professor who frequently showed up late or not at all.
Savannah, GA
Such a informative school, learning even takes place in the Student Union by all of the fun refreshing activities the sororities, fraternities and other groups or programs provide for students!
Megan from Richmond Hill, GA
The science and math programs are up to par with GA Tech. I chose to attend Armstrong to get a jump start on my classes before transferring. They have a program especially for students who intend to transfer to GA Tech to complete their degree.
Kaitlyn from Savannah, GA
Armstrong is a pretty good school the activities they have around campus are very informational and fun. The beach is just a few minutes away from the campus which is very beautiful. Overall, Armstrong is the perfect school for anyone who is looking for a great education with a little fun.
Chamori from Fort Valley, GA
Armstrong is a great school for getting one on one attention from your professors and it makes it easy to get involved here. Every teacher I have had has been passionate and really enjoys what they teach.
