Review of Georgia State University-Perimeter College
from Duluth, GA
Describe your college in three sentences.
GPC is a great school for non-traditional students. I don't feel like I stick out as a student in my 30s. Also, they offer a [credit] transfer admission guarantee program for when I transfer to my next school to complete my degree.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Get invovled! There are so many different organizations and clubs at GPC, there is bound to be one that fits. Employers take into account how a student is involved as well as academic performance.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
College is hard, any way you slice it. But smaller classes at GPC making learning it a little easier and more personal. It's a lot more realistic to get help from the professor in a class of 30 versus 300.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
No dorms here....
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The college cafe has decent food and there is vending everywhere on campus. I like that the vending machines take cards because I never have cash! :)
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
It is certainly more cost effective to take at least core courses at GPC. They are the same courses a student must and will take at any college, except it's greatly reduced tuition.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Non-traditonal, foreign exchange/transfer, and students that aren't entirely sold on the college route yet. ;)
