Review of Gordon State College

from McDonough, GA

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

Gordon is a good start for students right out of high school, usually first year freshman go crazy when they move to college, but gordon is not a huge party school so it is easier to focus on academics. the class sizes are small and the professors are personal with each student. unlike most colleges, the professors at gordon learn each and every students name, academic tendencies, study skills, etc.. and use this as a way to personally help each person to suceed.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

I enjoy the size of the school and the location, but it is pretty easy (atleast the first year) i like something a bit harder; therefor, i am going to apply for the honors program before i transfer schools

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

it's an inexpenssive school, good for student paying their own tuition without any financial aid or scholarships.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

If you have the time, take a summer class or two each year, they're easier and only last a month. that way if you have a semester with a bunch of hard classes, you can take 9 or so hours as opossed to 15 and still be on track to graduate on time.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

great for students who did not do so well in high school and need help transitioning to college; great for students who are not recieving financial aid and have to pay their own way, great for students who are intimidated by big classes like most universities and need more personal attentiont and help.
