Review of Gordon State College

from Milner, GA

Describe your college in three sentences.

Gordon is a wonderful starter college; here you are able to dertermine whether or not "college is for you". The courses aren't too demending, and the professors are always willing to help! You certainly won't get an experience at a University quite like you will at Gordon.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Become friends with your advisor, and make friends in each class. Don't skip (unless you KNOW you've got the material down), and try to stay on top of your work. If you have any conflict, or are struggling, be sure to let your professors know.

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

Again, the courses aren't too demanding. Some professors require little to no work, and some will have you complete multiple assignments in one week. Speak with your advisor for suggestions on who to take.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

To the best of my knowledge, the dorm life isn't very bad.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

Possibly the best cafe a college could have! The food is always good, and there's always multiple options! The staff is friendly as well, so you don't feel like you're being a bother by asking for additional food.

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

There's always something planned in each month for students; from give away days to random activities in front of the SARC, you stay pretty entertained. There's multiple occassions where students are able to watch movies on movie nights, and clubs and intramural teams keep the times in between spiced up as well. A weekly email is sent out with the list of activities.

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

This is the go to college for cheap tuition and an awesome education. You're able to get all if not most of your core classes put of the way and not break your beank or drown in student loans. Plus, almost all credits are transferrable.

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

The campus police are constantly patrolling, and there are safety "boxes" planted around campus. If there is ever a dispute or criminal activity, campus police is more than willing to assist. I have always felt safe on campus, and I've been attending for almost three years now!
