REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingDue to Paine College's size, which is limited, learning is an essential. Many students, like myself, are hands-on learners. The smaller classrooms and less students in each class make it much easier to stay alert and focused.
MaLisa from Lithonia, GA
Paine College is able to be more hands on because of its small size. Most student are able to learn better with more attention from the teacher.
Donald from Lithonia, GA
I learn a lot at Paine due to the small classroom sizes and hands on experiences. Here at Paine teachers know your name and your always able to have a one-one with your teacher. If you still seem to have trouble there are numerous amounts of tutorial places you can go to on campus free of charge. There is one for math, english/writing, and many more.
