Review of University of North Georgia

from Gibsonia, PA

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

Both in and out of the classroom you will be constantly learning things. If you join the corps of cadets you will learn even more.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

The area it self is very nice, Life as a freshmen in the corp of cadets sucks though. While in the corp of cadets as a freshmen you will have mandatory studying from 8pm to midnight Sunday-Thursday. So social life suffers. You have to wear a uniform 24/7 also for your first semester. However I have not met one person who was unfriendly. All of the professors and students are easily approachable and very friendly. I have made a lot of good friends here

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

This is by far the cheapest military college. It was ranked the number one army ROTC program in the nation. The classes are good with small numbers. The teachers all know you by name so don't try and skip to many classes.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

This is a great college to go to if you like the mountains. DO NOT go here if you want to go and party all of the time. This college is in the middle of no where. The town outside of the college has very little non outdoor activities. But if you enjoy biking, hiking and camping this a great place. Oh and if your in the ROTC program make sure you keep your GPA above a 2.5

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Being in the corps is a great thing to do if you want to commission into the Army. The ROTC program is second to none. Just remember the corps is self ran. It is a leadership laboratory, so things are not also organized as well as they should. But if you want to commission or just want leadership skills this is a great college.
