I am a first-generation college student, and I had anxiety choosing an academic institution. I am thankful my previous academic institution had a transfer program collaboration with Athens State University because it helped me decide where I wanted to study.
One aspect that stands out at Athens State is the personalized attention that students receive. The university has a small student-to-faculty ratio, allowing for more individualized instruction and mentorship opportunities. Faculty members are often approachable and supportive, helping students navigate their academic journey.

Overall, Athens State University offers a well-rounded educational experience, combining academic rigor with a supportive community. Students can expect to receive personalized attention, have access to resources, and build connections that can positively impact their personal and professional lives.

This place is amazing! The teachers and staff are extremely friendly, and I could not imagine a better place for me to earn my Bachelor's Degree. Go Bears!
The availability of online options and flexibility has been amazing as a full time worker, the online option has been a great success
Athens State was a great university to be at and get a degree from. The education department was fantastic and the advisors are very knowledgeable about the path that I needed to take in order to succeed. I took mostly online classes and that could be a challenge because each class was set up differently but the classes were easy to navigate after understanding the layout for each class. Also, I took some in person classes prior to covid and they were very interesting. They offer hybrid courses and I only had to go to the college four times a semester for some classes and then the rest of the class was online. That allowed a lot of flexibility for me and the schedule I had at the time.
I have experienced a very good staff at Athens State, with the willingness to help. I have also experienced kindness and understanding. I have been grateful for the community Athens has given me and the interest they have taken in me as a student.
Athens State has been a really good choice for me allowing me to take all classes online. The instructors reply quickly and help me with all questions. The Navigate app is a great resource that helps me with all aspects of Athens State.
The teachers are what makes this college worth attending. Many of the teachers have already worked in the private sector and started teaching afterwards. The teachers want you to learn what you will use in your future career instead of just memorizing the entire course book.
I like how Athens State is very involved with its student base, and how they make sure they are mentally staying strong through the semester. The main thing I think they can fix is that there are not many options on professors on the classes you have to take for your degree.
I've heard great things about everything offered by Athens State University from both of my parents as well as many other family members and friends. My plan has been to attend Calhoun Community college and then transfer to Athens to complete my undergraduate degree.
As a non-traditional student who had made many stops on my educational journey, I was not expecting much from Athens State when I arrived. I thought it was going to be just another in a line of schools that failed to fully interest me, but were necessary for my goals. This assumption could not have been further from the truth.
Drs. Moyers and White were the kind of professors I had always been looking for. They provided incredible feedback and insight on papers and instructed in ways that brought life to the texts. The office of the financial aid was also incredibly helpful. When I was going to have a short discrepancy that would have cost me a few hundred dollars and potentially kept me from achieving my degree, they worked with me to find a scholarship to cover the amount.
I am proud to call myself an Athens State alumnus and hope this review steers you in that direction. You will not regret it!

The academic teaching, at least at Law School where I was a student, was of high quality. What was not as expected is the connection between theory and practice.
The instructors are really thorough and thoughtful. The campus is clean and well maintained but also has a lot of historic architectural appeal. During the pandemic, a lot of in person classes swapped to zoom unexpectedly. The teachers were accommodating of this and made themselves available at all hours to meet our needs. I thought this was going above and beyond by catering to us when it was obviously not their time on the clock.
Athens State was the best experience of my life and would recommend to anyone! Everyone is extremely nice and helpful.
I have now attended Athens State University for a year. I just completed my spring semester, and I could not ask for better instructors or a better institution to be learning from and at. My advisors and professors have been very helpful. They have so far efficiently assisted me along my journey of becoming a secondary education teacher. The campus of Athens State is smaller than others, but is so beautiful and litter-free. The buildings are exquisite. There is plenty of accessible parking. Both stairs and elevators are conveniently available for use to get to classrooms, and there are clear, roomy sidewalks for traveling between campus buildings.
My experience here has been great. The professors and staff and kind and always there to help and offer feedback.
I attended Athens State online and received my BA. I am also currently attending a graduate program there. I believe I have received a quality, well-rounded education. Additionally, Athens State is affordable priced. I would recommend it to anyone.
