East Georgia State College Reviews

It’s a very small community so you get to know everyone & gain relations with people you’ll grow to love. The housing is great besides the strictness on having parties, or gatherings. It’s a great starter school if you don’t know if the college life is for you. It gives you the opportunity to understand how the process works & how college life is on a smaller level. The advisors are fantastic and always willing to help no matter if it’s transferring, providing resources, or encouraging you everyday to be a better you. You can contact your superiors and they’ll reply swiftly and assist with any issues. The president of the school is very open to new ideas and knowledge, so you can always do new things with approval. It’s a somewhat student ran community but of course like all schools we have rules we have to abide by. Overall East Georgia is a great place to further your education and gain new connects & resources. Give EGSC a try it’s not bad I promise!

East Georgia is a very good college for anyone starting or continuing their post secondary education. The classes are usually 29 students max, so it is very easy to get extra help. The teachers are very personable and try to help students when they can. The campus life is good, most students throw get-togethers or the campus has events going on. Even so, the campus life could be more lively. The campus itself is a decent size, so you can get to most of your classes within 5-7 minutes. The dorms are a good size with a nice living room/kitchen area. The main athletics here are baseball, tennis, softball, and basketball, but I think they should add more or ask students what sports they would like to see. It is a very safe campus with alerts going out in case an emergency occurs, and we also have campus police. It’s not much to do locally for the Swainsboro campus, but other than that EGSC is a great college and community!

East Georgia is good school, only thing I can really say is the food options need to be better. And when it comes to classes some professors tend to teach their curriculum as if it's students major which causes them to grade more strict on assignments and that's not fair to everyone I get its college but if a student's major is Nursing for example a English professor shouldn't treat it as if that's a students major they just need it to get by. Other than that I feel like if you doing what you need to do like getting a degree in your major and studying hard school will be good for you!
