I am a freshman here at Gadsden State, and I have to say that the whole application process was made easy simply because of the well informed and polite staff at the One Stop Center, a building dedicated to business, financial aid, registration, and admissions of all students. They are very patient, as well as all of the instructors here, and they all make sure that you know they are available to you if you need help with anything.
Review Gadsden State Community College
The nursing program is a respectable program at Gadsden State. The professors are helpful and though the workload is immense, you have a great support team!
a person who is shy, backwards, or may even have social anxiety this is a great school for you. Or maybe you went to a small high school and were scared about jumping right into a large university, this would be a great transition school. it is small and home-like atmosphere. there are some great professors who you will never forget and wish you could take for every class! its a good way to go if you are financially conscious and looking for a cheaper route. get your basics completed here and it will save you money. Gadsden state is a great school.
