Gaston College Reviews
Rating 3.83 out of 5 362 reviews
I've really enjoyed my experience at Gaston College! I've enjoyed both the campus and the online experience. Gaston College is a great school for those who want a quick, no-fuss education! I'm a student at Gaston and the teachers are all very kind and helpful. There are a lot of great resources to assist students with their career goals as well.
Gaston college provided me with convenient online learning even before I was enrolled full-time as of fall of 2019. Prior to that, I was a high school taking their College Career Promise courses. This allowed me to get a foot in the door both figuratively and eventually literally into my college experience which I would continue the following two years. I will be completing my second and final year at Gaston this upcoming month when I will be graduating and receiving an Associates degree in both Science and Engineering. Gaston College has also provided me with wonderful professors and resources for my benefit to further my education and transfer to a 4 year institution this next fall. I am thankful for the staff’s willingness to help my classmates and I succeed, whether it be a professor staying extra office hours to answer questions or librarians who offer us study spaces and technology, to the custodians who ensure we have a clean and comfortable learning environment.
My first year at Gaston college was challenging to become accustomed to the flow of classwork which was assigned. I learned to manage my time better and make new friends who would make my experience in the classroom more manageable and enjoyable. My second year, however I found increasingly more difficult given the fact that we were faced with a global pandemic which more or less forced us to move to being completely online. I had to remain more focused and motivated during times that made it easier to fall behind in class.
The professors however, visibly understood the struggle and occasion frustration which came with change. They were all very flexible with virtual office hours, offering us as much help as we needed, as well as highlighting resources such as tutors. While these times have been difficult while learning online, it was made easier with everyone’s willingness to help us.
