My experience at GSW is Excellent! The atmosphere is wonderful and everyone is so friendly. Staff and Professors are easy to locate and talk to when having trouble with an assignment or in class. The students are friendly as well, and everything is so close together. The sports are wonderful to watch in your free time on the weekends or even during the week. The president and the wife are lovely as well. My favorite experience at GSW is Waffles with the Weavers. This event takes place right before finals and the Weavers make waffles for the students at night, you can even win a free t-shirt if you show up early! Downtown is a fun place to explore and go out to eat after a long week!
What I liked or many even loved about GSW, was how serious the community was about helping each other in a time of need or just to be a friend. I honestly believe that is the advantage of attending a smaller institution, among other things, like the relationships students are able to form with staff and Professors. For example, in my case, with every Professor I have had so far, I never felt like they did not care about me or my education. To me that was important because, there were moments where I felt like I was not good enough or smart enough to met my goals. However, with my educators' support, I pushed myself to continue on the path to success, and I ended up making all As this Spring. With that being said, I can proudly give Georgia Southwestern State University a five star rating.
The online classes are well taught, and I enjoy the flexibility. The teachers and department chairs are very responsive. During my application process, I received a phone call from the professor responsible for admissions to the online masters. I can honestly say this is the only time a faculty member reached out to me before I was a student. He was interested in my background and discussed what I would need to be successful in the GSW Masters of Computer Science. While not very inexpensive like GT OMSCS, GSW offers a good value.
