Alum: UGA is definitely a large, State University which was a fit for me since I was unsure as to what career path I was initially interested in. So many choices! But it gets much smaller and intimate over time as you get through the core classes and begin to specialize. I joined a fraternity while I was there, but you certainly don't need to be a part of Greek life to find a multitude of social opportunities. It's very easy to make friends at UGA. The sports are amazing and the academics continue to strengthen as the years go by. There really aren't any obvious weaknesses to discuss. The only thing I will say is that the number of students is stressing the available infrastructure in terms of parking and housing. If UGA will focus on increasing the number of dorm rooms and parking spaces then it would help a lot. And this can be accomplished in a very thoughtful way so as not to diminish the beauty and walkability of the campus.... Read 5,717 reviews

Classes are tough but it’s not hard to connect with other peers and professors to ask questions. I wish that upperclassmen dorms were closer to campus but it’s still easy to get to campus....

Freshman: Life University is highly regarded for its chiropractic programs, providing comprehensive education in this field. The institution is known for its focus on vitalism, holistic health, and overall well-being, which attracts individuals interested in such approaches. The campus is often praised for its beauty and facilities. It provides a conducive environment for learning and personal development. I as a students often appreciate the research opportunities available, allowing us to engage in cutting-edge developments in chiropractic and related fields. Like many private institutions, the cost of education can be a concern for some students. Enhancements in financial aid or scholarship opportunities could be beneficial. Some students might desire a more diversified curriculum or an even broader array of programs beyond chiropractic studies.... Read 345 reviews

  Rating 3.7 out of 5  780 reviews

Senior: I love Berry College’s campus. Not only is it gorgeous, but it’s spacious, too. The professors are wonderful and personable. They want to see students succeed, and genuinely care about their students’ well being — physically and mentally. The college and professors were extremely understanding when I completed a semester at home (Fall 2020) for my mental health. I was welcomed back with open arms, and went on to do even greater things than I imagined. The work experience I have gained is entirely unique to Berry. I completed a thesis for my Honors degree, which has helped me in applying to graduate programs. As a small aside, the picky eater in me had a difficult time adjusting to the food on campus. Living in a dorm with a kitchen has been my greatest decision. The dining hall can be chaotic and no conducive for anyone with an anxiety disorder, but there are other options, and to-go plates are available every day.... Read 780 reviews

Freshman: Georgia College and State University is a family legacy. My great aunt, my great grandparents, my uncle, and my parents all attended GCSU and that is what makes it so special. The community surrounding Milledgeville is completely immersed in its rich culture. From Central State Hospital, the antebellum-era mental asylum thats only a 10 minute drive from campus, to the beautifully up kept historical downtown, the past is beautifully intertwined with the present in a way that respects and displays the values of the community and the college. Its multitudes of nicknames such as Milly (the town), MillyVegas (the strip of downtown bars frequented by students), and the Local Yokals (Milledgeville natives) speaks to the uniquely authentic pride from students that attend Georgia College and State University and carries such pride throughout their lives. This historic pride gets passed down for generations, leading to more students who appreciate the past and use it to create a better future.... Read 1,323 reviews

Alum: My experience at Georgia Southern University was interesting! I began my college journey at Armstrong State University but very soon after, it merged with GSU, making me a proud Eagle. With the merger, I was introduced to more opportunities, better learning experiences and a bigger collegiate community. Initially, I was apprehensive about the small details surrounding the merger like, student-teacher ratios and athletics. However, becoming an Eagle turned out to be one of my greatest accomplishments and I'm excited to return for my master's program.... Read 4,185 reviews

Freshman: It’s been exciting! I was part of the covid class in high school; my junior and senior years were robbed from me and I never got to experience and truly learn the concepts being taught. I had a two year gap between high school and college were I tried working in a few different fields to find what interested me and to fully mature myself. I came back to school this fall of 2023, and being back in a classroom for the first time in 4 years has been a slap in the face but thankfully I quickly adjusted and I’m maintaining my GPA....

I've met new people, made some friends, lost some friends, made the dance team, and become a captain in my second year of dancing which was amazing. I got to see and do things that I could not do at home! At CSU it's like we are all one big family went is amazing.

Graduate Student: The professors want to see you succeed in and out of the classroom setting, which can make their classes challenging but rewarding. They are quick to respond to your questions and are very understanding when you are going through something. The dining hall has gotten much better and I enjoy meeting there for lunch. The downtown area is across the street and is so fun with the farmers market, live music, and cute shops! I enjoyed my experience at Brenau and have a great career because of how the school prepared me for success. You only get out what you put in to something!... Read 750 reviews

I was immediately met with so many opportunities for growth and support here, I was told about options for the political science major and I also learned about their paralegal certification. The classes are small, 20-30 per class, which makes learning so much easier and I actually feel connected to the professors. I look forward to my upcoming years at GGC!... Read 1,857 reviews

Junior: I’ve been to southern crescent a few times however this time I’ve had the best experience. I believe that’s because of the revamping and the new staff. The financial aid process was super smooth, counselors are available, and each of my professors communication has been beyond excellent. The organization and growth of the school/ campus over all has been amazing to watch. They host events and activities for the students that keep us engaged and the time frame in which they inform us is perfect! we know things at least a week or 2 maybe even a month in advance and the event dates are always sent via email with reminders. My favorite thing thus far is the final grade posting.!! The past few semesters the grades have gone in immediately there’s no more than 2days max wait for final grades! All students know the anxiety of final grade postings so 2 days wait is great . If you are interested in starting a new career apply for SCTC it’s worth it, Fall is around the corner!...

Freshman: Augusta Technical College is an awesome school! It is especially amazing for people who wish to work while in school. With a good, solid education, a high level of campus diversity, an ideal location in south Augusta, and excellent professors, Augusta Technical College is a first rate school with many opportunities. Whether you wish to study a trade, a medical major, or some other area of study, Augusta Technical College is where you wish to be. Not to mention the low tuition prices. Augusta Technical College enabled me to reach for my goals in school, in the workplace, and at home, and I am very grateful for the staff and for the time I spend there with my classmates. The return on investment is top notch, as 98% of graduates go on to pursue their careers right out of college. The campus is also more than ideal, and very pleasant and navigable. The safety is very well administered as well, and any and all individuals have every reason to feel save and secure when on campus.... Read 265 reviews

Junior: I have been an online student for almost three years now. I began my late 40s which made the initial process intimidating but my admissions counselor far exceeded his responsibilities to patiently help me with anything I needed. Moreover, I can say the same thing about other departments such as the business office and financial aid. The courses have helped me tremendously and I could not have matured in my calling the same way without them. The professors are thorough and competent, but also very caring. It is obvious that they are truly pouring into their students not only the curriculum at hand, but the biblical relevance and application that correlates with each class. The only area in which I was not able to find the help I needed throughout my time at Truett is the advisors. I have had to pick my own courses without their help due to either appointment or time issues. However, my overall experience has been extremely valuable to my trajectory. Thank you TMU!...

Freshman: Ogeechee Tech College seems like a nice college campus with friendly and helpful staff members. I plan on attending there for this coming Summer semester so i am more than excited for that! The area around the college seems a little depressing and gloomy but hopefully i will like it once i start. The only thing i do not really care for is the layout of the college campus buildings. They have the main campus building almost in the back when you would think it would be at the front of the campus so new students and visitors would be able to easily see it.
