Overview of Georgia College & State University

I am so excited to be a part of GA College. The size of the student body is perfect for me; it is big enough to feel like a large college, but small enough that I pass people I know in the cafeteria or on the way to class every day. The campus is beautiful, the dorms have been great, and I love the historic feel of the small town. The school really went all out to make sure students could feel accepted and involved- I have done so many activities outside of classes that have helped me meet other students. I am a part of the Salsa and Swing Dancing clubs, and enjoy going to various churches, acoustic nights, and all kinds of other events on campus! Georgia College has been a blast!

I live in a dorm, (oh excuse me, residence hall) and I really like it. The campus is just the right size, not too big, not too small. You can walk anywhere you want to go, and if you can't walk there, there is a shuttle bus that runs all day, all week. The key is to do more than sit in your room all day; the more people you meet, the happier you will be!

Not only is everyone extremely intellectual and friendly here, Southern courtesy prevails. This may be a little irrelevant, but if you're going into a building or classroom doors are held. Everyone is polite and respects each other so much. There's something here for everyone! With all the friends you meet being on such a small campus you can't help but to run into people everywhere you go, including night-life. We like to say, Everyone's famous in Milly!

If I could rate this school higher than 5-stars, I would! It is such a small town, family environment, which most of us appreciate. There is always something going on for everyone. Even if you are not into the partying aspect of college, you actually have a hard time running into that stuff! It's kept completely separate and off campus. When you first think of Milledgeville, you almost think 'Where even is that?' but that is the best part. Everyone who has ever come to visit left wanting to stay longer! It's awesome!

First semester was rough, but I think I would have had a hard time regardless of the school. There is always something to do; whether it's an activity that is being hosted by your dorm, or the Campus Activities Board, you always have options. The campus is easy to navigate, and I never have to walk more than 10 minutes to get to class. It's a very welcoming atmosphere, and the campus is beautiful.
