    Am learning a lot

    The professors that I have had thus far have proven to genuinely have my success at heart! They have been very easy to work with, clear in their instructions, and willing to help when needed all while challenging their students to learn at new, higher levels.
    Am enjoying being here

    I actually attend Brenau's Online College, but it allows me to travel full-time with my family and to make a difference in lives around the country all while pursuing my degree.
    Bang for the buck

    College is very expensive and Brenau is a private school. I do highly recommend attending Brenau, but I also recommend working hard to find scholarships for yourselves. That's why I'm here on Cappex, and let me just say how thankful I am for how easy Cappex makes searching and applying for scholarships!
    Tips for prospective students

    Be willing to work hard and take pride in your hard work! It's all worth it in the long run!

    Don't miss a final for any reason. Utilize all of Brenau University's student assistance options if you seem to struggle learning.

    Dorm Life

    This area is not applicable to me as I am an on-line student living in my own home. I imagine the rooms are spacious, clean, and updated.
    Food and Dining

    The grounds are exceptionally beautiful and clean I imagine their dining area is wonderful with a variety of choices on the menu that are healthy and pleasing.
    What to do for fun

    Brenau's campus is located a few blocks from downtown Gainesville. Gainesville has an abundant variety of clothing boutiques, fine eateries, and entertainment. Brenau itself offers several clubs, organizations, and sports for their student's to enoy.

    brenau offers small class sizes and has affiliations with the local hospital and another local college that offers several graduate programs. the way they go above and beyond to ensure the success of their students is so appealing! brenau university has everything i could ever want!
    Tips for prospective students

    make sure you apply for several scholarships and keep your gpa high enough to receive scholarships from brenau. it is a private school, so watch out for the higher cost!
    Academic Rigor

    brenau offers honors and accelerated programs. if you're the type of student who gets bored easily if you aren't being challenged, brenau offers the types of programs that will help you fix that!
    Dorm Life

    brenau is an all girls school, so don't look for guys and a football team to make the social life spectacular. the dorm and social life is built around friendships and sisterhood through the sororites that brenau is known for.
    Food and Dining

    brenau offers meal plans, like most colleges. i've only experienced the food once, and it was great!
    What to do for fun

    those who attend brenau get a free gym membership, and the sororites offer lots of fun and excitement through the events that they hold.
    Bang for the buck

    the professors are so helpful! the extra help and time that come from the small class sizes are definitely worth the money.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    the fountain: girls who get engaged while attending brenau get thrown into the fountain on campus!

    Am learning a lot

    i have learned a lot, the classes are not easy but you will definitely learn something. the proffesors are always helpful just make sure to ask and it will make the expeirence all that more easier and understandable.
    Am enjoying being here

    i love that the campus is small and in a sense intimate because everything is very close and you get to know almost everyone. We have a lot of programs and groups to join to theres always a place for you no matter what you like.
    Bang for the buck

    It is a private all women college so it will be very expensive.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you have trouble in any academics always look to the library or you teachers. the library has plenty of tutoring centers, and teachers are always willing to help out just make sure to set an appointment.

    Will learn a lot

    I have gotten a chance to talk to the girls at Brenau. Based on their comments I feel comfortable with placing my future in this program. I feel that Brenau will prepare me for life after college in every aspect and the learning environment is not intimidating. Classes are small and intimate.
    Will enjoy being here

    The campus here is old and beautiful and the relationships formed between the professors and students seem genuine and peaceful.
    Bang for the buck

    Brenau is expensive. As long as you know what your major is and immediately start applying for scholarships, the financial aid department is extremely helpful in anyway possible.

    Tips for prospective students

    Make sure your financial aid is situated.
    Food and Dining

    No dining on Atlanta campus weekend class.
    What to do for fun

    I'm a weekend student so there isn't much time for fun on the campus. Only there from 8-5 on Saturdays.
    Great for these types of students

    Those interested in Occupational Therapy.
    Greek Life

    None on weekend Atlanta campus. Plenty on the main Gainesville campus.

    Brenau is a traditionally all women's college that places an exorbitant amount of energy on traditions, and not enough time on the students or the actual quality of their education program. We pay almost 35,000 a year and they claim to have no money. Most of the students i have talked to are dissatisfied with the amount of time Brenau spends towards bettering the education of her students.
    Tips for prospective students

    Rain boots are a must, especially in the fall and the spring months. Don't try to talk to members of HGH about their pins or the society.
    Academic Rigor

    Although the teachers are wonderful teachers, it is obvious that Brenau does little to afford the teachers a suitable teaching enviroment.
    Dorm Life

    The dorms are falling apart. However, the lawn is always freshly mowed.
    Food and Dining

    The food is sometimes worth the meal plan costs however the cafeteria is hardly ever open.
    Bang for the buck

    Brenau is ridiculously expensive for the amount of stuff that you don't get.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    The Fountain is both an unusual tradition and location. It is located on the front campus, and it is said to be good luck for an engaged Brenau women to be thrown in the fountain. She is not allowed to come out until she tells the story of how she got engaged.
    Great for these types of students

    Perfectionists and girls who love to be involved.
    Clubs and Activities

    Although there is an abundance of clubs and activities on campus, it gets very frustrating because
    Greek Life

    Greek Life is pretty much all encompassing at Brenau, its suffocating

    Campus Safety

    As much as the Brenau security officers are very nice men and they try, anyone could walk through campus.

    Brenau is a great University for working adults. They cater their classes around students that are also parents, working adults and are involved in other activities. I love the convenience and location. I also like the 7 week classes!! It goes by really fast.
    Tips for prospective students

    Great school if you are working full-time. You can juggle school and work. If you enjoy online classes, Brenau offers all their classes online, the only drawback, they are twice as expensive as on-ground classes. Good school if you are majoring in Accounting, Business or Human Resources. They don't offer too many majors. I was looking to major in Finance, but they do not offer this type of program.
    Academic Rigor

    Great!! Brenau offers students academic opportunities and the instructors are helpful and encouraging. Be aware that some classes are only offered once a year. So, sign up if you know you are required to take a certain class in order to graduate. Make sure to meet with your academic advisor in order to review your program plan. If you don't you will end up taking classes that are not required.
    Dorm Life

    None in the Augusta campus. I visited Gainesville's campus, and they offer dorm's. Appeared clean and the facility seem nice. If you want the college experience, Gainesville is the campus for you!!
    Food and Dining

    None in the Augusta campus. Gainesville campus offers food and dining. I have never used their facility because I attend the Augusta campus. Augusta does not offer any amenities.

    Am learning a lot

    Brenau has been the first college I actually feel like they are teaching me everything I need to know. Most of the teachers will help explain the material to you in a way you can understand it if you don't the first time. I love this college because they have a great learning atmosphere.
    Am enjoying being here

    I do enjoy going to Brenau. I do go to the Augusta, ga campus and although the rooms are small, it's a great school for all of us. Most of the teachers are extremely nice and understand most of us are working adults that have more work than just school to attend to.
    Bang for the buck

    I do believe you get your money's worth out of it, especially because we can only miss one class or you are dropped. Because of that I do think that's a negative. Since I'm paying for my school I feel as long as I am making a good grade it should be my choice to go to school when I want. Also, the teachers have to keep us in class the whole four hours which at times can feel like a lifetime. But, I do understand we need almost all of those hours to get a good education.
    Tips for prospective students

    This is a wonderful school. The august campus only gets up to about 30 students in a room but they are usually not that full. This helps you have more one on one with the teacher, which can mean better grades.
    Great for these types of students

    I think the school is great for any working student. I work fulltime and then attend school fulltime. It's also great for the older students who have families.
