    Did learn a lot

    I started attending this school the semester after I graduated high school and believed that it was relatively easy. The first semester, based on what you take, is a big review of high school. I did learn some new things but most of it was a reminder.
    Did enjoy being here

    The campus was very pretty. They just now rebuild a new building that is where the bookstore is and where kids hang out. The reason I did not enjoy being here was because it didn't have the college feel. Although, it is a community college!
    Bang for the buck

    I believe you get a great deal for going to this college. You are basically paying less than half of what other people are paying to go to a state school and learn the same thing.
    Tips for prospective students

    Become involved in activities that excite you. Be assertive in making friends because in college, no one is making you create a community for yourself. Get to school early enough to find a good parking spot, or any parking spot at that.
    Great for these types of students

    Homebody's, Likes smaller crowd setting, Likes to get school done and get off campus, Likes a very diverse setting, and someone looking for a cost effective college.

    Did learn a lot

    I learned a great deal. From experience I had some wonderful, weird yet interesting teachers. LOL!!! In college period, regardless of 2 year or 4 year, you will learn a lot. For those of you who make the best out of your college experience. It is also best that you take notes and get familar with your professors. I.e, their methods of teaching, what they tolerate and going above the call of duty. Pays off in the long run.
    Did enjoy being here

    At first I didn't enjoy being at GPC due to the fact I felt I should've been enrolled at a University. : P. Yet I can say looking back that it helped shape who I am today. What did I know then, I was only 18. Didn't really feel I got the college experience that I wanted. Since its a community college.
    Bang for the buck

    A plus for those who may not be ready for the $15,000+ tuition, that you would get at a 4 year. In state students save a lot. Example, a semester I was $1,117. Talk about savings!!!!
    Tips for prospective students

    It will feel like a review (for those of you who paid attention in high school) with some of the courses you take. Yet don't slack off just because you know the information. You can easily fall behind in class especially in college. Teachers don't give you scantrons, you will have to buy them from the vending machine (I know it's a bit much). All teachers aren't the same *key. Make friends, get involved, GPC ALWAYS have something going on so participate.

    This is a college that you go to just to get your education. I only go to the Alpharetta campus and there is not as much of a college social life on that campus.
    Tips for prospective students

    Perimeter is a great school to get a ground base for school. I highly recommend it to anyone. Especially those who cannot afford to go to their first choice college. This gives you two affordable years to find scholarships and grants.
    Great for these types of students

    Any student who wants an affordable education and is willing to put effort in their future.

    GPC is a small college that is almost reminiscent of high school. It doesn't feel like a college. Definitely ideal for those who have trouble transitioning.
    Tips for prospective students

    Join a lot of clubs! Always, always, always write your teacher's email down. iCollege is almost always down, don't expect it to always be up and running.
    Academic Rigor

    Depending on what classes you take, GPC can be easy or can be really hard. It depends on your professors.
    Dorm Life

    No dorm life. It's a 2-year school! I heard that one campus has dorms, but mine doesn't.
    Food and Dining

    Over-priced and okay. Much better than high school cafeteria food, but not by much.
    What to do for fun

    Clubs. Hang out in the student center. Talk to people. Work out.
    Bang for the buck

    I'm paying only about $600 p/semester thanks to my scholarship. However, not all of your classes will count as equivalents should you plan to transfer. Look into that! I ended up taking a math class I didn't even need at the advisement of my counselor.
    Great for these types of students

    Those who have trouble transitioning, aren't quite ready to be away from home yet, those who like a small college feel.
    Clubs and Activities

    Haven't had the pleasure to go to any club meetings yet, but the Baptist College Ministry at my campus is really welcoming, and the Student Government does a great job around campus with welcome week.

    The teachers are very helpful and it's nice to stay to close to home. It's a good way to transition from high school to college.
    Bang for the buck

    The cost is the best part about perimeter. You can get all your core classes done at a fraction of the cost of other colleges and universities. Then once finished with your associates degree at Perimeter, the credits are easily transferred a larger school of your choice.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you want to save money and want to do well in school with out all the distractions of a large university, this is the place for you.

    Am learning a lot

    A lot of the work is review from high school, but don't let that get to you. The professors move at a fast pace and they expect you to keep up. They have no mercy, even if this is your first semester in college. It's easy to make friends here, and you will meet people from every part of the world and of every age.
    Am enjoying being here

    I enjoy my time at Perimeter, more or less. I had my choice of several other schools, but I could not afford them so I was stuck with GPC. In the long run, I know I made the better decision instead of taking out a loan. There's not a college feel to it, but there's always something to do.
    Bang for the buck

    DEFINITELY. There's no way that you can find a better deal. It's a great plan for someone who plans to transfer to a 4 year school (like me). Take your prerequisites or get an associate and transfer out. They even have the TAG with many schools in Georgia and even a few out of state. That TAG will save you! The money that you could be spending to learn the same things you would be at another 4 year university will be in your pocket.
    Tips for prospective students

    Stay on top of things, stay organized with dates. Go to class! You won't have massive lecture halls to hide in, the class sizes are very small. Make friends with the people around you, it makes things a lot easier. Keep an open mind when you talk to people. Your classmates are the most diverse you can imagine, ranging from age to ethnicity to background. Everyone has a story to tell, listen to them.
    Great for these types of students

    Cash-strapped students, those with a family, looking to meet a diverse crowd, focused on education and education only

    Just because it is a 2 year college does not mean you can slack off. Its still college and it needs to be taken seriously.

    Despite the reputation, I had a great experience here. The teachers were knowledgeable and unique--all of them had such interesting personalities & characters, they kept me entertained as well as educated(use ratemyprofessor.com to find good ones). I met so many wonderful, smart, and DIVERSE classmates. The education was excellent for the price.
    Tips for prospective students

    Use ratemyprofessor.com for teacher suggestions. Buy books from classmates, it's cheaper that way. And just be open and positive and you will get a lot out of it. Also time management!
    What to do for fun

    Join groups, go on trips, watch plays: use your email to know about these activities. Some of them are even counted as extra credit.

    Georgia Perimeter College Has Been A Great College For The Time That I Was There. They Have Awesome Teachers. They School Is Great If You Are Planning On Going There To Be Able To Transfer To An University!
    Tips for prospective students

    A Great Way Of Being Prospective I Georgia Perimeter Is To Pay Attention. If You Are Cutting Up And Acting A Fool Just Like Anywhere Else You May Start To Fail. If You Go In There And Take Notes And Ask Questions Like You Should Then There Shouldn't Be A Problem. Just Stay Focus And Stay Out Of Trouble.
    Academic Rigor

    They Have All Type Of Academic Rewards! You Are Able To Be On The Deans List If You Keep Your Grades Up To Par. The Teachers Also Got Out Of Their Ways To Help If You Ask.
    Dorm Life

    The Georgia Perimeter That I Went To Didn't Have Dorms. I Went To The Georgia Perimeter In Decatur. So Therefore I Would Not Be Able To Speak On There Dorms.
    Food and Dining

    They Have A Nice Little Lunch Room Area. Its Not Big But They Have Seats, And Couches In There. Their Food Was Exspensive To Me, But To Each its Own.
    What to do for fun

    They Have A Swimming Pool, Basketball Court, Track Etc. They Also Have Little Events That Go On As Far As College Block Parties. If You Link Up With Classmates Then Different People Have Gatherings And Parties.

    Its Great For Your Money Because They Are Cheap! They Are Cheap But Worth It! Their Teachers Are Great, The People Are Friendly And Its Just A Great Atmosphere.

    GPC is a school that is more affordable than many other institutions. It offers better quality classes because of the smaller class size and more 1 on 1 teacher attention. Their TAG transfer program is a big attraction that is great for ensuring that students can get into quality four year schools. Furthermore, GPC contains many good resources in their libraries and they have several campuses you can choose from to attend.
    Tips for prospective students

    My advice to students is to visit your teachers as often as you can because they are more willing to work with you if they see that you are trying hard to do well. Also, you need to make sure you register for your classes early because spaces fill up very fast and you want to make sure you can get good classes to fit your schedule. Enroll in the TAG transfer guarantee program before you plan on transferring to another school to make sure you can get into the school of your choice.
    Academic Rigor

    The teachers at Perimeter in general are just as good as those at other schools. They will work with you if you make an effort to go see them for help. It is a good idea to check rate my professor.com to see reviews for teachers before you sign up for their classes to make sure that their teaching style lines up with what is best for you.
    Dorm Life

    There are no dorms at Perimeter because it is a community college but they have five different campuses for you to choose from so you don’t have to drive too far out of your way to get to school.
    Food and Dining

    The food on campus varies for different campuses. People like the food at Newton while at Clarkston, they are conveniently located by a wide selection of food restaurants so there is no reason you should have problems with food and dining.
    What to do for fun

    GPC clubs often host many events throughout the year to get students engaged. Events such as movie nights, club rallies, homecoming week are among a few of the many rewarding opportunities offered at GPC.
    Bang for the buck

    You get your money’s worth at GPC. They frequently have events on campus for students to get involved in as well as many rewarding events and displays that take place during the year. The facilities are nicely kept and offer a wonderful library selection of books, journals, magazines and even quiet areas for your benefit.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    One interesting fact is that the Newton Campus is located in full view of a pasture with dozens of cows. Many students note that they can be quite interesting to watch.
    Great for these types of students

    GPC is great for students who are trying to get into the experience of college before they go off to a big four year institution. Its hands-on experience allows them to have the attention they need but with the personal responsibility of getting their work done on their own. The many activities and events allows them to also get involved without having to feel overwhelmed by a big crowd in one particular group. Adults also benefit from GPC as well. Its ability to have both day and night classes allows parents and other adults to commute easier from work and school to get their classes done.
    Clubs and Activities

    Every campus has a wide variety of clubs and activities to get involved in; from Earth club to student government. They even have a Japanese Club. GPC hosts many activities regularly including recently, the day of service for Martin Luther King Jr. day. There is something for everyone to get engaged in and it is a great way to meet new people.
    Greek Life

    There are no fraternities or sororities at GPC because it is a 2 year institution but there are a great many clubs that give the same bonding experience for a cause that you can get otherwise.
    Campus Safety

    Every campus has a well staffed security team that works all day to make sure that campus is safe and secure from any threats. They even send out emails to let people know when any potential danger may be occurring on campus. They work days and nights so you can feel assured leaving campus at night with protection.

    Attending GPC has been a very good experience, I have taken advantage of attending classes on two different campus. The professor has been very helpful and knowledgeable, I had to take Spanish II and I really don't speak Spanish, I was directed a student teacher on campus, she is wonderful to work with.
    The campus is just a wonderful place to meet so many diverse cultures.
