The school is small and in a beautiful part of South Georgia where there are plenty of activities in around the community for college students, even at the school. The students are friendly and very kind as well welcoming. The faculty and staff help with any and all problems that one may encounter.
Tips for prospective students
Always study no matter how difficult the class and even study before the next class, you never know when the teachers bring up a pop quiz. Attend class everyday, ABAC has an attendence policy where when you attend class you get grades and when you don't go to class, you lose points off your next test/exam.
Academic Rigor
The classes are slightly difficult but if you study proper;y then you can succeed at anything. Do NOT go out and party or slack off, the school can and will kick you out for that.
Dorm Life
Dorm life is very relaxed and friendly. The rooms are spacious and comfortable and your peers are very helpful and friendly.
Food and Dining
The dining hall isn't the best in the world and it sure isn't momma's cooking, but the student and faculty always look forward to Fried Chicken Thursdays every week.
What to do for fun
There is a swimming pool on campus as well as two fitness gyms that are free to the college students. There are also horse stables on campus and a lake for fishing. The school has many events and activities going on for students to do in their spare time. There is also a bowling alley in town and a fair in November.
