A fun relaxed environment for learning. Most of the teachers really know the subject they are teaching and are happy to help. Out of 10 I would give GCC an 8.
Tips for prospective students
Do your homework!!!! If you do not do your homework then you should plan to not pass the class. Also, do not be afraid to ask questions. Teachers love it when you ask questions. If you want to do well in a class then you need to make sure you understand it properly. This means asking questions!
Dorm Life
I can not really rate the dorm life because I lived off campus.
Food and Dining
I like their food! They have a special deal where you can get a pell grant that will pay for all the food you eat in the cafeteria.
What to do for fun
I like to play volleyball and do English Country Dancing in my free time. I also like to hang out with friends.
Bang for the buck
I believe I received great knowledge in exchange for the cost of the class. I was fortunate enough to receive a scholarship that covered all my tuition cost.
Clubs and Activities
On Wednesdays the Baptist Student Ministry serves free lunch to all the students on campus from 11 until 2. (I think it is 2)
Campus Safety
Grayson is a very safe campus. I feel comfortable walking there without being afraid of being hurt.

It is a great starting school. They are updating most of the buildings to give it a newer feeling and make it more student friendly. The professors are great and willing to help also.
Academic Rigor
Some of the classes are challenging, but the professors usually are willing to help. They do have an honorers program for students that what to take advanced classes.
Dorm Life
Never stayed in the dorms.
Food and Dining
They have great food.
Bang for the buck
Its a great school for the money.

There are a bunch of clubs and things that can happen in the student center.
Campus Safety
The police are always around the parking lots and easy to reach.

The teachers here are really dedicated to helping the students learn. They are almost always available by phone and always are by email. The added addition of Blackboard makes communicating with your teachers and fellow classmates much more simple.

Grayson College is like an extension of high school. Most of my friends attend Grayson and have classes with me. The classes are fun and give just the right amount of challenge so they aren't too easy or too hard.
Bang for the buck
Good teachers, a wide range of classes (and campuses) to choose from, and newly renovated buildings make Grayson a good deal for the price of tuition. On top of that tuition is not very high.
Tips for prospective students
Only take online classes in the courses that are your strong points. For instance, if you have trouble with math, take the class in person so you can actually talk to the professor.
Great for these types of students
Grayson is great for students fresh out of high school who want to transition into college life at a slower pace or who want to get their basics before transfering to a larger college or university.
