Attending Georgia College was hands-down one of the best decisions I have ever made.
The university has among the highest graduation rates and freshmen retention rates in the state. To speak to the graduation rate, I completed my Bachelor's in Marketing and minor in Economics in only 3.5 years, and my sister also graduated from GC with her Psychology degree in only three years. I've also had friends who have attended GC go on to become national scholarship recipients (several Fulbright Scholars) and some who have skipped Master's degrees and gone straight into Ph. D. programs.
Also, GC has been the #1 safest campus in Georgia by Princeton Review and chosen as the 2nd safest campus for women in the nation by a large news outlet. To further speak to the safety of the campus, it's within 7 police jurisdictions and has a student night auxiliary patrol that offers students golf cart rides home at night. When I was a young student, I would even walk home from the library in all hours of the night with a MacBook Air in my backpack and was never bothered (and I'm a girl of pretty small stature).
GC is the perfect place for bright, young professionals who like to be intellectually challenged and who will get involved in campus life.
It's truly the preeminent private-feeling university at the public cost.
tl;dr - Gorgeous, safe, university with an exceptionally talented and motivated student body. If you're thinking about attending, I highly encourage you to!
