Located really close to where I live so the commute is no problem! I love how small the campus is and feel close to the other students walking around. It's near I-75 so there's tons of places to eat and shop at close to campus and Dalton is a very cute part of Georgia with nice neighborhoods and houses.

  7. What's the most frustrating thing about your school?

    The most frustrating thing about Dalton State would be that it is still structured like a high school. The college experience is supposed to be different from that of high school. In terms of teachers not hand holding students and various activities this school is lacking. I think in order to rectify the situation the attendance policies should be done away with, and that the school should have more entertainment activities going on during school hours for those who are waiting for class.
