Georgia Gwinnett College was not my first option when deciding where to go after graduating high school. I wanted that university life while living on campus and going to parties. However, universities are very expensive and far from home which is why Georgia Gwinnet was my second option. Most of my high school friends applied and got accepted which encouraged to just go for it! I am now a junior at Georgia Gwinnett College and always love the days when I get to drive to school for my classes. The campus is so nice, clean, and a safe area to be around. All students who attend are friendly including the professors and staff that work at GGC. Not to mention our dining hall has the best food and let me mention the restaurants in our buildings including Chik-fil-A, Starbucks, and more. Last to say, I love this school as I recommended it to my sister who is now attending, and continue to let people know about Georgia Gwinnett College.
Trevon
Georgia Gwinnett College, is a great local college. All of my teachers were pretty cool and fair. I will say I wish some teachers were a little more accessible but that's more so a case by case basis. If you're college sports this may not be the school for you. They have flag football, frisby and video game lounge but no major teams. The facilities where nice. The cafeteria good be a little bigger but theres a hibachi grill, a sandwhich bar, salad bar and theres also a couple of restaurants on campus: Starsbuck, a sub franchise and their chicken tender place. Decent amount of vending machines. The worst part is parking, get there early or you will be walking far to class. Good luck !
LAURIE
Conscientious is the word that comes to mind. The professors I come in contact with are all of a caring nature with a true desire to see the students suceed. Safety is another word with campus security always visable and with an office on campus. The courses are challenging and the college a good choice if you are wanting to prepare for graduate college.
Sundus
I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!! VERY SAFE AND FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT. Great cost of attendance! The tuition cost is by far the lowest of most surrounding colleges, and the campus is beautiful. The parking situation could be made much better, as it is often very difficult to find park, or there is no parking available. The variety of foods on campus could also be much better. The eCore online classes offered are definitely very limited, which is a big issue on a campus that is primarily made up of commuters. The classes offered on campus are also quite limited, especially considering the amount the amount has grown over the years, and the availability for upper level classes in most majors.
Eyosiyas
The school provides a great environment for students that want to save money when getting educated.
Joey
Great professors, and class sizes. Some students are often apathetic and just there to transfer to a bigger school, but you can really get a great deal out of the school if you choose to. There are also plenty of clubs and student organizations, and there continue to be more every semester!
Parking is HORRIBLE so plan to always be on campus 20-30 minutes before class, and if you see a "spot" that doesn't have a "car-stop bumper," DO NOT park there! Student's do it all the time since it's not enforced often, but it's basically a side-hustle the school has going on to get a few bucks out of students where they can. BE CAREFUL, and be ready to pay 35/40.00 if you do!
Rebecca
Georgia Gwinnett College is absolutely amazing. The campus is not too big, but it is not too small either so it is great for those who want a regular college experience but does not want to get lost in a big crowd of people. The faculty are wonderful and are always willing to help you or even just stop by and say hello. The students enjoy being here and there is always someone who is willing to get to know you or make you feel part of their group. There are also so many activities happening around campus and lots of ways for students to get involved .The food they serve is also delicious whether it from the dining hall or one of the fast food places. The bookstore also has the resources you need whether it be school supplies or food for your dorm. I definitely recommend Georgia Gwinnett College for anyone who likes a small campus, but does not want to feel like they are in a community college.
Markel
Great School, Academics are amazing, Atmosphere is amazing very safe in my opinion. Classes are great sized and truly interactive.
Gregory
This is the school for me. After visiting several campuses Georgia Gwinnett appeared to college for me. The student to professor ratio, the minimum attention on sports and the major focus on the students education & professional preparedness is what attracted me to this higher education institution.
MiAzhee'
My overall opinion about Georgia Gwinnett College is that it is a nice and newly built four year College. It helps students to graduate in a timely manner, it doesn't focus on sports so that students can focus on education instead. The best thing I like about the School is the classroom size, which is only twenty five students or less I think it helps students learn more and be more connected to the professor.
Whtiney
It is a really relaxed campus. its not too big or too small. Class sizes are perfect for more one on one talks with professors. it is not too expensive also. There are plenty of quiet area to study at as well. for people seeking a peaceful environment, this is the perfect school for them.
Sebastian
My opinion of GGC is that the teachers actually care about the students and their wellbeing in the classroom. The community is very friendly and super interest in what's going on in people's lives. Overall, the college is very excellent and super cheap compared to other colleges.
Janasia
I really like the campus, I feel like the classroom sizes are great because we can all get the attention we need from our professors. There is a wide variety of restaurants and places to study on campus which I love. And the on campus housing is just really nice I honestly fell In love with the area and the apartment style living we get to experience.
Gabriel
Georgia Gwinnett College opened in 2006 and was the first four-year college to open in Georgia in over 100 years. I am certainly glad it opened in a suburban area of Lawrenceville, where I currently live. It is very affordable and the school deeply cares about the students getting the education they need to be successful and graduate. For example, every semester you must meet with an adviser before you can sign up for next semester classes to ensure you are on the right track. GGC recently became an accredited college and is always up with the latest trends; they recently started offering a logistics major due to Amazon's growth. The food on campus is great with options like Panda Express and Chick-fil-a. All in all GGC goes to great lengths to keep the students and staff happy.
Angeline
Georgia Gwinnett college is a great school that truly cares about the well-being and education of all the students. For instance, professors go out of their way to make sure that we get all the help we need when it comes to our education and they also make sure we can reach them out of class time.

What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
College has allowed me to have a lot of opportunities and experiences I wouldn't have otherwise had. I have also made a lot of new friends and networking connections. I would never be able to reach my personal goals and aspirations without a college degree.
What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?
Don't freak yourself out over little things. You will find time to study if you want to and if you are willing to work, your grades will reflect it. Just relax, take a deep breath and everything will be fine. If you have a problem, ask your professor; they know more than the other students.
