Honestly, it's not the best school. The professors are good, academics are good, but you really don't get the college experience here. Feels like high school. I plan on transferring after this semester. It's very easy to make friends, people are very friendly.

f you're looking for a moderately exposed school, with low tuition, opportunities for socialization, smaller student body numbers and little to no arts programs? This is definitely the school for you. It has a great nursing program, great business programs. There are opportunities for the technologically gifted and if you don't quite know what to do yet, we usually have a large number of general studies students. If you are a preforming arts major, if you are attempting to pledge in Greek or want to be considered on a national scale for sports, if you are interested in pre-med or law degrees, and you have any other option? I might advise looking elsewhere. It isn't a terrible school, just not necessarily a career starter. Most attendees use SGSC as a stepping stone to a transfer to another college.

South Georgia College is a great school. The academics are challenging and there are always campus events going on. One of the downfalls is the expense of the college. The expensive cost of attendance does not adequately fit the community the college is in. If the cost of attendance would decrease this college would be 10/10.

It’s a great school for people who don’t want to be very involved, it’s for students who just want to get their associates and move on to an better college. The school itself would overall be better if it had more students to attend so they can provide better food for the students and fix up the place better.
Makenzie
Everyone is extremely nice and helpful in any way they can be! If you can’t find something, stop and ask because more than likely someone else knows and is willing to help. I like that it’s a small campus, so it’s easy to get to know other people since there’s a very good chance you have more than one class with them.

Honestly, this is good college for older people who are returning back to college to finish a degree because the classes are pretty easy for the most part. But for younger students who actually are trying to learn and better themselves to go on to jobs or to transfer colleges, I would not recommend this college. The professors only want to help while you're in class and pretty do whatever they want the rest of the time. I've observed in my two years at this college that they pretty much hire any professors or teachers who weren't successful at other colleges. They aren't all bad, if it weren't for my accounting teacher at South Georgia, I never would've figured out my love accounting and finance and figured out what I wanted to do. But they seriously need to learn to be there and be more helpful to their students, because it's literally like pulling their teeth just to ask them a question outside of class time and they never stick to office hours, and I've dealt with this for two years with multiple professors and office workers. It's beyond ridiculous and no one wants to help you to succeed!

Amazing school! Local and small. Everyone is very friendly. The school is hardly ever crowded and not very busy. The town around the campus is a small friendly town with a variety of shops and restaurants. The staff at SGSC are all very friendly and inviting.
Hailey
I am still attending and I think overall it is a good college. I've had a few bumps in the road and issues with some teachers, but the majority are fantastic and genuinely want you to succeed and help you in doing so. I do wish there was more variety in the classes, but it is a great starting point.
Anthony
I'm apart of the entry program on Valdosta State University campus. I love the college and campus. The professors are professional the only thing I dislike about it is the freshman dorms. They could have been better. I like the fact that there's mutiple food places on campus to eat at so you should never be hungry.
Gabrielle
In my opinion, South Georgia College is a great way to transition from high school to a higher education. They have a great dual enrollment program for high school students. I did the program my junior and senior year of high school and it put myself a year ahead. When I graduated high school in May 2016, I already had over 30 hours of college credit. So when I began SGC fall 2016 semester, I began as a sophomore instead of a freshmen. I am now in my spring 2017 semester and I will be graduating in May of 2017 with my Associates of Arts in Political Science. South Georgia has exceeded my expectations for my education. In fall 2016, I made the Dean's List with a 3.7 GPA with 16 hours of classes. I would definitely recommend this College for those who are weary about big college-town universities

What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
I wish I would have made better & quick chocies as far as school back then from what I know now...
Being a black man in my mid 20's, anybody can always can back to college, if you decide not to go right after high school. But when you do, even if your not sure what you want to major in, still give it a shot & see how you can handle it, what do you have to lose?
My school will help you in any way they can possibly help you. There are free tutoring programs, a study hall, as well as excellent professors willing to do everything in their power to make sure you understand your studies and help you to succeed.
