The school is very nurturing, which is great for those that are just getting accustomed to living on their own, but it's a bit stifling for people that don't want their hand held for everything. The college Writing Center is emphasized as a place to go for help on papers, but it's really just there if you aren't used to writing at a high level of competency.
The curriculum is really not as hard as I thought it would be, which is disappointing seeing as I'm in all 200 and 300 level courses. Professors favor certain students, but it's not hard to get an A even if you aren't one of the favored ones.
The social scene on campus is alright if you like lectures. Off campus, everything is accessible by Marta, but that can be expensive. I wish Agnes had more entertaining on-campus events. There are very few parties on campus (like 2 a semester)which is also disappointing. There is noticeable tension among ethnic groups, and most groups just keep to themselves.
Most people are friendly, though some can be intimidating because of their devotion to their "cause." Everyone has a cause to advocate, and some are a little more fervent than others.
The campus is beautiful, but the dorms are not well maintained. There have been several rooms evacuated from mold (which is disgusting) and you have to personally make a fuss with residence life if you want the showers cleaned, and even then it's not always effective.
The all-women environment is not all bad. Like much of everything at Agnes, you either love it or you hate it. I find that it's very comforting to be in classes with all women, because you're not afraid of being judged harshly by male peers. Unfortunately, it also means that finding an actual date or relationship other than random hookups at Tech or Morehouse can be difficult. It helps to have friends from in-state (if your from out-of-state, like me), since they will have the connections to find parties to attend. Having an active social life here really means having friends that know people at Tech, Emory, and Morehouse that can find parties.
Overall, some people really get into life at Agnes and have a great time here and make the most of things. A lot of women end up transferring. I'm transferring for next semester, because I don't feel like I am being challenged enough here and want a typical college experience instead of having to search for things to do to fill my schedule. | Individual Value: A, Useful Schoolwork: C |  | | |

Agnes Scott is the perfect place for me. Yes, there are a few bad apples within the student body, and because we are so small it may seem to be a bigger presence. The fact is, you can easily avoid drama if you surround yourself with the right people. There are so many amazing young women here, and we all want to see each other succeed.
Campus is amazing. It is lush and beautiful, while located in a quaint downtown area and a major city is just miles away. You do NOT need a car on campus as long as you are willing to walk or take MARTA. Unlike some women's colleges, men are easily accessible via Emory, Georgia Tech, or Atlanta.
The great thing about ASC is its very academic atmosphere. I have never had to worry about being distracted by drunken parties across the hall, yet when I want to drink it is available. There are activities for every kind of student. There are multitudes of extracurriculars, and the college is always hosting events for students. If you're into the party-hard college scene, Georgia Tech and Emory are close and 21 year olds have the Atlanta bar scene to look forward to. And don't forget clubbing!
The professors will know you by name and are always available. It is easy to feel smothered by seeing the same people on campus every day, but eventually it becomes comforting. The dorms are amazing! I can't say enough!
Oh, and one last thing about the faculty. My dream is to go to a top Ivy for law, and my academic advisor is none other than the former dean of one. The education you get here and the connections you make will last a lifetime. | Education Quality: A+, Social Life: B | | | |

PLEASE GET ME OUT OF HERE!
Academically, it's top notch. The campus is gorgeous. The dorms are decent. The food is very good, even though you eventually tire of it.
Too bad the student body is overrun by catty, immature girls. There is an excessive amount of backstabbing and it is impossible to focus on your studies. True, there are some good girls, but it is few and far between. Those with interests other than anime or drunken hookups with Tech boys should stay away. | Education Quality: A, Collaboration/Competitive: F | | | |
