Great school if you apply yourself.

You get what you put in on the education. Difficulty and prestige varies greatly from among disciplines. Some of the professors are fantastic, some are okay.

The city is perfect for this size school and those that disagree refused to get involved or are too used to a busier lifestyle (so many coming from metro-Atlanta). Bottom line is that the bars/restaurants/school are withing walking distance of 90% of the students. This creates a superb college atmosphere.

Only knock is that grabbing a job after graduation may be difficult for some. It appears that we compete poorly against other schools for jobs but usually are able to move up because graduates from GCSU are MUCH more personable than those from others school. It's really a very social campus.

The environmental science major is not well structured. It is impossible to finish your degree in four years because many class times overlap. To solve this problem the staff may wave some of your requirements but then you end up with a subpar education. Professors teach classes that they don"t have a lot of experience in, even upper division classes, and often teach the wrong thing or make major mistakes in their lectures. I feel I got a better education at my community college. If you want to be an environmental scientist you are better off at another school. I you want to finish college in five or more years and don't care if you learn the right thing then this is the program for you.

GCSU has a very relaxing atmosphere. The campus is pretty and everything is located together so you don't have to walk all over campus to get from one class to another.

PROS: VERY friendly staff and faculty. The administration staff is very willing to help and answer any questions. The food is pretty good so I would recommend a meal plan if you don't feel like cooking much. GCSU is affordable and the housing is updated and there are many housing opportunities in Milledgeville such as off-campus apartments, rental houses, and on-campus Residence Halls. The weather is warmer too compared to more northern schools of course. There are small class sizes for the most part and the campus is a pretty safe area. There isn't the hustle and bustle of city life so there aren't people overflowing all over the place and not a lot of noise.

CONS: Not too much to do in Milledgeville. If you want to go shopping and see a movie or something the closest place is Macon which is about a 45 min drive. If you are the type to get bored easily then I would suggest to not come here. But if you are happy just chillin at your room with friends then this could be the place for you. Smaller towns also mean less job opportunities which make getting a job more competitive. The Milledgeville Mall sucks (the main "highlights" are JC Penny, Belks, Goody's and Office Depot). Oh yeah, there's not really any diversity either so if you are a minority seeking to experience more minorites, then don't bother. Everyone just about dresses the same too. Girls wear jeans, hoodies, baseball caps, and t-shirts. Nothing too special,

Basically, you just have to expect some limitations in a smaller town unless you are willing to take the drive somewhere else. Don't expect much in the surrounding towns either. But compared to Georgia State (where I transferred to for 1 semester) I like GCSU much better because the people are friendly and it's a refreshing atmosphere.
