Upcoming Preview Days
If you would like to visit before our scheduled Preview Days, please schedule a Daily Campus Tour.
There’s nothing quite like visiting Georgia Southwestern State University and experiencing our beautiful campus in person! From walking down Hello Walk to planning how you will decorate your room and even interacting with faculty, staff, and current students, our Preview Days will give you a glimpse of the GSW experience.
Preview Day begins at 8:45 AM and concludes with three optional information sessions at 12:20 PM. Upon arrival, signs will direct visitors to Preview Day parking near the Storm Dome entrance. The tour includes a visit to the freshmen residence halls, Southwestern Oaks I and II, offering shared and private suite options designed to aid students in transitioning to college life. The tour will also stop at the newly renovated James Earl Carter Library. After Preview Day, explore Americus and enjoy lunch at a local restaurant. A list of local eateries will be provided during the event.

When looking for schools, I was focusing on finding places that were smaller and more community orientated. The second I stepped on GSW’s campus, I immediately got hit with that sense of community and knew it was the place for me. I wanted to become a part of the community that I thought so highly of as a high schooler looking for where I was going to further my education.
