"When I first stepped onto GSW's campus, it was peaceful, and the people were friendly. I wanted to stay even longer after Preview Day. It was honestly the perfect school, as it was within the state, and I still had a chance to become responsible."

Management
"I was looking for a smaller college where I could have close relationships with my professors. I took one tour of GSW, and I knew that it was the place for me to be. Also, I got the chance to be part of the President Jimmy Carter Leadership Program."

History
"I love GSW because of the campus size. Because it's smaller, I've been able to build closer relationships with my professors and peers. I've made so many great friends that share my interests and have grown so much since my first semester with the help of everyone on campus."

"I initially chose GSW because of its affordability and closeness to home. However, I found that GSW was the right place for me due to the tight-knit community that exists here which made me feel at home."
