"I chose GSW because it was a good distance away from home but enough distance to give me time to grow on my own. I fell in love with the campus scenery and the fact that GSW was a lot of my previous teachers' alma mater helped me to choose GSW. It gave me the "home away from home" that I needed to enhance my college experience."
"Since I was working full-time, I was looking for a local university that offered online, affordable classes and was close enough to experience on-campus events. GSW fit all my requirements. I enjoy driving to campus and experiencing musicals, sporting events, and other student activities that GSW offers."
I chose to attend GSW because it was close to home. Since it is close to my hometown, commuting to GSW allowed me to keep my full-time job with the flexible schedule options offered by the College of Business and Computing.
"Coming from a close-knit family, I really love how the community at GSW and in Americus resembles that. At GSW, I am able to make connections that are beneficial and lasting during college and in my post-college career."
"GSW’s faculty-to-student ratio and small-town feel made it a good choice for me to pursue my degree while being an active member of the Navy Reserves."
"Being a part of TEDxGeorgiaSouthwesternU gave me a broader perspective on why GSW is so special. It's the people at GSW. If you are willing to become engaged, the faculty and staff are there for the students, and they will go the extra mile to help students get what they need to succeed. I felt this way entering as an online MBA student, but when I had the chance to meet and interact with faculty and staff, I saw in person how committed GSW is to the students and GSW community. The people at GSW make the place."
