"GSW has a unique culture. The faculty embrace the culture and that spills over into the student body. There is a sense of pride among all associated with the college that is contagious."
"I decided to attend GSW because of all the AMAZING opportunities that were offered to me before I was even a student here. It's a decision I will never regret."
"I chose to attend GSW because of its strong sense of community and the opportunities it offers for personal and academic growth. The smaller campus size allows for more personalized interactions with professors and peers, which has helped me feel more connected. GSW also offers a range of leadership opportunities, such as my involvement in the Student Engagement Team (SET), that have allowed me to develop as a student leader and make an impact on campus."
"In high school, I worked for the technology team at Schley County fixing laptops, printers and projectors. I had lots of fun fixing technical issues and have chosen to make a career out of it."
"I chose GSW because I was looking for an affordable online college that offered a human resources degree. I got an interdisciplinary understanding of different fields so I can apply them to my current career."
"GSW is so special because of the small campus and how easy it is to make friends. Even in big classes, the faculty truly cares and there are plenty of campus activities to help develop relationships with fellow students and classmates."
