I have never been exposed to so much information in one academic year! Because of the distributional requirements you are exposed to a multitude of subjects and you learn a little bit of everything. My first year, I took classes in History, Biology, Math, Spanish, English, and Political Science. All the professors really know their subjects and are excited to teach. Its impossible to not learn something interesting everyday!

I absolutely love Agnes!! At first I wasn't sure about an all women's college but it was a great choice for me. The campus is beautiful, the dorms are amazing, the people are fantastic and it seems that everyone is happy to be there. There are lots of activities off and on campus so you never have to be bored. Having Atlanta so close is really great; there is never a lack of stores, restaurants, and attractions!

Agnes really is worth the money you may (or may not) pay. For the most part the Financial Aid office is really generous and helpful. I don't know anyone who didn't get some form of help, be it merit or need. Because of the quality of the education and the reputation at Agnes, your degree can really take you places, be it grad school or the workforce.

VISIT!!! Visit the campus, especially if you are undecided! Talk to students (we are all on facebook and would love to chat). But do your homework, are you sure you want a women's college? Is it to close to/too far from home? If there is a program you are interested in talk to a professor. Don't be afraid to ask questions!

Women (of course!)
Girls who know how to balance school work and free time. Because you will have to put in some hard work and you need to know how to take a break.

Its a perfect school if your dedicated student. Its a perfect school for students that are interested in sciences. Its also a beautiful and very helpful campus.

Apply on the Common App. Its free!

its very rigorous but they really prepare you for graduate school.

Beautiful dorms!

It's okay but Mollies is the campus dinner and is fantastic!

Go out to GA Tech. There is ALWAYS something to do in Atlanta! I am never bored!

You really pay for great education.

There are a lot of beautiful places to study if you are looking for a quiet place to study.

dedicated students that want to be successful.

There is literally a club for everyone and it is obtainable to reach a leadership position.

There is none

Although the campus is in Atlanta there is NO crime. Our public safety officers are highly trained and super friendly.

This college is academically challenging in a positive way. The sense of community is strong on campus. The professor-to-student ratio is great, and the learning center is very helpful.

Do not apply here if you do not want to be challenged or if you want an easy A.

The professors and learning assistants are very helpful and useful when you need help on anything.

The resident assistants make sure that everyone is adjusting comfortably and that we have enough floor/dorm gatherings to get to know each other better. These are rules set for each dorm and floor to ensure that there are no problems.

The manager of the dining hall and Mollies takes suggestions and critiques so that he can ensure that we get a better experience in both food places.

There are events on campus every day. Go to a few of them and see which one interests you the most then see which campus organization hosted the event so that you can join it. Downtown Decatur is just across the railroad tracks, so there is always something to do even off campus.

Aesthetically Agnes Scott is like being transported to Hogwarts.
The professors, staff, and other students are always willing to work with you and happy to do so.
The tuition isn't cheap, but financial aid will do everything possible to work with you to get you here and keep you here.

Come to Agnes! I had many public large colleges on my lists and talking to my friends who went to them, I am getting so much more out of my education. You aren't just a number or a paycheck here at Agnes. Your professors will know your name and they care about you. If they notice you missing a lot of classes, they will email you to make sure you are feeling well or offer to extend deadlines if you are sick. Within my first semester on campus, I was already talking about internships and my future with advisers and professors. If you want to come to Agnes, there is a way you can make the payments.

Academically, Agnes is not for the lazy. You will have hard classes, but you will learn so much. The courses are challenging, but most definitely manageable!

Dorms are cleaned frequently. They are a lot better than most colleges I visited, but it is still a college dorm.

If you leave Evans dining hall hungry, you must be crazy. There is food for all types of dietary restrictions and it tastes better than any college food I have ever seen. Even when Evans is closed you can go to Mollie's cafe which has burgers, fries, wraps, and whatever veggies you want on them.

There is always something going on at Agnes. There are so many clubs on campus that there is always somewhere to be (usually with free food). Also, being located so close to Atlanta and having accessible public transportation, you can easily go to a Braves game or the aquarium.

It may not be cheap, but the personalized and competitive academics will get you ahead. There are so many study abroad and internship opportunities. An Agnes education is exactly whatever you put into it.

Black Cat is our homecoming week that has everything from plays mocking Agnes, dance competitions, rushing the quad (literally throwing colorful trash all over the quad), a bonfire where you dress up as your class mascot, and a formal.

Everyone. There is very little discrimination. All races and sexual identities are accepted and loved.

There are clubs for everything and everyone has an opportunity to start a club or get a leadership position in an existing one. IF you have an interest, there is probably a club.

We do not have greek life.

Public Safety on our campus are actual police officers. They are friendly and always helpful. If you need a ride back from Marta (the subway) at midnight and don't want to walk in the dark, they will come pick you up. They make you feel even more safe on a nearly crime free campus. As you are at Agnes, you will get to know the public safety officers personally and they genuinely care about Agnes students and our safety.

A college that is accepting of students from every background possibly imaginable. The possibilities are endless for what you want to study with classes that include a variety of interests and programs allowing students to create their own majors if they want more than what Agnes Scott offers. With a beautiful campus and a close proximity to Atlanta, Agnes Scott packs a lot of punch for a small school.

Make sure that you are on top of your game when it comes to getting work done on time. The semester may start off easy, especially for first year students, but it gets progressively harder as time goes on so students have to be time conscious and not leave work to the last minute.

Agnes Scott is known for producing students who have achived high success in their careers. This is because Agnes promotes student research and ensures students are able to handle large papers and projects that they might experience later in their lives. The school doesn't have an honors program because it is assumed that any student able to get in is considered an honors student which is why the school's course work and grading scale is so rigorous.

Agnes Scott has communal styled dorms the include two to three students to a room with each hall sharing two bathroom/shower areas (usually with 4 showers and 7 toliets/sinks each) and a half kitchen (all of the normal appliances found in a kitchen except a stove and oven). There is always the oppertunity for upper classmen to live off campus in the school's appartment complex where up to four students share a 2 bedroom appartment that is fully furished and includes a full kitchen.

Agnes Scott has three different places to grab food on campus and each place accepts food plans to pay for meals during the respective meal times. The main dining hall has a long food rotation cycle which ensures that certain main dishes don't repeat too often which allows for a larger variety of options. There is always a vegetarian/vegan station and each station will list whether of not their food has gluten or dairy and whether it not it falls undert the vegan or vegatarian deits. The next largest food place has grill-styled food and is meant for students ho need a grab and go type of meal. Their food is cooked as it is order and is known for its serving speed. It also sells smaller grab and go snacks such as cereal bowls, chips, candy, and trail mix type snacks. This food option also has a freezer which sells Ben and Jerry's icecream and frozen entrees. The final food option is the school's coffee cafe which sells Starbucks coffee and smoothies as well as a variety of pastries.

Agnes Scott is located in Decatur, Georgia and is literally right across the street from downtown Decatur. There is easy acess to public transit for students with out a car. The school hosts many events free to students as well. If one wishes for a bigger setting, Decatur is less than 10 minutes from Atlanta and the colleges located in Atlanta (Emory, Georgia Tech., Spelman, ect.).

Despite Agnes Scott's hefty price tag, 90% of students have half or more than half of their tuition covered by the school. A degree from Agnes Scott looks very impressive to graduate schools and the college has a 98% accptance rate.

Agnes Scott is known for its Black Cat week which is a frendly competition between the classes to see who has the most spirit. Each class has a designated color (yellow, blue, red, or green) and a voted on mascot, both of which they keep for all four years. Various competitions such as decorations, field day, original song and dance, and dinner themes allow for the classes to earn points to determine the winner at the end of the week.

Another very import tradition is the class ring tradition. The Agnes Scott ring has not chnaged for almost 60 years. There is a large cermony and dinner that occurs when sophmores recieve their rings in their Spring semester.

Agnes Scott does not have a Greek Life.

Each stdent is equipt with an ID which enables them to get into buildings after hours. This ensures that no random people can walk around the buildings unknown. There are visable Agnes Scott police on campus 24/7 and on the back of everyone's ID is their number. Freshmen dorms require a student ID to enter them regardless of the time of day and all visitors for any student in any building must be chaperoned.

The first-year seminars are very informative. I never thought I would look at food this way. There are a lot of different FYS topics offered for first-years in order to expand the way we think and promote the way we write. The wide range of classes offered is just amazing. All of the professors are nice, and the workload is never too much.

I sincerely wish that I lived further away from Agnes Scott, so my parents would require me to go home every weekend. There are a lot of things to do, needless to say, and there is at least a fun event or two going on every month. Black Cat week was amazing, and I'm sure you prospectives will think the same when you come to it.

It is a liberal arts school, so not much on the science bits, but it does have a wide range of subjects to study. It's expensive, because they take very good care of the grass and have high-tech study rooms that students can use. They make us feel comfortable and feel like a student, rather than a number on paper.

Don't stress out and enjoy your time here. Come visit. Before I came here to look around, I had my heart set on another school, and I was definitely going to go there, but when I set foot on Agnes Scott, the cool breeze rustling through the trees and the sight of actual grass made me fall in love with this campus, and I'm sure it'll take your breath away too.

Anyone looking for a new and unique experience. I would have never considered an all-women college before, but I hardly notice the lack of male students. If you need to party, there are always GA Tech boys and parties. As for the campus, it is just enjoyable and peaceful.

this school has a diverse student body and diverse fields of study. the class size is small, so you have easy access to your professors. all in all, the school has a friendly, open feel to it.

be yourself. come prepared for strenuous classes. don't be afraid to participate in activities on campus. this is not a party school.

the classes are tough. most of them, anyway. because the class size is so small (13-20) students on average, the professors have the freedom to be thorough with their instruction, but on the same token, the professors will help you out if you need them to.

the dorms are a good size compared to other schools, but some buildings don't have a/c.

the food here is acceptable, but not really spectacular. when i can, i go off campus to eat.

go into the city, ride the train into atlanta, sunbathe on the quad.

this school is expensive, but it is absolutely worth it. it is glbtq-friendly, and the educational experience inside and outside of the classroom is unparalleled. there are also many clubs to be a part of, and all kinds of religious events on campus.

black cat! a week long celebration of sorts.

active learners, open minded observers, people who love to laugh and experience new things.

there are so many clubs to join and so many activities to participate in. from the anime club to the gaming club, to the daughters of gaia.

none. agnes believes that greek life would separate the student body.

we have an excellent public safety team on campus, and while i have never needed them, i am positive that if i did, they would be there.

Agnes is a very strong academic school for women. A beautiful campus with very friendly people. Everyone helps each other and all you have to do is ask.

keep grades up, read and study a lot but not too overwhelming.

This school is known for their academics and it is important to study and do well.

Dorms and restrooms are clean. Each student has a good amount of space.

I am a picky eater and I find the food excellent

I heard going to Atlanta is always an option for fun.

It truly is a world for women. The campus is beautiful and the people are so friendly and helpful. This is everywhere you'd want to be.

Grades, grades and more grades. keep your grades up because there are so many merit based scholarships. Definitely come take a tour and an overnight visit!

Classes can be challenging but you're typically well prepared for them.

Dorm life is pretty much what you make it. Just try to be an agreeable person, learn to give and take with your roommate.

Evans is the dining hall and it's pretty good overall. If you get tired of the norm, take a trip to Molly's, they've got burgers, fries, wraps and more. You can also stop at the Black Cat Café, they sell actual Starbucks beverages and also smoothies, service is great!

Agnes Scott actually has the perfect location for someone looking to have fun. We're right by the MARTA train station if you want to go a distance. But, Decatur square is super close, they're are great coffee places, fro-yo places and just regular restaurants.

They really try to help diminish the cost as much as possible. Just keep your grades up and work hard. The financial aid packages are awesome.

We've got Black Cat week which is our equivalent of homecoming. Freshman keep their mascots a secret from other classes 'til that week.

It takes a special young woman to be here. These young women are usually hard working,

There's something for everybody.

No sororities.

We may have an open campus, but our security is top notch. Public safety is always around and you need swipe key access for the dorms 24/7. Once campus centers and buildings are closed, the only way to get in is with your i.d.

Agnes Scott has an amazing atmosphere. The campus is beautiful. I give Agnes Scott an 8.

Take advantage of the alternative options to submitting SAT scores. Set up a visit to the school at some point in time.

Agnes Scott is very big in academics. While the classes are challenging they are definitely doable.

The dorms are nice. Some people don't like the community style but the dorms are close to everything on campus. There are options such as double and single. Residence life is amazing.

I often hear that the food is better then that of other schools. There are options for vegetarians and others with special food needs. It also tastes delicious.

With many clubs and organizations there is always something going on, on campus.

Although Agnes Scott is expensive I could not imagine myself at any other school. It is definitely worth the money.

Since we don't have a football team our homecoming week called Black Cat is a fun-filled experience. Another tradition is sophomore family week where the sophomores get rings showing that they've made it thus far.

There are a number of clubs and activities for everybody's liking.

Agnes Scott does not engage in Greek life.

The campus is extremely safe. The crime rate is low. Our officers do a very good job.
