What Students Are Saying
While currently attending Georgia Health Sciences University (now known as Georgia Regents University), I can that I am more satisfied with the professors, education, and knowledge gained from this university than I anticipated. Previously I had mediocre satisfaction with college but this school, especially their Allied Health department, has exceeded my expectations. This is an amazing school with a lot to offer!
