They have amazing instructors. They have friendly staff members. They always go above and beyond what is expected to help any student that needs help with any certain thing.

I'm not exactly sure if we even have dorms since its a low key community college.

There isn't much to do on campus as far as for fun but that is because this isn't a stay on campus type place. Most if not all the students who attend here live elsewhere as in their parents house, their own house, etc. It is still a great place to be though.

The campus police here are great. They are always riding around the buildings and making sure everything is how it should be.

Yes I am learning a lot, the instructors are wonderful, they take the time to explain things to you if you ask.

I do enjoy my time here, sometimes I feel like I live here. (smile) I have gotten to know security, other workers because I see them daily., and everyone has a friendly attitude.

The cost is good and you can make monthly payments. The college will work with you, regarding grants,financial aid and loans if it applies to your studies.

To have faith in God. All things are possible with God!! You're never to old to go back to school.

To All Students Going to Gaston College God Bless.

The staff is super helpful there. The campus atmosphere is really calm and the campus itself is really convenient. Great school!

Sign up for FAFSA and work study, even if you think you wouldn't receive it. For classes, just complete your assignment and you won't fail. Also, take the opportunity to take some online classes. Last, but not the least is try the butterfinger coffeee! Its awesome!

It really depends on what classes you take. I barely passed Anatomy and Physiology! Almost died.

Unfortunately there are no dorms! Fortunately, my house is really close by--like fifteen minute drive.

A thousand times better than high school! The prices are reasonable and the coffee is great.

Join a club!

For COFFEE! I am obsessed with the coffee here!

Those who don't know about their careers and those low in cash.

The campus is safe and convenient. You'll be fine!

A good school that has really great teachers.
The content of the courses are on point.
Would recommend to anyone wanting to get a two year degree.

If you have classes especially when the semester begins always get there almost an our early. If you don't you will not be able to find much if any parking near where you need to be at for your class.
Some of the counselors are not very good at their job, but there are some that are amazing.
Also, I would like to beware that if you get some scholarships, for instance the NC Educational Lottery, you may not get all of the money that was originally promised to you.
Be aware that if you use financial aid to not use all of it at Gaston even if you change your major. I would highly recommend that if you are just wanting to transfer to another college to get a Associates in the Arts or Sciences.

You are challenged at Gaston depending on the teacher that you get. I like the workload that I have had so far at Gaston. Some classes can be very frustrating, like Philosophy 240. Overall, I love how the school is all about you and your academics( instead of viewing you as a paying consumer).

There are no dorms at Gaston College. But I suspect this to be the type of institution it is, and the people that go here either have their own place or live with their parents.

The cafeteria at Gaston College is delicious. If by some chance someone does not like the food there at the college, there are food places that are nearby the school.

There isn't too much to do at Gaston, but joining a club may solve that problem. Gaston College does have a good bit of clubs, and most of them are pretty easy to get in to.

This college is a good idea if you are just wanting to obtain an Associates degree and move on to a four year or university.

There are various clubs.

The campus police are amazing. If anything happens, all that needs to be done is call the campus police and they will be there in a jiffy.

If you are in a program, the experience can be fantastic. Currently I am enrolled in a program and it feels like an exclusive club. The instructors are excellent and will help me with anything, including helping me find a career after graduation.

Get to know your advisers and be open and honest about your situation. Most of the time if a problem arises they are able to help you if they are aware.

Does not apply

I've never eaten on campus, but the options around the campus are many and some places even offer a discount to students. There are vending machines in most of the buildings on campus.

The mall and movie theater isn't far from the campus.

The computer labs in the science building is never as packed or as loud as the ones on the main campus.

I am learning a bunch of new things hear at Gaston. Although there are some basic things that I already knew.

Online Classes allow you to study from the comfort of your home, or you can go to classes on campus, and with three campuses that is not a problem finding a campus near you.

Tuition is very low. I have been able to stay out of debt, and most people should be able to stay out of debt at Gaston.

Study, and work hard.

All people who want to get a higher education in the Gastonia-Lincolnton Area.
