Reviews

I started attending this school the semester after I graduated high school and believed that it was relatively easy. The first semester, based on what you take, is a big review of high school. I did learn some new things but most of it was a reminder.

The campus was very pretty. They just now rebuild a new building that is where the bookstore is and where kids hang out. The reason I did not enjoy being here was because it didn't have the college feel. Although, it is a community college!

I believe you get a great deal for going to this college. You are basically paying less than half of what other people are paying to go to a state school and learn the same thing.

Become involved in activities that excite you. Be assertive in making friends because in college, no one is making you create a community for yourself. Get to school early enough to find a good parking spot, or any parking spot at that.

Homebody's, Likes smaller crowd setting, Likes to get school done and get off campus, Likes a very diverse setting, and someone looking for a cost effective college.

I learned a great deal. From experience I had some wonderful, weird yet interesting teachers. LOL!!! In college period, regardless of 2 year or 4 year, you will learn a lot. For those of you who make the best out of your college experience. It is also best that you take notes and get familar with your professors. I.e, their methods of teaching, what they tolerate and going above the call of duty. Pays off in the long run.

At first I didn't enjoy being at GPC due to the fact I felt I should've been enrolled at a University. : P. Yet I can say looking back that it helped shape who I am today. What did I know then, I was only 18. Didn't really feel I got the college experience that I wanted. Since its a community college.

A plus for those who may not be ready for the $15,000+ tuition, that you would get at a 4 year. In state students save a lot. Example, a semester I was $1,117. Talk about savings!!!!

It will feel like a review (for those of you who paid attention in high school) with some of the courses you take. Yet don't slack off just because you know the information. You can easily fall behind in class especially in college. Teachers don't give you scantrons, you will have to buy them from the vending machine (I know it's a bit much). All teachers aren't the same *key. Make friends, get involved, GPC ALWAYS have something going on so participate.

Students who are preparing to transfer to a 4 year instituition. Difficult Nursing Program, Dental Assisting and Associate Degree.

GPC is a great school for non-traditional students. I don't feel like I stick out as a student in my 30s. Also, they offer a [credit] transfer admission guarantee program for when I transfer to my next school to complete my degree.

Get invovled! There are so many different organizations and clubs at GPC, there is bound to be one that fits. Employers take into account how a student is involved as well as academic performance.

College is hard, any way you slice it. But smaller classes at GPC making learning it a little easier and more personal. It's a lot more realistic to get help from the professor in a class of 30 versus 300.

No dorms here....

The college cafe has decent food and there is vending everywhere on campus. I like that the vending machines take cards because I never have cash! :)

It is certainly more cost effective to take at least core courses at GPC. They are the same courses a student must and will take at any college, except it's greatly reduced tuition.

Non-traditonal, foreign exchange/transfer, and students that aren't entirely sold on the college route yet. ;)

A lot of the work is review from high school, but don't let that get to you. The professors move at a fast pace and they expect you to keep up. They have no mercy, even if this is your first semester in college. It's easy to make friends here, and you will meet people from every part of the world and of every age.

I enjoy my time at Perimeter, more or less. I had my choice of several other schools, but I could not afford them so I was stuck with GPC. In the long run, I know I made the better decision instead of taking out a loan. There's not a college feel to it, but there's always something to do.

DEFINITELY. There's no way that you can find a better deal. It's a great plan for someone who plans to transfer to a 4 year school (like me). Take your prerequisites or get an associate and transfer out. They even have the TAG with many schools in Georgia and even a few out of state. That TAG will save you! The money that you could be spending to learn the same things you would be at another 4 year university will be in your pocket.

Stay on top of things, stay organized with dates. Go to class! You won't have massive lecture halls to hide in, the class sizes are very small. Make friends with the people around you, it makes things a lot easier. Keep an open mind when you talk to people. Your classmates are the most diverse you can imagine, ranging from age to ethnicity to background. Everyone has a story to tell, listen to them.

Cash-strapped students, those with a family, looking to meet a diverse crowd, focused on education and education only

Experiencing it for the first semester was great. I am doing much better in college than I did in high school so it is better.

The campus I am currently at is nice and quiet on most days and lively on campus on some days.

Since I do not have much money at the moment, it has help me by being good price on the tuition and on my books.

Just because it is a 2 year college does not mean you can slack off. Its still college and it needs to be taken seriously.

Anyone who needs a way to go to college and won't have to worry as much when it comes to tuition costs.

I am making all good grades and the classes are interesting.

The teachers are very helpful and it's nice to stay to close to home. It's a good way to transition from high school to college.

The cost is the best part about perimeter. You can get all your core classes done at a fraction of the cost of other colleges and universities. Then once finished with your associates degree at Perimeter, the credits are easily transferred a larger school of your choice.

If you want to save money and want to do well in school with out all the distractions of a large university, this is the place for you.

Do your work. Respect your teachers. Get involved in as many extra curricular activities as possible.

If you pay attention and attend class regularly, you will learn.

Join activities, get involved, make friends.

Students who don't wont to attend a four year but still want a semi college experience, an education and a degree.

Georgia Perimeter is a great school for all students especially if your transitioning from High School to College. Georgia Perimeter College offers a great atmosphere to test the waters before plunging into a university setting (often with higher tuition rates). For me Georgia Perimeter has built my confidence by having great teachers who interact with their students and provide one on one attention.

A few tips I would enjoy giving to prospective students is if you don't know the answer to a question you have, ask someone. There is always guidance out there you just have to take charge and obtain it. Attending Georgia Perimeter College, I have gained mentors that will be there for a life time. Just remember to come ready to learn, also stay focused, don't be afraid to network, ask many questions, and build professional relationships with your advisors and professors.

The Bang for the Buck for me has to be the learning and tutoring center.

Has great security

Georgia Perimeter College is an affordable alternative to big-name universities that offers a great education nonetheless. It's conveniently located to many standbys and has easy access to the Metro system for commuters.

Apply early. Do not postpone any documents missing, and don't be afraid to ask for advice considering any questions you might have.

Professorial are strict, and let the student know that right off the bat. The workload is heavy at times, but never to the point that the student wants to give up entirely. Encouragement is key.

Do not have a dorm yet, but they appear reasonably priced and conveiniantly located.

There are a few local eateries near the Dunwoody campus, but most of the best restaurants are located further in Atlanta.

There are always a plethora of events happening in downtown Atlanta, so quick access to the Metro means plenty of opportunities for fun outside of the college. Also, there are frequent activities occurring around campus, meaning there's rarely a dull moment. White Water Rafting? Yes. On-Campus Water Slides? Yep. Hiking and movie nights? Yes.

Classes are affordable, and there are financial aid options directly from the college.

Even for a new student stepping on campus for the first time, the activity level of Clubs was immediately noticeable. There are a wealth of options for students to join and activities to participate in throughout the year.

In my short time here, I have not seen much in the way of Greek Activities and the like.

The Dunwoody Campus has a dedicated Campus safety building, which watches over the student body to ensure the well-being of the students. Officers are well mannered and often can be seen engaging with the students. All in all, a safety conscious college!
