Admissions

As many of you have heard college is NOT like high school! So just be ready to learn,and remember it is up to you!

This is a great college to go to if you like the mountains. DO NOT go here if you want to go and party all of the time. This college is in the middle of no where. The town outside of the college has very little non outdoor activities. But if you enjoy biking, hiking and camping this a great place. Oh and if your in the ROTC program make sure you keep your GPA above a 2.5

If you decide to go to North Georgia, please first know where you are going. As a military cadet, you will have hardly any freedom and you will be living in barracks - not dorms. Do not expect first class. But do expect good people, good prices, good professors, and a great education. Plus we have new apartments and the school is in the process of building new dorms, barracks, and chow hall (all before I graduate in 2013). I highly recommend NGCSU. Go Saints!

If you aren't used to studying, START PRACTICING NOW! The work here isn't a piece of cake, but it isn't impossible. If you spend at least an hour or two a day on each class, you should do great (B or higher)! Try not to procrastinate because midterms and finals are all at the same time, so teachers will all be assigning essays and projects also at the same time. Its best if you spread your work load out evenly instead of trying to frantically put together something at last minute because that will only stress you out.

Buy books online at Half.com or Ebay. Books can get quite expensive, but they are at all colleges. My friends in other colleges pay about the same I do, or more. If you don't buy them online, at least see if your book store has them used. Also, if you go to this college, I TOTALLY recommend that you use the new gym. Its amazing, and free to the students, so take advantage of it.

know where your classes are before they start.
please be respectful of reveille, taps, and retreat.

Live in the dorms. You think it will be gross and you want your own space but the time spent in one of the dorms is times missed out. You'll meet so many people at one time, friends to wave to on campus, social gatherings, clean halls and bathrooms everyday, free food, best friends and its easy to walk anywhere on campus. One of my best decisions and I miss it already!

I believe that in order to make your college career the best it can be, you should get involved as much as you can. College is the time where you really find out who you are as a person, so involve yourself with new opportunities!

Make sure to stay healthy by eating right and exercising. Otherwise, you will gain the freshman 15 like I did! Also, make sure to balance you social life, sleep and academics.
