This is a well reputation school to attend.

Brenau is a great college when referring to the professors. They are very caring and genuinely want you to succeed. The only thing that is a little annoying to me is all the hype about women empowerment. I know, why am I at a women's college, right? Besides that, the price of tuition is VERY expensive. They have great education and English programs

I loved Brenau. The communications department was amazing. I learned so much an was prepared to go out into the real world and start my career. I'm so glad Brenau was my choice.

I transfered here from a public university and after the first few weeks, I was in love. I was nervous at first but the professors and faculty all care so much. They notice when a student is new due to class sizes and they make sure you feel very welcome. I have my professors phone #s and the school is a home away from home (even though I commute)

This school is considered very prestigious; the classes are hard, but the quality of learning is AWESOME. And the girls are all very nice. I can walk around campus with no makeup on and shorts and a tshirt, and NOT CARE because its an all girl's school! North Georgia University is close by, so theres plenty of boys there if thats a problem for you!

Literally the worse place ever! Considered transferring, but everything was very disorganized and the people were very rude. Save your money and don't attend.

In the Graduate program; bad choice I made. From what I've received, this isn't the place for working adults. Everything is so unorganized from the professors to counselors. No one can make a decision without running to a dean. Choose class instead of online,treat it as a such. They're not in the fields, no real world guidance, and not helpful!

This school is not suited for working adults. Further, the professors are leased to be desired, due to condescending attitudes. Definitely don't complain, or you will experience reprisal. IT's too expensive for what you're receiving in classes. Regretted this decision and looking for another institution.

Very BORING campus. Don't waste your money on the food because the food is HORRIBLE. I have two horrible professors this semester so I question how well they choose professors. If you want to have fun, DON'T come here. If you aren't in a sorority or in a sport you're pretty much an outcast. Tuition is OBNOXIOUSLY high.

I went to brenau my freshman year and then transferred as fast as I could, along with all of my friends. Horrible school, and horrible professors. While I was there they had a kid running around campus with a gun, and failed to tell any of the students about it. Do yourself a favor and avoid brenau as much as possible.

Disorganized !!

This is a SMALL town school. If you are intimidated by large universities, you might like it. The experience at Brenau is nothing like the true college experience. It is like attending a small high school in a small town. The professors are out of touch and inexperienced.
Overall 1.3
This school is not adult with job friendly. Please compare with other schools, there's a big difference when compared to other schools. The retention is low, probably due to school and professors not being helps. Administrators done return calls, emails, etc. Cost too much. Also, its not in the Georgia school system, credits don't transfer.
Overall 1.4
In the Masters Program. Its definitely not working adult friendly. Definitely look into going to another school. Professors are not student oriented! It appears that they want ding you for their past issues in school.
Overall 1.5
Avoid this nursing school at all costs! The ELMSN program is pathetic. The professors barely teach and do not know the content. There is literally no instruction in the online classes- you pretty much pay $3,000 to cram an entire textbook by yourself in one quarter. Also, their insurance doesn't cover vaccines and titers... which are mandatory. Run
