I LOVE Darton! it's great here, really chill and everyone is friendly. The staff and professors are very understanding and willing to work with you. The classes are easy if you do your work and study. Sucks we merged with ASU; however, this campus is still great!

I'm about to graduate and im so glad I came here. This campus is know for medical and nursing majors but i am a political science major and the opportunities are still amazing. The clubs are really well funded so a bunch of them take trips and such. Student center has bowling, pool and video games and when that gets boring Albany has stuff to do.

Great campus

I am a Non-Traditional student and due to my age I was expecting to feel somewhat alienated. The younger students treated me just like one of them! I made some great friends this semester! The school is super nice, very clean and has a lot to offer for a school of this size. I had a great first semester and expect several more!

Love it at Darton! Its very multicultural here, one of the few places in Georgia where people of all races get along. The academics are great! Classes are not too difficult but still give your the opportunity to learn a lot. Plenty of events on campus; musicians are always here! I transferred here from ABAC and it is just a world of difference.

Not very good experience with the staff. When you call to recheck your fiancial aid or registration it's hard to get someone to answer and when you leave a message noone returns the call. They need to pay more attention in that area.

I had several frustrating experiences with Darton. I found the staff to be abrupt and unhelpful. Even when I went to the administration with a valid concern, I was treated with disrespect. The dean of science, who I was directed to for help with a difficult biology class, did a lot of talking but did not acknowledge my concerns.
