I love this school because of the experiences I have made so far. I also love how welcoming and nice the professors and faculty are.
Overall 4.7
I love the atmosphere here. When you come here everything is laid back and the scenic Armstrong campus is just adds to the relaxed feel! Wouldnt trade it for the world. We have just merged with Georgia Southern and I hope that we dont change too much

Armstrong is a great campus, it's beautiful and small so you can make it to class in no time. The Professor to student ratio is 19:1. Dorms aren't too bad either, the food could use some help but there's a couple of great places to use your meal swipes. I've had a great experience with all of my professors, and Armstrong has TONS of social events.

So awesome and fun
Overall 4.5
This school makes you feel like family! There is TONS to do all the time, the professors care about the students and I feel safe. It is a very diverse and expecting campus where I feel everyone can be free to be themselves. There is plenty to do off campus as well! I'd HIGHLY recommend this college to anyone and everyone!

Armstrong is a great college, the people who trash talk it & are excited about the GS takeover hate it because they came here when they couldn't make it into GS. Class sizes are perfect, professors are great, everyone is very personable. You aren't just another name in a professors class. Food is not great, but plenty of restaurants off campus.

I was here ever since it was Armstrong Atlantic State University, five years ago. While it wasnt for me my first semester, its bloomed me into the well-rounded person that I am today. Each year, there were improvements. Even though the merger has took us back a little, there is a chance that well begin to flourish again, hoped soon.

Very good place to go to school. Professors are great!
Overall 4.2
This school is great. I have loved living on campus, being to walk safely on campus during the day or night, good gym facility, and access to some great studing locations. I have really enjoyed my time on campus and happy I have one more year left of school! I would highly consider this school.

The Georgia Southern take over can't come fast enough! I'm transferring because this is easier than my high school. Also, the college is really dirty--ironically none of the soap dispensers work. Professors don't know much and the classes are huge. The food is bad and the dorms look like housing projects. Armsecond rate state!

This college is ridiculously easy! It's not college--my HS was harder. I'm worried ab being able to get a decent job after graduation and so I'm transferring. Also, the buildings are really filthy. It's gross.

I'm transferring bc my high school was harder. Anyways, I visited the nursing building and it is SOOOOOOO dingy, dirty and outdated.

An academic and administrative joke. Hooray for the GSU takeover!

WAY to small.
Overall 1.8
The school has a decent campus. It's pretty clean and they are doing construction since it's now GA Southern. However, the staff is unorganized and blames things on the merging. Students have been dropped off of their schedules since the financial aid, etc. isn't being taken care of like it should.
Overall 1.8
Registrar and Fin Aid offices are awful. They blame any issues on the consolidation but they're just unorganized all around. Professors are incredibly hit or miss, with some being exceptional and some who can barely read from a power point. It's not the worst but you can't really expect more than the minimum without being disappointed.
Overall 1.9
Financial aid department is horrendous. Little to no help EVER. Got over 100 dollars in parking tickets for a technical error on their side and took almost a week to clear up after multiple threats to tow me. Professors are allowed to do as they please and have no consequences. Relatively clean and quiet campus though. Confusing administration.

Georgia Southern only merged with Armstrong to benefit the sports programs (none of which are on Armstrong campus). The told old Armstrong students they could still obtain an Armstrong Diploma; well they lied. Unfortunately, it was a merge that did not benefit Armstrong or its students. Should have stayed in Statesboro and left us alone.
