The campus is actively growing and adding new undergraduate and graduate programs each year and the campus is routinely being upgraded and constructed. Campus Life is expanding as it strives to create the idyllic college experience. The city of Americus is growing as well, as new businesses actively come to town while old ones re-vamp themselves.

If you are going into the Business school at GSW and take online classes, be prepared to be on a webcam taking your test. If something happens and the connection drops, if you just press answers to try to get a decent grade you fail or if you don't and try to ask the teacher you could still fail! Not easy! Not good Teachers! Financial Aid: Attitude

Been to 3 different schools, and this is by far the worse.

The staff is HORRIBLE like everyone. It's nothing to do here. The school doesn't care about you unless you have more money to give them. The professors don't care for students and half do their job. If you're having a difficult time they just tell you to push through it or get over it. DO NOT COME HERE!!!! I became super depressed here

GSW is an affordable school. That's about it... I have lived here since I was 3 so I love the town. GSW needs to fire some professors in every department and hire some that actually care about the learning that supposedly goes on in the students. If you want to go into education DO NOT COME TO GSW!!! clinical specialists is rude and inconsiderate
Overall 1.5
If your from the city, you will hate this school!!
