A great school in a wonderful location! Grateful for all four years of my time at Piedmont. I learned so much here not only academically, but personally. The professors care about their students, and the class sizes definitely help solidify the tight knit environment. This school was incredibly influential in my life.

Loved this school. I was really challenged here to look at the world in a different way. The opportunities I had here opened so many doors for me. I'm a young professional in the industry I wanted - all because Piedmont paved the way.

Great school, if you like a small town vibe. Everyone knows everyone, and that can be a good or a bad thing. Only downfall is since it is private, tuition is extremely pricey, even with multiple scholarships. Some professors are better than others, but overall, Ive enjoyed many teachers at this campus. Would recommend to anyone willing to pay.

Word. 1. If having a social life is not high on your list of priorities (because there is nothing to do here!) and 2. If you seek a college experience that is more like high school ---- then Piedmont College in Demorest, Georgia would be the perfect school for you. I am going to finish my degree at another school.

Beware. There is nothing to do near the campus in Demorest. For good restaurants and fun stuff, you have to go all the way to Atlanta which is almost an hour away. The school is mediocre and too expensive in my opinion. But the class sizes are small so you may be able to get more help from your teachers if that is what you are looking for.

Really didnt like this school. I would definitely recommend anywhere else unless you like not having good advisors, difficulty registering (Stoneage style), and kissing peoples butt in order to get into the classes you need. TRANSFERRED!!!!I am now amazed at what a real college is like, and enjoy the college life.
