I chose to attend GSW because of its strong sense of community and the opportunities it offers for personal and academic growth.
The people here at GSW are what makes this place so special. Everyone is welcoming and wants to help each other in any way. I am able to be a successful college student because of the people who have mentored me, worked with me, and care about my success.
GSW picked me, chose me, loved me. From my very first encounter with GSW staff, I knew my needs and wants would be listened to and heard.
I initially chose GSW because of its affordability and closeness to home. However, I found that GSW was the right place for me due to the tight-knit community that exists here which made me feel at home.
GSW’s Chemistry program has provided me with an excellent educational experience inside and outside of the classroom that shaped me into a better person.
GSW is so special because of the small campus and how easy it is to make friends. Even in big classes, the faculty truly cares and there are plenty of campus activities to help develop relationships with fellow students and classmates.
