I chose to attend Georgia Southwestern because of the at-home feel. When I came to Preview Day, I fell in love with the campus and the environment. Everyone that I interacted with that day seemed as if they cared about my well-being and success throughout my college career. I was also informed about the small student-to-faculty ratio, which was one of my deciding factors.
