I chose to attend GSW because it has a small teacher-to-student ratio, so I knew I could form more practical relationships with my peers and professors.
Because the department was so small, I really developed relationships with my faculty, advisors and peers in a way that I know I wouldn’t have been able to experience anywhere else. The quality of the education I received due to the small size of our department is invaluable.
