"When I first stepped onto GSW's campus, it was peaceful, and the people were friendly. I wanted to stay even longer after Preview Day. It was honestly the perfect school, as it was within the state, and I still had a chance to become responsible."

"I was looking for a smaller college where I could have close relationships with my professors. I took one tour of GSW, and I knew that it was the place for me to be. Also, I got the chance to be part of the President Jimmy Carter Leadership Program."
