Gordon State College - Barnesville (GA)

5 /5 Cool Ppl: Thank you lord!! This day have finally came. My son is in college, he bust his but in high school and now things are about to pay off. This is a great school, Ive done my research on this place and even though its small, they have a big heart!! Today we still had to sign papers and everyone that we encountered was very friendly and helpful and I really appreciate that. My son will fit in, hell he has no choice, his old room is now my workout room! Gordon College is a great school, dont sleep on them.

5 /5 Amanda Haynie: Gordon is fantastic. It is beautiful and well cared for. The staff is really a bunch of sweet hearts, in my years here I have NEVER come across one that didnt feel like coming to work that day. They are never condescending and are always helpful. I think they are very choosy who they put in the offices like financial aid, business, registrars etc. I cant say enough good things about them, even when you feel like you are asking too much or being ignorant, they are pleasant. I love the classic college feel but apart from the big city, its perfect and unlike high school i have a ton of school pride!

2 /5 Winks: My experience wasnt bad but it wasnt good either and if I had to choose which was more it would be bad. For me I was continuing my education and already had 1 degree from another school so I was already familiar with how the process works. Getting enrolled to start was horrible. Had to take a vacation day from work just to come sit at an unnecessary orientation just because it was policy. Was forced to "check a box". Complete waste of my time. Getting in touch with anyone on the phone in any office other than financial aid was nearly impossible and a few times had to drive down just to get answers to simple questions. The classes them selves were hit or miss. At the time I attended, the online classes were poorly structured and nearly everyone had near failing grades. The only good note I have is for the in person classes I took. Those were pretty good and the teachers were good people. There were some staff there that generally wanted to help but its 50/50. Everything considered its probably a really good place for young students fresh out of high-school living on campus but if youre a working parent forget about it.

5 /5 Miranda Mann: Great school. The teachers and staff are awesome, and they’re always willing to help. As others have said before, parking is the only issue. The main parking lot requires walking up a steep hill. I’m not handicapped, but I have asthma and that hill kills me.

5 /5 Gladys Sanabria: I sat with professors and the students of Gordon State College for the New Student Orientation with my son. Although I am from Cambridge, MA where people from all over the world come to further their Education at Top Universities such Harvard, MIT, and Radcliffe. I pretty much grew up in Harvard as a child and teenager. What I experienced at Gordon College made me feel like a child again amongst our future World Leaders. Gordon State College, is a small campus filled with Exceptional Individuals whom truly care for all. Although its not my son path to go into college. Gordon made me feel Like I am now ready to continue my education with them. As a returning Student/ Mama.. So since my son wants to explore life, I will now return to college.
