Overall, I believe that this school is just another average college. One big exception to this comment is that the housing is much better than any I have seen on other college tours. As for the sports program, i think that it is better than most other colleges in Georgia, especially for sports such as cross country, which is what i am looking into, and soccer. One big con though, is this school's size. It is very school, and coming from a high school that has almost the same student population, it would be better if it was a little better. The college town is very small as well, and you would have to drive farther if you wanted to go to the mall or the movies. Although this college has a nice campus and beautiful, student-friendly buildings, it is too small and is not necessarily very geared towards the major that i am interested in which is music.
