I have toured West Georgia, and I really enjoyed it. I really felt like they were working toward improving and becoming better. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful throughout the whole tour. I chose to attend the University of West Georgia because I felt like they were excited to have me there, and about growing and further improving their school. They also have many resources for students who needed help or support in any aspect of adjusting to college life.

From the moment I toured the school I felt like I belonged here. I think this school has a great overall atmosphere about it, the facilities are all top class, the residential life is a luxury itself and the programs are one of a kind. When I researched the first year programs I new I wanted to go here, because the UWG 1101 helps first year adjust to their new life on or off campus. One of my most memorable experiences is when I toured the different resident style apartments and I enjoyed that they had different help sessions for certain subjects to help us as well.
