The teachers here are great and really care about their students learning the required material. They teach their classes in a way that ables the student to take it with them, instead of just trying to pass and get out. The staff will go above and beyond to help you in any way needed whether it be advisement, financial aid, tutoring or really anything. Security here is also great, the officers circle around capus all the time and will offer help if they see that it is needed. They are not afraid to get out of their cars and walk around either. I am an older person trying to catch up with the younger generation at this college and I am not alone. There are many people here of all ages and nationalities and everyone seems to fit in rather well. Gwinnett Tech offers many clubs and activities for those who are interested and have time, otherwise they have short term activities available for those who are more time sensitive but still like to be involved. Over all Gwinnett Tech is a great place to Learn and further one's education.

The worst. Gwinnett Tech makes Georgia State look like the best school in the nation! "One Stop Shop" is a JOKE--the help manning the "Admissions"/"Registrar" counters are Special Ed cases.... avoid gwinnett tech @ all costs!! The cheap tuition is not worth it! __y_o_u__ _h_a_v_e__ _b_e_e_n__ _w_a_r_n_e_d_
