Georgia College and State University Honors Program

College Search & Selection
1

Hello and thanks for reading my post. My dd was accepted to Georgia college and State University Honors Program. We looked at many schools in the south and she was accepted to most she applied to (Tulane, USC, CNU, SMU, NCState, Furman, Wofford, Georgia Southern). She was waitlisted at W&M College. She LOVED GCSU when she visited with my husband. She loved the size, the location (south), weather and the campus itself. She went this past December to compete for the Honors College, etc. Again, she loved her experience when she went down in December. So she was admitted in Honors Program, plus she qualifies for in-state tuition ( we live in MA) and recieved another merit scholarship from the university. She plans to rush and looking forward to the Honors College.

Here are my questions:

Please tell me all about the Honors Program. Any details would be appreciated.

What is the Greek life at GCSU like?

Any other tips, info., etc would be appreciated. Due to social media, she already has a roommate and is corresponding to her via texting, fb or whatever the kids do now. lol

Me, I love the fact that it is small and she will be in the Honors Program, plus not really know at as a “party school.”

I have several friends whose children attend GCSU and love it. Most of them turned down larger state schools because they felt at home here. They are all involved in sororities. I have not heard any negative comments about this school from any of my friends.

As Georgia residents, we just toured this school after hearing all of the rave reviews from our friends who insisted that we visit. It is now on our radar along with Furman, Wofford, UGA and Mercer. We, too, are interested in their Honors Program. My son is a junior so we are still exploring all of our options.
