I love Gadsden State. I am in dual enrollment and everybody I have met is so wonderful and eager to help you. There are many different programs and I like that the campus is really close together and that it's not hard to find my classes. I have also switched my major 3 different times and my advisers have been so wonderful and are so glad to help with everything I need. I recommend Gadsden State for anyone looking for a smaller campus with incredible students and staff.

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    the thing i most regret, is not jumping at my education sooner. i was always so sure i wouldn't be able to go to college because my parents were poor that i didnt bother to look into the facts. by the time i conviced myself that i was the only one that was going to make this happen, i had wasted closer to two years. i wish very much i had that time back, and with the knowledge i have now i could already be working as a Firefighter/Paramedic. After that, the thing for me to focus on would be self discipline. In those two years i was out of school i spent more than i should have spent if i wanted an education. with the thrift skills i was forced to learn and the help of scholarships, as well as fafsa, paying for tuition and books would become alot easier on my mind.

  3. What's unique about your campus?

    The most impressive thing about my school is it's ability to prepare a student for harder obstacles. By having class rooms that make feel you like you are still in high school, but challenges your mind to grow as though you are in a university. This grants you time to grow a custom to what real college classes are. My school awakens your mind to more then what it was used to before making university life less hard.
