Garrett College provides newly-graduated high school students with a nice and smooth transition into college life. While there is a lack of some of the common college activities, such as sorority/fraternity groups, football team, etc., there are plenty of other groups and sporting teams that are available to students. The campus is very clean and provides students with a safe, comfortable area to study and hang out with other students. There are wonderful faculty members that are available to help students with any issues or concerns they may be having. The campus is rather small, but the class sizes are also small, so it is never overcrowded. Overall, Garrett College is a very chill and welcoming school that allows students to work towards their degree in a fun and fresh manner.
Overall this is a great school! Most of the facility contributed to my success while attending. The only reason I am giving three stars is because the housing situation. During COVID-19 the female to male ratio on the campus was very different. So I do not recommend living on campus as a young woman at this time. I also feel I have experienced discrimination as a woman by the RA Life Manager and I am not the only one to attest to this, other female students who work closely with the RA Life Manager said they too have felt uncomfortable about how he has handled some situations. I have heard opinions from male students also agreeing to the fact that the RA Life Manager can be "sexist". So if you are sending your daughter off to college I would just be mindful of this.
Where do I begin ? Garrett College is a great institution to begin your higher education. The class ratios are very reasonable, on-on-one time with professors are available. The college's help centers are always dependable students use them to their advantages. Most professors are very flexible with office hours they are available to help. Campus life is vibrant there are usually a number of different events going on throughout each semester. The school has provided tutoring in the residence halls that has been the best thing all year. The students are very eager to learn, and we value our education. Procrastination may come upon us, but we always complete our assignments. Garrett College is a place where students excel !
It's a great school. The professors help you if you ask; with it being such a small college you really get that one-on-one time with your professors. They are here to see/help you succeed in your two years. It's in a very rural area so having a car is extremely recommended!

Through college, I have learned much about myself as a person. So often, the worlds of higher education are accused of making their students conform to a certain way of thinking. While this exists in any experience throughout life, I wouldn't find this to especially be the case with higher learning. What I have found is that college has taught me speak for myself. I have learned to express what I feel with tact and, in the right circumstances, without inhibition. College provides students with a safe, stable environment for them to test their interests, and I have found this has helped me to develop creatively. So college has been a value for me to attend because an intellectual and adventurous side of myself has been discovered that might otherwise go unnoticed. College has not given me a distaste for education, but has instead helped me realize and cherish the importance of knowledge. Through mentors in colloege, I plan on pursuing my dreams and aspirations to the fullest.
It is the only college in my area. It is best known for letting Garrett County residents go to college free for two years.
It has a rural basis, yet they utilize this location as a benefit--offering unique degree programs that cater to unique interests of students who find themselves here.
The staff are ready and waiting to help the excelling students to achieve at a high level. I have been offered a plethera of opportunities, by professors, to take my learning and personal growth to the next level. This is all made possible by the small and personal classes.
I have had several bad experiences while being here. Some of the administration seems to not want to help students as much as they should. I have dealt wit alot of confusion there and thats why I would like to go elsewhere now.
Someone who has an interest in the outdoors and wants to escape the confines of modern cities. This school offers unique oppertunities for development and learning that should interest students who want a college experience that is small and hands on.
The level of academic expectancy is a little below my level. I would personally like to be pushed to or beyond the limits of my personal abilities in order to have maximum intellectual growth. Most of the courses at Garrett College did not present themselves as a great challenge to me.
