Keshon - 11/25/2023

They could do better with the extra activities and buildings, the buildings are old and broken, always got to get fixed. For instance, in my room, the doorknob fell off, the A.C. broke, the fridge and microwave broke, water was coming from under the sink and the toilet broke all in the first 2 weeks.

Kamarion - 08/02/2023

Great school needs a little more action

Ashley - 02/20/2023

Gordon State College is a fairly good school. The professors really care about their students' educations and most try to help as much as they can. The campus is very pretty and small which makes it feel very comfortable. A good amount of students, however, are the worst part about the school.
