Georgia Perimeter College

Excellent Asian foreign language department. Great kids, calm and friendly atmosphere!!!

I like to study here. They have a good support for students, the price is reasonable, the campus is clean and well maintained. The location is good also, since is out of major Atlanta traffic. Sometimes parking can be bad but you can always find a spot. I had good professors so far, Mr. Kendrick for ESL is great, Mrs. Cunningham for PHED, Mrs. Younkins for PSYCH and Mrs. Jacobs for ENGL are the best ones, Mr. Siler for CRJU is also a great teacher, doesn’t have much organization regarding class but he does make class interesting.

1.)fill out every box on the app else get bounced to“out of state“tuition status. Which is incredibly difficult, tricky, time consuming to get out of.2.)financial aid office is your friend.Seriously.Know who to go to get your stuff handled (Ms.Clay Rocks!!)3.)be patient4.)try to get assignments done a few days in advance if at all possible. This will cut your stress level down enormously, especially if you work.5.) Make friends and make a positive impression on staff. You will need them. I promise you will.6.)Library closes promptly at 9:45pm and Learning Tutoring Center at 9pm (Use them they’re great)7.)Lunchroom:Jay is going to be your «go to» guy. Best chef. Good memory. Very nice.The professors and the seniors know this, I have watched. 8.)always make friends with a few seniors for good advice. Get their numbers and text questions.
You’d be surprised the answers.9.)Rate my professor and seniors will give you the best professors for each class. Just ask in advance.

Well this Dunwoody Campus is the nicest out of all of them. I have never been to the others but Dunwoody is always clean and pretty. The security guards are always doing their job to make the traffic go by quicker in the busy times. I really do like how the campus is set up. Everything is grouped together in certain buildings. You can ask teacher or staff for help on something and they are always more than happy to help you. The people here are always smiling and the college students seem to be happy, unlike other colleges I have been too. Im glad I chose Georgia Perimeter!

I love and appreciate GPC since I have been a student here for the past two years, but it never fails every semester that I have to go to the financial aid office for one thing or another. And the staff in there is always SUPER RUDE. I don’t understand why they feel they have a right to have attitudes with prospect student trying to pay the school thousands of dollars each semester to better themselves and the society that we live in. Anyways, the ladies in the financial aid office must really dislike their job because they have consistently talked down to me and been unhelpful and aloof with every visit.

Pros– Awesome online classes which are very flexible and educational. I have had some of the most caring, professional professors. I wouldn’t have an online degree experience any other way.
Cons– the admissions and registration process in the beginning were a pain, very disorganized and unprofessional in terms of updating records and responding to concerns in a timely manner.
Overall good school for busy professionals and parents needing to pursue higher education to better themselves.
I also like the TAG program.

I start my first classes in the fall! I can’t wait, so far they have been very helpful, caring, and willing to help me get started and apart of the GPC community! My mother went to this campus in the 90’s and joined their dental program. She went on to being a very great and skilled dental hygienist! Can’t wait to start and hopefully I have the same great experience. I’m not sure how it will be since they are merging with georgia state this year but I will definitely come back and update everyone on that! Wish me luck

This school takes very long time to enroll and the administers only care about getting associate degree program. They will not help you throughout the registration. They make you go back and fort because that’s just how well they’re organized. Rather than letting you know what’s needed at once. The financial aid takes at least 2months because they ask you to bring required forms one by one as they face problems. The traffic is the worst here because of securities directing traffic when policemen are doing their job. Securities are the most rudest people here when driving your car. They always block one of the exit, which creates traffic within the school. When this is bad, it takes around 20 minutes to just get out of the campus. One of the worst school I have ever had. I will not recommend this school for anyone. It get worst as you take some of the classes. Some professors can’t help you despite it’s his or her class. They tell you not to plagiarize, but some instructors are plagiarizing off someone else’s work from the Internet. I feel bad for the teachers who really are good at teaching.

I took a pre calculus class at the Dunwoody campus & thought it was really good. Due to their current financial problems, Friday classes are no more
Since Friday class was my only real world option, I had to go the online route for Calculus.
GPC online is absolute garbage.
its a jumble of links to streaming wmv (who knew it still existed) videos.
There are actual lectures that relate to the text, done by Sandi Hitchcock (not my instructor), which are quite good. If only they were in a standard format that non-​Windows (windows folks might have trouble too) users could pause & rewind, like every other video in the world online.
Then there’s the jumble of lectures or whatever that are from other texts… and other lectures by a few other random ppl.
Lots of dead links and incomplete materials. One is probably better off going to Khan Academy for instruction & using the text for homework. I waste most of my time attempting to watch the lectures. It can take all day
a one hour wmv video without it crapping out & having to. start all over again. It happens on all my devices.
The wimba thing would be really cool at the end of the 90s as would Webassign, where one has access to a ridiculous «multimedia» online version of the text, which is weird at best and really should be modified and sold as the ebook version. I’ve been printing out each section of the book (another crap ebook text by James Stewart’s publisher).
Homework is done as, sometimes goofy, fill-​in the blank in webassign & is easiest done, printed out, done by hand & entered all at once. Webassign homework does not cover all topics that need to be known… yeah, so why are they bothering?
For a four credit class, two straight forward lectures per week, in a standard online streaming format, and homework practice problems to be turned in at the end of each chapter would suffice.
Don’t bother with gpc online if you can avoid it.

Horrible! I was never sent an acceptance letter, the only way I found out I was accepted was a letter reminding me to hurry up and register for classes 6 days before the first day of classes. I had 6 days to get registered, books etc. Then all of my records were in my maiden name not a huge deal til two of my teachers failed me at the end of the semester because they thought the student with my maiden name and married name were 2 different people yet it’s the same student Id. I college is always messed up. I ended up having to taken exam THREE times and that’s only because I had to call the department chair b/​c the teacher didn’t believe that icollege logged me out halfway thru. Financial aid changed my fafsa and made it so I was I not eligible to receive pell grant yet when I spoke to fafsa and the dept of education they both said that I filled it out correctly and that the school was wrong to change it. I called back to resolve this issue and no answer. I went to campus and the girl playing with her nails at the desk said that no one there could help me, «just check the status online or send an email, have a nice day bye». I will not ever go to this school nor will I recommend it to ANYONE.
The only nice thing I can say about this school is that I had two really good teachers my last semester. Dr. Carl for hist 2111 and Ms. Hendricks for pre cal.

Last time I was here, years ago, it resembled a run down high school. I went back the other day to see about taking some classes, and its transformed. It looks great on the inside, more modern and contemporary. I cant comment on the classes yet, since its been too long since I was last here, but as soon as I get an idea I will definitely post an update to mention them as well. Im off to bigger and better things!

One of the nicer campuses of gpc. I think like most perimeter students (I imagine professors too), we bounce around from campus to campus to get the classes we need. If you’re just starting out, it’s a 2 year university, much cheaper than other state universities, but the credits earned aren’t inferior. This campus is a bit weird to get out of, since you have to circle the university to get to an exit (well, I do anyway), and after 5pm, traffic can be a beast, but I like this campus, it’s cleaner labs, and the geese that are always grazing at the entrance
