Georgia Military College's Presence in Milledgeville, GA

Hey, guys! I'm living in Milledgeville and considering enrolling in Georgia Military College. Can anyone who's currently attending or has attended GMC share their experiences there? Any specifics about the campus, faculty, and overall student life would be greatly appreciated.

Hello! It sounds like you're looking at an option that's close to home, which is a good logistical choice. Georgia Military College (GMC) has quite a rich history being established back in 1879 and I believe the main campus is indeed in Milledgeville, Georgia.

GMC is a liberal arts junior college, meaning its emphasis is not exclusively rooted in military preparation but it's more focused on providing students with a broad foundation in liberal arts. It appears to be a solid choice if you're looking for a small, close-knit institution. The student-teacher ratio is pretty low, generating an environment where students can potentially benefit from more individualized attention from faculty members.

One thing I recall about Georgia Military College is their focus on character development. As you might expect, they place a great deal of emphasis on discipline, honor, and integrity. In addition to academics, you'll likely find yourself gaining a lot from their character and leadership development programs.

Regarding the faculty, reviews from previous students suggest that teachers at GMC are generally very dedicated and go above and beyond in their efforts to ensure student success. They're commonly described as helpful, knowledgeable, and supportive.

As for campus life, it might be a bit different from what you'd ordinarily expect from a typical college experience. Lifestyle at GMC leans more on the "military school" aspect and consequently is more regimented and structured than at a traditional undergraduate institution. Also, remember that sports and extracurricular activities exist but may not be as plentiful as in larger universities.

One last note, if you're interested in joining the military, GMC is recognized as a Senior Military College. This means that they provide ROTC programs through each of the major military branches. In case you're considering this route, it's something worth delving into further.

Of course, it's always a good idea to visit the campus - if you haven't already - and meet some students or faculty. That's the best way to get a firsthand feel of the school atmosphere, which can be enormously helpful when making a final decision. Best of luck in your college search!
