Quick Overview:

The word from: the Students

Agnes Scott students have a very close relationship with their teachers, very available and helpful, making it feel like a very personal experience and actually making it better and more comfortable to study in. A friendly environment which helps to strengthen teachers and students interactions. As for the classes themselves they're engaging and really push students to think critically about the subjects and not just memorize facts. Even though the school is a bit small and thus unable to provide some courses, it's all balanced by offering reading courses and independent studies. Agnes Scott can be challenging but given the support students get it's possible to succeed.

Its proximity to Atlanta helps in finding entertainment and activities outside of the school, like shopping, visiting museums and most importantly part time jobs, which the city has plenty.

Besides these activities the campus offers plenty of student activities, various kinds of celebrations and general gatherings for student interaction. Since its student body is so diverse ethnically, there doesn't seem to exist a typical Agnes Scott student, but of course small groups still exist but when it comes to campus wide events they're united. There's a tendency for a left political ideal, quite liberal and idealistic.
