I have transferred between three schools so far (EGA included) and this has to be the worst school I've ever had the displeasure of dealing with. The Student Affairs office is one room with a bunch of people working in it that don't want to do their jobs. They consistently lose documents that are sent to them and, even when they do have all of your documentation, they seem keen on blowing off their jobs and doing nothing. They use the excuse that they are so unbelievably busy, but every time I've been into that office, they are doing nothing or away from their desk. Getting accepted was a hardship, simply because I had to submit my transcripts three different times, then had to drive THREE hours to hand delivery a copy because it somehow went missing THAT often. For how much I pay to attend this school, I should get less of a headache than I do. If you're able to, take your business elsewhere. There are other schools that will be happier to take the thousands of dollars they get paid in tuition and they will do it without the massive stress migraine that East Georgia State College will give you. This school is a level of hell that is on par with going to the DMV or getting a root canal.
I've not had one issue transferring to East Georgia. I attended the Statesboro, G.A location and was a bit worried when turning in documents as they were sent to Swainsboro, Ga for the final processing. I read a review below of someone who said they lost documents, however not one of mine went missing. The staff at the Statesboro Office is incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. I took the Compass testing at the Swainsboro location, and everyone seemed to be on top of their job. I'm considered an out of state student this semester, so tuition is a bit pricey but for in-state its pretty cheap. All stars for the Statesboro location is Jessica, Ben, John and Mrs. Murphree. If you're taking Algebra, be sure to take Mr. Drummer. He's a super cool guy and really knows his stuff. Those who are on staff in Statesboro who weren't mentioned are just as helpful and totally rad!
I was very impressed with the fact that they took the time to call me. They just need to have certain staff members in the Student Affairs office get it together organization is key to success with so many students.
Best bookstore ever.

The campus in Swainsboro looks great everything seems to be well taken care of if they continue to work on getting the organization issue fixed with they will probably be a much more lucrative school not everybody is so determined to take core classes at a school they almost always have to transfer from to get a degree at all that doesn't give out transcripts efficiently so it does matter. But thank you for the call since Ms. Janet took her time with me I decided to take my time and up my review.
I previously criticized the lack of EGA getting transcripts together but they called me back and I don't want to leave such a harsh review because their are many other people here that do their jobs well.
