    I grew up around that area and had a few friends go there. It was like 13th grade for my high school. (West Hall) If you have hope and go somewhere else I would though. Don't live at home if you're a tradional freshman live on your own in a dorm at least. It's way more fun. I lived in Gainesville and went to KSU and just moved to Kennesaw without knowing anybody and I'm glad I did. Just my 2 cents.

    I'm currently attending Gainesville right now. It's a community college so there's nothing really special about it, but if you have Hope you basically go to school for free. Actually, with my Pell grant + Hope, the school pays me $1000/semester with the left over grant money. The campus is pretty nice for a community college, but if you're thinking about a community college you should also consider Perimeter since they are basically the same. As 1439/2000 mentioned, it is basically like 13th grade, except you don't have to deal with all the bullshit you experience in high school.

    thats the best way to do it. i transfered to gainesville from a larger school, personally i like it better, course this summer i'll be off to nrth ga. hes right though, there isnt much to do out here so you gotta make your own fun.

    bwahhaha you thought Gainesville was just in Athens?

    Hmm maybe the main campus in Gainesville/Oakwood makes more sense.

    No I know that the main campus is in oakwood im not that stupid I just thought they were talking about athens, and plenty to do over 21, because there are 70 + bars in a five mile radius here, no i did not think that.

    not to mention there are LOTS of students from the atlanta area at gainesville in oconee. thanks for making me look like an idiot.

    The one in oakwood/gainesville does. You just have to pay alittle extra or just a deposit incase your pet chews stuff up.
