This would be a good local school...certainly not a destination school. Though they do have on campus housing, the commute is good from the surrounding area. Parking could be a bit of a bother.
Though the campus is adequate and beautiful in the spring-time, the extra-curricular activities tend to be lacking. In terms of academic programs, Augusta State is trying to expand yet they have quite a ways to go. I would not recommend this college to anyone seeking a rigorous education, nor to anyone who enjoys a metropolitan city. The surrounding area is heave for golf-lovers as well as the religiously inclined.
This is a great school. It does not have any recognition outside of Augusta though. I would recommend it nonetheless. The faculty is great and the new buildings are stunning. The "college life" isn't that great. There is no on campus housing and there are a lot of older students.
