I am currently attending the College of Coastal Georgia (use to be Coastal Georgia Community College) and I love it. The new 4 year college is now offering Bachelors and Masters degree classes for all students who are seeking an higher degree in a specific field. The tuition is pretty cheap as a full-time student and it is an accredited college. The college is in the process of rebuilding all of the buildings in sections, along with a new student center and cafeteria. The printing is free, the advisors are helpful, and the student activities are fun. This may not be a huge 4 year college, but within a couple of years it will be booming. You will receive a great education from this institution and hands on experience.
Ok, the very big pro (in my opinion) of this college is the free printing in the computer lab. I thought this feature was nice when I was there, but since I've transferred to a different school (after I graduated from CGCC) I didn't know how great it actually was. At my current school, students have to bring their own paper to print in a computer lab. Not only that, they have a 100 page limit to print! If a student goes over that limit, they have to purchase a card in the bookstore to continue printing in the computer labs. So CGCC's free printing and paper in computer labs is a total plus.
Also, the campus is decent. Since it's small, everything is within a nice walking rage. All teachers are very nice, but some tend to be a bit picky about their tests.
The one thing I have to complain about is this: advisors don't always tell students that they have to apply for graduation one semester before they are suppose to graduate. I found this out by chance and saved myself, but a friend of mine found out a bit too late, which was a shame. But in the end, she got things sorted out.
There isn't a food court or cafeteria on the campus, but a few nice places to eat relatively near the college.
Classes are cheap! This is a good school to go to if you live in the area, since there are no dorms and commuting would be maybe a pain.
About a third of the students at Washington and Lee University still receive some financial aid from interest on an endowment set up by George Washington in 1796.
