"I initially chose Middle Georgia State University because of the close proximity and the relatively low cost of tuition. However, after attending MGA for a while, I fell in love with the campus culture and the close faculty-student relationships. My initial plan was to transfer to a ‘name’ school after two years, but I realized that I was already at the best school!"
