Agnes Scott College

Pros: hardwood floors, huge rooms, tower rooms with bay windows
Cons: again, the lobby is nicer than anyplace you'll ever live

Look at the picture at the top of this page! That is the Main Tower! This is the building where I lived my junior year!


Yes, I spent my Junior year on the fourth floor of Main. Main is the large building with the bell tower. The...

Pros: Focus on academics, small class sizes
Cons: Not for those who wish to major in beer bashes

I attended Agnes Scott College for four years and graduated with a double-major in French and Psychology. At the time I attended ASC, there were about 500 students at the school, the college is now growing towards an enrollment of 1,000 students and...

Pros: big rooms, lovely views, hard wood floors
Cons: no air conditioning

While all of the dorms are nice, Rebekah is by far my favorite. The huge white front porch welcomes you as it is the first building in the loop. The ground floor hosts the admissions office, a sitting room, a few meeting rooms. Attached is the...

Pros: small size, great faculty, beautiful dorms
Cons: it only lasts four years!

Pros: beautiful,
Cons: full meal service only option

Pros: large roomy with big windows and high ceilings
Cons: makes your first apartment look miserable ;)

If you ever get a chance to visit the campus, it will only take a minute for you to fall in love! The gothic style architecture of the academic buildings and the beautiful southern porches transport you to another world. Three dorms are definitely the...

Pros: An exceptionally strong reputation!
Cons: Don't know enough to list any

Please forgive me, up front, for writing an opinion of somewhat limited scope. I am an outsider to Agnes Scott (not a student or alum) so my knowledge of the place isn't from immediate experience. However, at the time I first wrote this piece, no one...
