Piedmont University — Attraction in Demorest

If you’re thinking of sending your child here, don’t. I spent one semester here and it is the worst quality of education I have ever had. For the whopping tuition you will pay, you will sit in a high school like classroom with high school grade materials. Oh yeah, there are multiple high profile law suits going on (that they will do there very best to conceal during the admissions process). The allegations made in those lawsuits are shocking and would have made a big difference on my admissions decision. You can also count on tuition increasing throughout your time here, if you make it past the first year. Legal fees to protect the corrupt president have to be paid somehow. The only thing good I got out it was the social aspect. I made some friends that I will probably keep for life.

I was also having mental health struggles that they did nothing about. Seeking help is difficult and they did everything possible to make it more difficult. My parents claim to have called the college with concerns, multiple times, only to be shunned away. I was even told I could receive academic help if I met with disability services, only for that meeting to last less than 5 minutes and was told that there’s nothing they could do unless I got a psychological evaluation. Mind you it was 3 months into the semester and psychological evaluations have month+ long waiting lists. I was shocked by this. They made this as difficult as possible, despite advertising that the “small college feel” will result in more support. It doesn’t, they could care less as long as your tuition dollars line their pockets.

I’m now attending Kennesaw State, paying drastically less, and receiving drastically better education. I will say they are pretty good salesman, they will have you believe that it is a supportive environment and everything is perfect behind the scenes (admissions is most likely where most of the budget goes, along with the President’s Porsche). I can’t think of a college with worse value for what you will pay. I promise you will find that the cheaper public colleges have much better quality of education. This...

In the Fall of 1970, I attended ONE quarter; possibly the beginning of my career of Volunteering for the sake of reaching out to those who most had given up on. The inspiration of the teachings of the Denomination and in general high quality of the staffs belief that the Tide Would Turn and greatness would return to Piedmont College gave me determination in what I believe Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior wanted me to do. The next 42 years I would volunteer for the lost calls and those nobody else wanted to even try to lead. I am still following what I learned in that ONE quarter of experience there is No Limit of what Jesus Christ would do to influence anyone who needed His assistance. (That quarter was caucus with fires being set, drunken brawls, the administration building flooded all but destroyed, hazing totally out of control.) But during it all I learned that no matter what the circumstance the Power of Understanding and Forgiveness leads to the narrow path that Jesus Him self had to follow. Piedmont College taught me that no adversity would be too much for me to work through and reach out to those that no one else cared about. Today I use the tools of satin the www the wicked/world/warrior to inspire, include, encourage to try another way the way of trying to understand another point of view - that of peace and love for all. Surprisingly it most often leads those lost back to the ways Christ...

GREAT school! I'm currently a sophomore drama education major and could not love it more.

Only one complaint: To anyone who requires disability services, I would not recommend attending Piedmont, espically if your disability is mental not physical. I've been here a year and a half and I'm still struggling to get the accommodations that are owed to me. Since it's a private school, it's much harder to get accommodated and the current director is very hard to work with.

Still love the community and the...
