While this small Georgia school known for its performing arts program just went co-ed, students still see this former all-women���s college as a ���historic college that empowers and shapes young women into leaders,��� and students say ���Brenau is all about traditions, sisterhood, and being the best you can be.��� The ���small, close-knit campus��� offers generous scholarship opportunities, as well as online and a ���part time and weekend option,��� which drew one Nursing major to the school because it allows students to work and attend school concurrently. The professors at Brenau are ���very supportive and understanding and are always available when you need them,��� and ���they care about their students and want to help them succeed.��� Students praise the ���accessibility of [facilities] and staff [and the] ability to form close professional relationships with professors��� and stress that the school is ���a place of comfort with an emphasis [on] a well-rounded education.��� Some students wish Brenau could ���be more modern��� and ���bring computers into the courses.��� In addition to the traditional college student, ���Brenau offers education to adults who have been out of school for a long time with assistance to excel.��� Some students lament that Brenau���s teaching style is ������know this��� or ���know that��� [with] little discussion��� and say that the ���math we have is strictly on our own.���

The typical Brenau student has ���a sense of hunger for learning and an ability to get along with others.��� The sense of community is underscored by one psychology major who says, ���We are really big on getting to know people especially incoming freshmen.��� With the online, part-time, and commuter options, many students, like this business accounting major, say, ���I take my classes online, therefore I am not on campus or anywhere near campus.��� Many students would describe their fellow Brenau students as ���working adults,��� though for others ���Brenau [students] love to study together, hang in the tearoom, go to Mule Camp on karaoke night and have adventures in the bamboo forest.��� The ���housing could improve��� on campus and some students would like to see ���leniency��� in the alcohol policy (Brenau is a dry campus) for ���legal adults.���

On campus, sororities and sports are popular, and students say that weekday activities usually involve ���homework, [going] to the mall, and [hanging out] with friends.��� ���For fun [we] might go to the Gainesville Square, which is just a few blocks from campus,��� says one biology major. An international relations major says that it���s common to ���hang out with . . . friends [and] people talk a lot about politics.��� For a nursing student who���s a self-described ���artist at heart,��� free time is spent drawing, painting, reading, and taking photographs. Volunteerism is common������My life is about serving others,��� says one pre-nursing student���with another student highlighting time spent at a local animal shelter. For students who want to travel beyond the school���s small hometown of Gainesville, the University of Georgia in Athens is a popular destination, as is Atlanta, which is only an hour away by car.
