“With the close relationship students have with instructors on campus, Green River has a friendly learning environment. My experience here has been exceptional. These two years have been a turning point of my life where I found my passion in journalism and my direction as to who I am and who I want to become. ”
“As an international student, one of the big differences is how classes are conducted in the USA.
Green River was a stepping stone and like training wheels for the US education system. Studying at Green River has helped me to assimilate into the US education system and society.”

“After having spent two years at Green River, I think it was a decision well made.
It has prepared me in all possible ways to enter a four year university. In my own experience, I found that community college was a great place for me to figure out what major I was going to pursue and where I would eventually obtain
my degree.”

"Green River has helped so much in shaping me into an adult. The advising team was awesome, the instructors were very helpful, it’s a good environment for study, and the student programs were interesting. "
“By working and participating in different activities at Green River, I improved both my English and leadership skills, which built a solid foundation for my further studies at Georgia Tech. Moreover, I like how Green River has small sized classes because I get more attention from the instructor in class.”
