Winter weather in Augusta is such a gamble. Will it be cold? Hot? Rainy? Icy? We never know around…read morehere. So when it comes to weddings, the safe bet is having one indoors. Now imagine a historic, located in downtown Augusta, multilevel, and picturesque from top to bottom. Well, imagine no more. This building has been around since 1835, with the focus primarily being medical (hence the name). The nod to Greek architecture is astounding and the team who manage it are helpful in every way. The space is now available for rental and I found myself there for a wedding (in the role of officiant). I wandered around (since I have plenty of free time before ceremonies begin) and found where they store the various tables and chairs. I also saw the separate spaces that can be used for dressing rooms or dining areas. Gorgeous! The tall ceilings and intricate detail demand that you take a selfie. If you have an event of any magnitude coming up, consider having it here. You will not be disappointed.

Recently my sister was married here. She also held her reception here. I absolutely love the space. It's on the National Registry of Historic Places, so it has all the charm one would need. There is exposed brick, columns, a winding staircase and plenty other beautiful features. It has a great location on Telfair Street. The gates and the stone pathway as you walk up are great. The parking is tricky. You can park on the street and there is a small lot behind the building, but if you're expecting a large crowd they're sure to complain. However, directly across from the venue is the City's municipal building with plenty of parking. Also, downstairs are bathrooms and a dressing room. We used it to get ready. The venue also has a kitchen for caterers use and service elevators. Overall, great venue. Visit it anytime because it has lots of history too.

This is Georgia's only public medical school, and was among the first medical schools founded in…read moreour nation. Founded in 1828 with just a few students in Augusta's old City Hospital. With 230 students per class, the Medical College of Georgia's total enrollment is the 10th-largest among our nation's 141 accredited medical schools. MCG refers to only the College of Medicine, not the hospitals, clinics, etc. It is an exciting place to be at, and in my opinion a very important part of this state and the Augusta community.

This school seems to be misallocating all of its funds into superficial, meaningless projects and…read morerenovations, rather than putting those resources towards providing a quality education for the students. The professors and educational staff are underqualified. The curriculums are not well thought out, lessons are not tailored to the classes needs, exams often test on materials that were not covered by the course, and there is a lack of proofreading at every turn. Every course attended seemed to be purposefully overwhelming, and, instead of adequately preparing the students, was rushed and ill-prepared.

I'm an elderly woman in my 70's. A year ago, I had a bad fall and broke all the bones in my ankle…read more(bi-malleolar and tib-fib fractures). My daughter accompanied me in the ambulance to Augusta U Hosp ER that afternoon. CT scans verified the extent of the injury. Sometime around midnight, after many hours of exams and waiting, one of the residents told my daughter I needed to be admitted for surgery the next day. Because she had work, my daughter left and went home at around 1 a.m. She was told she could come back the next day to see me after the surgery. But then at around 4.30 a.m., a tech came in and put a temporary cast on my leg. I was told there were no beds and I was being discharged. "How?" I asked. "I have no transportation. How will I get home on my own?" A nurse got me some crutches, accompanied me out to the waiting room and said, "You can call Uber." Literally, I was left to my own devices. The grumpy late-night Uber driver saw me struggling to navigate on the crutches, but wouldn't budge her position, far away from the doorway of the ER. It was not a great experience. The kicker: I got no callback from the medical center to schedule my surgery or even for a follow-up to see a surgeon. The only way I was seen by calling repeatedly. When finally I met the surgeon, he was outraged that I had not been immediately admitted. The bones did not heal well and now I need an ankle joint replacement. We should be able to expect better from our medical providers.

Other than that, some of the office staff are rude, nonchalant, and unhelpful--especially to night classes. They do nothing to support us, including with career pathways. I've applied to jobs and attended job fairs on my own. This school is a sham, and I'm honestly embarrassed to call it my home college. I can't even talk to my family about the school because it doesn't provide all the necessary tools to carry out my education, and the tools they do give us are bottom-of-the-barrel cheap. Half of my tools are already broken. The lab we were promised still isn't even finished, and I graduate soon. Don't get me started on attendance policies. I can't even keep the job I need to help pay my bills because they threaten to drop you if you miss class due to work or other responsibilities. This is outrageous and disappointing because we literally had a class mate get stabbed. I did not feel safe or supported by my school. When you have to look over your shoulder when leaving class, it is clearly an unsafe learning environment.
