Best of Gwinnett 2016: Favorite Destination Colleges

Best four years of your life!

For many students, an important part of the college experience is leaving home and moving away from parents and siblings. After all, living with three other humans in a room the size of a walk-in closet, existing on Ramen noodles and Red Bull, and mastering the art of a “no classes on Friday” schedule provides invaluable life lessons and that’s before you even step foot in class!

Our readers weighed in with their favorite colleges outside the county lines and voted for choices in every area of the state and several within the Metro Atlanta area, too. Another great thing about living in Gwinnett you can attend any of these great institutions and still make it home for a home-cooked meal on the weekend.
