Campus Life

Being a two year junior college students do not live on campus in dorms. This does not mean that GTCC does not offer a dynamic student experience. On campus clubs and organizations include groups dedicated to certain majors such as AIGA, for graphic design students. Other general interest clubs: Art Club, Book Club, Creative Writing Club, International Student Association Club, Women Achieving Success, and many more.

Another big part of GTCC student life is Titan athletics. As part of the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) GTCC sponsors women’s volleyball, women’s basketball, men’s basketball, and men’s baseball. GTCC recruits players from North Carolina and all around the country.
