Campus Life
Welcome to a Great Community
College is about more than what happens in the classroom – it’s a time to learn about yourself, gain perspective, make lifelong friends, and create fulfilling memories that will last a lifetime. At Piedmont University, our campus provides the perfect setting for you to do just that.
Nestled in an ideal location, with extensive experience opportunities, and full of modern facilities and comforts, Piedmont gives you the perfect foundation from which to launch the rest of your life. No matter what you think you might be interested in, Piedmont has an experience that will cater to you – and maybe even a few you didn’t necessarily think of. And just like in the classroom, you won’t get lost in the crowd here. Because we care about you, we’ll help you find the activity, pursuit, or group that you’re looking for. The result will be an experience that, combined with a world-class education, sets you on course for success in life.
