Over 3,000 students from almost every county in Georgia will begin fall semester classes on Monday at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College.

ABAC President David Bridges said the college attracted students from 152 Georgia counties last fall as well as students from 17 other states, and 11 other countries.

He expects that same kind of geographic distribution this year. "ABAC is so different than most state colleges," Bridges, the only ABAC President to have ever been a student (Class of 1978) at ABAC, said. "Because of our wide range of courses in the agriculture field, we draw students from all over the world. But we also have a nursing program that attracts hundreds of students from right here in South Georgia. So we actually have the best of both worlds."
