Georgia Southern University Top Questions

Since transferring to my Georgia Southern University I realized it is a very large school. With a population of almost 19 thousand students, it lacks the teacher-student relationship that I was accustomed to. When that relationship is present you obtain the opportunity to ask important questions during lecture, that might have gone unnoticed in a class with over two hundred students.

I love the school I am attending. There are a lot of majors to choose from, however the worst thing would have to be that my school does not offer architecture. I am undeclared at the moment, but am considering architecture. If I decide to change my major to architecture I would have to transfer to a new school and leave the school that has become my home.

nothing about the university in general, usually just problems that arise because of classes.

Sometimes the location, is a little to small town for me; I grew up in Atlanta, where everything was so close and there where tons of things to do. So sometimes the remoteness of the location can we less than diserable.

The worst thing about Georgia Southern University is the lack of minorities. In hig school you take a lot of things for granted. One of those things is the diversity within the student body. At Georgia Southern there are many white and black students, but when it comes to other races we lack. You start to miss the conversations in spanish you would hear walking the halls, and the sounds of asian instruments coming from the chinese club. If Georgia Southern accpeted more minorities, then it would seem like more of a melting pot .

I feel that the absolute worst thing about this university is the financial aid office. When going through the meetings and touring the school the staff of Georgia Southern heavily emphasizes that they are easy to work with and everyone should be able to pay for college. This is not true, the staff in the financial aid office are not at all committed to helping students pay for college they are in fact rude. Also Georgia southern is not easy to work with in financial situations, they only accept certain loans making it hard on students and parents alike.

The only thing that I really do not like about my school is that the off- campus hosuing is cheaper than on campus. Off campus housing is further you have to ride the school buses or you can walk(its not that long I'm just little lazy...lol) . Everything else is great.

The worst thing about Georgia Southern University is the mandatory rule that all freshman must stay on campus in the dorms. It is a lot more expensive to live in the on campus dorms and when one adds on the cost of books and meal plans it becomes very taxing. I believe that if a freshman wanted to live on campus they would get the first pick over upper classman but i do not think that it should be a requirement.

Georgia Southern is amazing with small class sizes, large campus atmosphere and great dorms, teachers and technology but some disadvantages at Georgia Southern are the low admission standards and fact that there is nothing to do in town. Georgia Southern is a great value school that is unknown but really a outstanding school but the school has a high admission rate and that is one issue. Many of students on the low standardize test score side come here without the intent to really dedicate themselves to their studies, that paired with the small town leads to alot of drop out.

To me, one of the worst things about my school is the lack of fastpaced city life around. Although this is a matter of opinion, it can be cultureshock to someone who comes from a big, fast city, to the quiet and mellowness of my campus. Although there are many exciting things going on around campus, a person should consider the entire atmosphere of the city. Although the campus might not be walking distance to some of the latest fashion boutiques, this is made up for by the many other activities on campus.
