The first thing I learned......EVERYONE IS UNIQUE!!!! I have seen the weirdest, cutest, oddest, hairstyles, outfits, and shoes, but I accepted it, College is time time for you to find yourself, and I think GSU is a great place to experiment with your style and personality, since it's so diverse, you can learn a little bit from everyone.

My classmates are unique, talented and diverse. Its great to be around people that are not so different then yourself. The great thing about Georgia State is that theirs so much diverse.

The students at Georgia State University, in one word, are most definitely friendly, and I mean that literally. I came from a high school that was prominently African American, and I thought I would have difficulty making friends, but luckily, that wasn't the case. I made friends of several nationalities upon the first week of school. It really is very easy to interact at GSU because people are so polite and open- minded. I personally haven't met any racist or prejudice person at school, thankfully, and I don’t think I will (hopefully). But, honestly everyone, regardless if you’re black, white, or asian, interacts with one another. Trust me, my Facebook page doesn't lie. The only advice I could give to any student no matter if you choose to go to Georgia State or not, is to break out of your shell and meet people. You will definitely enjoy the results.

In a way, a lot of college students at Georgia State keep to themselves. From what I've seen there aren't any boundaries separating the different groups of people. There is this one distracting thing where baptist preachers will storm our free speech areas with signs and yell that everyone's going to go to hell. If anything though, I've seen this as a bonding thing, because the Christian club at school tried to talk to these preachers in a respectable fashion and these preachers were just downright rude. No student should feel out of place at our school because we have such a diverse population. We have students from all over the world, but I would say that the majority of our students have lived in Georgia for awhile. This is because a lot of students use the HOPE Scholarship to pay for college. Different types of students interact in the classes, but I tend to see people hang out with people like themselves outside of class. Students do not seem to dwell on how much they want to earn one day, but a lot if students do act in the interest of others. There are a lot of meetings set up to bond students of various political orientations. It seems like most students seem to be moderate, yet politically aware. I'm not 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} positive on this though because parties do not seem to come up much outside of class..

Georgia State is huge and very diverse everyone is represented. No one will feel out of place. And everyone interacts with everyone. People where whatever they want to class. I see a lot of sweats and things of the comfort nature. Not to many people trying to look cute with their heals and stuff because there is lot of walking.

Students at GSU are very different. Everybody has their own style. If it's a rainy day then every girl that has rain boots have them on. Every boy dresses different. Some wear shirts to show off their muscles. Nobody will feel out of place here. There is someone for everybody.

The students are very open minded towards one another. The atmosphere is friendly thought there are the cliched cliques. Students dress in casual attire and once in a while, you will see formal clothing, which lends credibility to the student. Students are diverse; every race attends Georgia State University. Many of the students I interact are attending with the help of financial aid, therefore many come from middle class backgrounds. In the courtyard, I see a lot of political activity, so I know students are active in there political parties.

Georgia State is EXTREMELY diverse! there are students of all backgrounds, cultures, religions, shapes and sizes and we all interact with each other, especially during class. No one will feel out of place here! There are tons of students who participate in things such as Occupy Atlanta and do community service projects - so it's safe to say that most of the students at my school are politically aware! Even though our school is really diverse, we do have stereotypes! In the dining hall you may find the football players in one spot, and the band geeks in another, but no one is mean to each other! We all except each others' differences, but we tend to clique more with people that we have more in common with.
