Georgia State University Top Questions

Georgia State is a very accepting school because we are all used to being so diverse. There are drag shows on campus, tons of committees and clubs, sports, it's really endless the things you can do.

There is an interesting mix of students at Georgia State University. I have met quite a number of students from different place, from the Caribbean to Ethiopa and interacting with them is a joy. No one should ever feel out of place at this school because it is such a diverse and accepting school that is open to all types of people. I would say most of the students from GSU are from Georgia; so far, the majority of students I've met are either from the Atlanta area or nearby. The students definitely add the the great feeling that comes with being on the Georgia State campus.

The student population at Georgia State University is the most diverse in the south eastern united states.

There is a good amount of different ethnicities (as mentioned) such as Chinese, African American, Jewish, Arabic, Turkish, Indians, Vietnamese, German, etc. at the school. The major religion is probably Christianity (once in a while walking across campuses, you might be approached by the homeless population in Woodruff Park to read the Bible to you; sometimes they call you names you may not like). There are not a whole lot of LGBT around school. In the courtyard (in front of the library), on Wednesdays, different groups of students will have bake sales to raise money for their activities. Students can be outrageous in their fashion sense sometimes. Some of them would wear something that is supposed to be trendy but just does not look good on them. However, people wear casual clothing to school. At times, you are required to dress up in business attire to major events such as presentations, speeches, and speakers' events. By "casual", I mean jeans, T-shirts, and sneakers. In the dining hall, you will find different groups of students. One might be the geeks (you will hardly see them though), the Asians, the loud, and the pretty (who would try to eat salad straight through). Most of the students take loans or have HOPE. Not many of these have money to pay for their education. They mostly have part-time jobs waiting tables, work at school (receptionist, in the library), cashiers, etc. A number of students are politically aware (10 persons were arrested last time a crowd was chanting about the moves of the Occupy people). Most of the lower level class students are Democratic. Students tell their friends how much they earn one day. They are comfortable with those things even though they don't earn a lot.

GSU is highly diverse in religion and race. No student should feel out of place at GSU. The diversity at GSU is beyond amazing, everyone pretty much has their own style. Most student might be from Georgia, but over all GSU caters to over 32 countries of students. Most people who attend GSU I would classify as middle class. Students are politically aware and active. Most of the students at GSU I would describe as being democratic.

A lot of students on campus are always on the move. Students are always in the library and always studying even in the dining halls. A lot of the student population come from in state and a lot of them recieve hope, me included. There are a lot of students also that come from out of state and also out of the country. Me and my roomate bond and we try new things from our culture. He made me crapes (european pancakes) and I made him tacos which he said he never had in his life before.

I think GSU is a place that has many different kinds of ppl. So you would be able to find your place on campus. Usually everyone hangs around the couryard between classes and you can clearly see different groups of people, but we all hangout in the court yard. I think I see most Black people around campus or at our campus events, but there are also a lot of Asians at GSU. Of course there's white ppl too. We are in America. Financially, there are well off students, but mostly I'd say middle class. We're all students still and always kind ways to save $.

~What are your experiences with racial, religious, LGBT, socio-economic, and/or other groups on campus? we definitely have all kinds at GSU. everyone is welcome and accepted. ~What kind of student would feel out of place at this school? noone should feel out of place unless they are completely unaccepting of other people's unique qualities... we dont appreciate those kind of people. ~Do different types of students interact? Yes, we're practically forced to. ~Where are most of the students from? the Atlanta area ~What financial backgrounds are most prevalent? Poor peoples ~Are students politically aware / active? most of us are

There are many nationalities, races, and religious groups represented on the GSU campus. In addition, there is a very strong homosexual presence at GSU as we are one of the GA campuses with the largest gay populations. Moreover, we also have many international students. As far as financial backgrounds go, my freshman year, a political science teacher informed me that upwards of 70{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the GSU student body receives some form of financial aid. Overall, the students who reside on campus are very diverse, and no matter what you are into, there is some group that you can fit into.

My classmates are an extremely divere group, all with different backgrounds, religion and a new story to tell.
