The worst thing at my school is that the city of Atlanta is not a good place. There is a lot of homeless people on campus. There has been a lot of reports of robberies on campus.

When it comes to GA State, the professors are nice, the campus is very diverse, and there are opportunities galore, so what could be the problem? Being in the heart of the "concrete jungle" that is Atlanta, the location of the school is both a negative and a positive. Although surrounded by a bustling city full of promise, I am in constant fear of being mugged, for crime in Downtown ATL is fairly high. Students must take many safety precautions when walking around campus and homeless men and women often heckle passing students.

The worst thing about my school is some of the crime that happens around campus. Most of these crimes do not involve students, but living in downtown Atlanta, there are many homeless people that could potentially be dangerous. Last semester, we had more than four armed robberies on campus, which was a scary thing to think about.

The worst thing about Georgia State University is its location. Being situated in a city can make a person feel overwhelmed, especially if the person is a newcomer or not used to cities.

I think the worst thing about Georgia State is being in the downtown Atlanta area. There is a lot of crime in the area. Students get robbed at times which takes away from Georgia State being such a great school.

The worst thing about Georgia State University is that it is a commuter school. There is not an actual campus where college students can come together and experience the college life. It takes away the aesthetic values of a real college experience. It is also harder for students to focus because many have wasted a lot of their study time commuting.

I would have to say the worst thing is how crowded it is. There are so many students attending this school, im not saying its over crowded because its not, but there are stilll alot of students. The class sizes are huge for some classes and it can be difficult to get one on one attention some students may need. There are certain times of day where its hard to find a parking space, lines are extremely long to get food, and its like finding water in the desert trying to get a computer or study room in the library.

As a commuter, the parking at Georgia State is quite terrible. The fees are high and there is not enough parking. Only one parking deck allows you to have a semester pass and it is a mess to try and purchase one, they sell out within minutes.

The worst thing about Georgia State University is the only fact that it's in the heart of the city of Atlanta which makes the campus life different from others. The campus does not seem tight-nit since many people commute to school and the university itself lacks the closed off area due to busy streets, businesses, and the homeless people near by that throws off the apperance of a school campus. If the school would be more of a close campus then the whole atmosphere of school would change.

What I consider the worst thing about my school is the location downtown surrounded by car noises and anyone can walk onto campus.
