Georgia State University Top Questions

When I first came to GSU, I was very disappointed because I had always dreamed of going to UGA. However, since being here, I have become more social, more involved academically, and more mature. My eyes have been opened to a lot of things such as the prevalence of the gay community in Midtown, the difference between city life and suburban life, and many other interesting facets of the college experience. I feel that being located in Atlanta and going to a school with a diverse student body has led me to be a more well-rounded individual.

I love the fact that it is diverse. You gain friends from so many different backgrounds. Georgia State is a commuter school, so the buildings are scattered around downtown atlanta. I like it because you can see all the nice tall buildings as your walking to class. The school is made of up undergrads, graduate, and law students. I spend time in the university center to meet up with my friends at noon for lunch. One of the biggest controversies at my school is the situation that is going on with the undocumented students. We just got a football team at the school last year, raising the amount of school pride on our campus. Most people dress in blue and white and participate in the homecoming week events. One event that I will always remember is when Obama was voted into presidency. The entire student body that lived on campus celebrated in front of the dorms and through the streets of Atlanta.

Georgia State offers you the opportunity to be both left alone and to have intense interaction with the school - by your choice. A side effect of this is that many students are clueless about the facilities available, and fee very lost. However, if you know where to go, you are able to take advantage of a world class faculty and student services.
