The location of my school is the best thing about the university. It is in the heart of downtown Atlanta which allows easy access to major companies and it makes it easier to find internships and jobs. There is also so much to do downtown it is hard to ever get bored. We have on campus sporting events, professional sporting events, concerts, and hundreds of restaurants to choose from whenever we want to be entertained. Most importantly, Georgia State is only thirty minutes from my house so whenever I get home sick I can easily get home.

It is not easy to find a spot around campus that I like. It is just constantly crowded and sometimes hard to breath! There are people everywhere! The only place that I can think is maybe the balcony of the Aderhold Learning Center (up in the upper levels). The Law library (across from the Sports Arena) might be a smarter place to get work done. This school may be better at the pride that many residents have for the school. We have high spirits and that's what makes it exciting for many to be a part of. In sports seasons, we are just thrilled and it is difficult to describe in words. The atmosphere is just blown up and it's loud and fun.
