Georgia Southern University

Great atmospher and student life. Also, the degree program which I have chosen is a great fit for me.

Georgia Southern was and for the most part, has always been my last option for college. I really never thought it would be a good fit for me. During the middle of senior year, I decided to apply just to have more options. I got in and decided to look more into it. A few of my friends had already been attending there and some of my current friends were going so I knew I wouldn't be alone. Going far for college was never my intention so it was another positive that it was only four hours away. Struggling to find roommates for any other college, I found roommates for Southern within two days and loved them! Everything started coming together and I felt that the Lord was calling me there. I went on a tour and fell in love with the campus. I had seen all the sororities and the things they do and became so excited for this next chapter. I decided to apply for the honors college and got in! I am also able to study abroad with the honors program. Everything fell into place when it felt like nothing was going to happen. I am so excited for the next chapter in my life and can't wait to see what the Lord has planned for me!

I am interested in Georgia Southern due to its atmosphere and resources. Georgia Southern University is a large institution, yet it feels very homey. When I first stepped onto the campus, I didn't realize how comfortable I would feel roaming it; I felt like a student walking to class. I loved learning about their business program as well, I didn't realize how many resources they could connect me to. GSU's business program offers tons of options for internships once you get the last 2 years of college, they help students with networking, as they make the process less stressful. Also, Georgia Southern has a lot of communities and campus activities that I plan to join. For example, I plan on joining the African Studies Organization to learn more about my culture and the various African cultures. I hope to join an organization based on business and to grow with people in that field. I'm excited for my first year at Georgia Southern University and hope to grow as a person and create meaningful relationships from my experience! GO EAGLES!

What draws me to Georgia Southern University is not just its strong academic programs or vibrant campus, it's the sense of familiarity I’ve already experienced there. As a local student, I’ve grown up knowing about the university’s positive impact on the community, and through dual enrollment, I’ve had the unique opportunity to be part of that environment early on. Being dual enrolled at Georgia Southern gave me firsthand experience with the campus culture and academic expectations. I appreciated the supportive professors, the collaborative learning environment and the resources available to help students succeed. It made me feel like more than just a student, I felt like I was already part of something meaningful. What stands out most to me is how Georgia Southern balances academic excellence along with a welcoming community. Whether it's the school spirit at events, the commitment to hands-on learning, or the strong ties between the university and the local area. It all aligns with what I’m looking for in a college experience. Attending Georgia Southern feels like a natural next step and I’m excited about the opportunity to continue growing in a place that already feels like home.

What made me want to attend Georgia Southern University was the construction management program, this program offers so many career pathways for graduates and tons of hands on opportunities and internships for this program. The beautiful campus they have also caught my eye and the school spirit is a big part of the school since their football team is apart of the NCAA sunbelt conference and I’m excited to watch many of their elite athletic programs. The campus also provides nice facilities like the recreational facility which has numerous amounts of basketball courts and pools with a sauna and workout equipment, or its 4 level library it is all just very nice and well put together.

Georgia Southern is a great school. It is a medium sized campus with a small campus feel. The professors are always willing to help, and there are many opportunities to get more involved on campus. Athletics are fun events to go to, but there are many other activities if sports are not your thing. While, the town is very small, Savannah is very close by and makes for a fun weekend.

Georgia Southern is even better than I had expected it to be. I love the campus, the people, the excitement....I haven't found anything I don't like about it. So far my professors have all been helpful when asked. I have made the most amazing friends who are sincere and caring. We have so much fun together but also understand the need for seriousness with our studies. I would recommend GSU to anyone who doesn't want to go to the biggest (and most popular) state school but want a smaller school where there are a lot of opportunities to fit in. Fraternities and sororities interact together often, but you don't have to be a Greek to enjoy the college scene. I was not given a big my first semester, but still was included in so many activities. Now I am in a sorority and feel even more included. I don't find the sororities snobby but open to invite non-Greeks to join in the fun. GSU is now my home away from home and I love it!

The town that Georgia Southern resides in is a very small town. Statesboro becomes your own little college world and it will grow on you. I would recommend doing greek life if you are a social person who thrives with frequent opportunities to get involved. I met a lot of friends through greek life and it was a support system through classes and outside of school as well. The town becomes your family and I promise you will make some of your favorite memories here!

Georgia Southern University strikes me as a solid choice for students looking for a well-rounded college experience, especially with its strong sense of community and support for student involvement. It offers a good mix of academic programs, especially in fields like business, engineering, and education, which makes it a good option for students who want a balance of academics and campus life. One thing I appreciate about Georgia Southern is its commitment to hands-on learning. The university emphasizes practical experiences, like internships and research, which can make a real difference in preparing students for careers after graduation. Plus, the student organizations, clubs, and sports offer lots of ways to connect with others and build leadership skills, which adds to the college experience outside the classroom. Georgia Southern also has a reputation for being affordable compared to many other universities, which can help make a quality education accessible without a heavy financial burden. The smaller class sizes at some of its campuses allow for more personalized instruction, which is appealing to students who prefer direct support from professors. Overall, Georgia Southern University seems like a school that values both academics and personal growth, giving students a supportive environment to pursue their goals and get the most out of their college years

I’ve heard great things about Georgia Southern University! It’s known for its strong sense of community and beautiful campus. They’ve got a pretty diverse range of programs and some solid sports teams too. Plus, Statesboro has that charming small-town vibe.

So far in my experience with the University I can't say I'm particularly pleased. Your freshman and sophomore years are inundated with filler classes that are easy enough to make your gpa look good but are a burn on your tuition. I've been here for awhile and tuition has only gotten higher with no marked improvement to compensate for it- but at least it's a relatively stable environment.

As a Latina woman, my opinion of Georgia Southern University is shaped by several factors, including its academic offerings, campus culture, and inclusivity. Georgia Southern University has made strides in recent years to enhance diversity and foster a welcoming environment for students from all backgrounds, including Latinos like myself. One aspect that stands out is the university's commitment to providing opportunities for underrepresented minorities, including scholarships, mentorship programs, and cultural organizations. This proactive approach to inclusion signals a willingness to embrace diversity and support the success of students from diverse backgrounds. Additionally, Georgia Southern's academic programs offer a range of opportunities for personal and professional growth. From STEM fields to the humanities, there are ample resources and support systems in place to help students excel in their chosen fields of study. As a Latina woman with aspirations in education or perhaps a STEM-related field, I appreciate institutions that prioritize excellence and provide the necessary tools for success. Furthermore, the campus culture at Georgia Southern appears vibrant and engaging, with a variety of extracurricular activities, student organizations, and cultural events. This enriching environment fosters connections and encourages students to explore their interests outside of the classroom. Overall, while every institution has its strengths and areas for improvement, Georgia Southern University appears to be making commendable efforts to create an inclusive and supportive environment for all students, including Latinas like myself.

The campus is great - like a big park. The people I've met have been super nice and helpful, answering tons of questions and giving us behind the scenes tours. There are over 800 freshmen on the waiting list for the dorms, which is awful, but the nearby apartment complexes have been very helpful in providing great rates and decent apartments.

I have loved every single part of my first year at GSU. I live in a dorm with 3 other girls who i met and interacted with prior to moving into our dorm in August. Next year, for our Sophomore year, we will all be sharing an apartment together. The professors are great and i was even assigned a coach to assist me with my grades since my first semester in college and away from home was a little distracting. I love the football games, the atmosphere of the campus and the surrounding areas, the whole City is into GSO and wears their GATA gear with pride wherever they go and no matter what their age. I truly look forward to my next three years.

I love Southern. At first the "hail southern" propaganda scared me, it felt a bit like a cult, but since being there - I get it. I enjoy being at school and I'm currently home for the summer, but I'm already so excited to go back in August. There is room for improvement, but that's with any school someone attends. Overall, hail southern and GATA!!!!
