Some professors want to get to know all of their students, but I think unless you go to office hours, it's hard to get to know the professor(unless it's a discussion intense course). Classes ranges from 30-250ppl. So you have to choose what kind of setting you want and prosper in. The courses are definitely challenging, but some are not so bad. A lot of times it depends on your professor and your style of learning.

~Do professors know your name? yes, but I feel like I make an impression.
~Tell us about your favorite class. The jazz history class is a lot of fun and the graduate teachers like to make learning a good experience and relate to their audience rather well... I love the speech classes <3
~least favorite? some of the law classes, rhetorical and chemistry classes freaking suck because teachers find their subject to be way more important than it is for intro stuff.
~how often do students study? omg all time! i study at least 5 hours a week when its testing around 15-20 hours
~is class participation common? not unless counts towards your grade. go every attending very connecting with professors.. which really helps you play good student card screw up somehow.
~do have intellectual conversations outside class? time
~are competitive? them.. know am. try best so can someone look to. makes me feel ^^
~what's most unique you've taken? research that teach how an experiment write paper about it... sooo unusual.
~tell us major >

Many individuals focus on whether or not a college has a fancy football team or well known name. GSU has been labeled by many as "just another state school", but from my experience as an honors student, I can say that GSU is not just some state school. GA State has a very competitive nursing program and a very successful business school among other colleges. There is ample opportunity to study as every floor of the dorms has a study room and the library has an abundance of space to study as well as many resources and rooms you can schedule for group studying. In addition, the students at Georgia State University are very studious. Overall, I believe GSU excels in academics.

Georgia state faculty are amazing, but some rotten apples do exist. Expect to sometimes have faculty that don't give a damn as often as you have exciting and inspiring instructors. In your major, there will be at least one professor that you can focus on and take ALL the classes they offer.
