Georgia State University Top Questions

Well it is expensive like plenty of other schools. All this money we spend, but so little help and it's not that great of a campus.

Nothing, the school is a great institution with lots of history behind it. GSU is in the city and makes myself, as a city person, feel at home.

I hate how little they communicate with you. If something is wrong you won't know until the damage is done. I have had to re-enroll twice because no one informed be that if I dropped all my classes for the semester I would have to reapply. By the time I found out and had been reaccepted all the classes I signed up for where removed from my schedule and I couldn't take the classes at the time that I preferred.

In my opinion, the worst thing about Georgia State University is the location. It being in the heart of Downtown Atlanta provides criminals a never ending opportunity for crime. I am not implying that crime is out of control at GSU but, it does have its fair share.

I would consider the worst thing about my school is commuting to it. Traffic in the mornings is terrible and I have to leave about two hours before my class begins to get to class on time.

The fact that it is a city campus and therefore, you sometimes walk amongst nasty areas and will run into your occasional beggar.

The thing I consider to be the worst thing about my school is the fact that the campus is open.

There is not a very strong sense of community, since it's a still largely a commuter school. This gives the school a rather businesslike, unfriendly vibe, which is not the best for forming connections and a network.

The worst thing about my school is that you have to always be cautious about who you are around and you are never guaranteed your safety. The reason I say this is the worst thing is because Georgia State has an open campus in the middle of Atlanta and anyone of any kind and waltz in and mug you or worse. There have been many incidents where this has happened to students. It gives you a very unsafe feeling.

The worst thing about my school is the location, right smack in the middle of Atlanta. The city is always busy and smelly. I especially hate how the campus buildings are sandwiched between banks and office buildings, and it doesn't help that the maps they provide are hard to read as well.

The amount of smoking done on campus; cigarettes that is.

The worst thing about this college is parking. It is very limited on campus, and can be expensive over time. The school does offer free parking at Turner Field and a shuttle to take students to and from the school, but there are occasional roberies at the field. It doesn't feel safe to park there.

The worst thing about the school is that the students tend to put themselves in danger. Many of the students are impatient when it comes to crosswalks. They do not even look out for cars. To see someone get hit is the worst possible sight to see at Georgia State. I think the campus should bust the student from jaywalking. It can be really dangerous.

The worst thing about my school is the lack of dorm rooms and the price.

Security is suffocatingly tight. I do not like knowing that I am being tracked via my keycard. Several times I have attempted to open the door of a Housing community only to be yelled at by a woman on hidden intercom and locked out.

The school has a lot of students. Sometimes, it can be a bit crowded in some areas or buildings, but not enough to dissuade anyone from attending the school.

The problem that I see everyday at my school is the lack of communication between staff members. As a Work Study student at the Veterans Affairs office on campus, I see many students coming in from other staff members who send them our way without knowing where to actually send the students. This causes the student to do a "run around," or having to go to different offices because the staff cannot answer their questions.

The worst part about my school, which is also the best, is the location. My school is located in downtown Atlanta and homeless people harrass you, ask you for money, approach you at any given moment . It's the city, so there's businesses on every corner and the traffic is always awful. Unlike on a college campus, it's just the college students.

The worst thing about my school would be the emphasis on volunteering. It is always good to volunteer, but if you do not have the time or the ability or the patience to start, it makes you feel like an uninvolved and shallow person.

The disadvantages of attending Georgia State University is the school's location in downtown of Atlanta. I once walk around the campus without alert, and the MARTA ( the city bus) almost ran over me. Also since the school located right next to the major highways, there are lot of incosiderate drivers whom do not care about pedistrians at all. However, the worst thing about the school is the crime. I had mails from school police almost every week that many people was robbed, or someone injured because group of males attacked him.
