Georgia State University Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about Georgia State University? Why?

Sarah

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.

Xavier

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.

Tyler

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.

Jesse

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.

Leah

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.

Ayat

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

ashley

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

Andrew

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.

Chynna

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.

Lindsey

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.
