Georgia State University Top Questions

The smoking area

There are some offices at school where people try to avoid confrontation from: the Financial Aid office, the One Stop Shop office, the Admissions office, the Registrar office, and the Housing office. Most of these offices can barely be reached by phone, so it is best to go talk to someone in person. When a student usually tries to find information in one of the offices listed above, an office staff usually directs the student to another office. The customer service is bad, and sometimes favoritism is shown. I usually find out what I need to know by fellow students.

I think the worse thing about the campus is how far apart some of the classes are. The campus is spread out over downtown Atlanta.

GA State was a commuter school in the mid-90's. Since then, it has become much more of a cohesive campus.

Georgia State University is an exceptional college with outstanding teachers. It provides students with a variety of degree studies and a very liberal atmosphere that I have grown to appreciate. However, I consider the location of GSU to be the worst thing about my school. Downtown Atlanta is a very nasty city. For a city that is constantly flourishing in business/revenue, it is absolutely bombarded with homeless men and women along with drug addicts. Students are always being approached for money and some are even held at gunpoint which is horrifying.

I think that the worst thing about my school is the lack of alumni support.

The worse things about my school are the bad learning center hours. I wish the hours at the learning center could be better, so I could get more help with my homework. Also, I wish the financial aid office could be much more organized because they have lost several of my files, which has caused me to borrow money for my tuition.

The worst thing about Georgia State is that they allow grad students to teach classes. Sometimes this is the best thing about GSU because well-educated people get a change to try out teaching before they commit to another school, but other times the students get a teacher who does not have enough experience to teach the course properly.

I think the worst thing about my school is the fact that there are so many negative stereotypes about it still. It is an up-and-coming school, originating as just a commuter-college, but turning into a real college campus, despite being in a very urban area. It also has fantastic science research programs in addition to the great business school, and many people don't know that and don't think to look to this school for that.

Georgia State has potential to be great but it isn't recognized by the rest of the United States! unfortunately we live in the shadows of Georgia Institute of Technology and University of Georgia because we don't have a football team YET! That shouldnt determine nor underrmine our success. i guess this isnt the worst thing about my school but one of the bad things about society. Our lack of a football team means less money for the school which is why we dont have such a beautiful campus such as the schools mentioned before. What a shame!
