Georgia State University Top Questions

So far I have gotten a valuable education, but even more than that i have had the experience of being independent for the first time in my life.

My college experience, so far, has taught me that I am a capable, intelligent individual. I was not always aware that these were qualities I possesed, or had the capacity to ever posses. College has given me confidence in myself and that in infinitely valuable in my life. With my degree I hope to work directly with children in the foster care system, either as a case worker or private counselor, and help to pass the qualities onto them. I feel compelled to work in this field because I strongly believe that change is possible, one child at a time.

So far, my college experience has been pretty swell. I've learned how to really manage my time well, since time management is the adhesive that ensures academic success! I've also put more effort into learning my work, and not just memorizing it.

College is the best part of getting out of high school. It is a whole new experience and a journey people could only understand in college. We meet new people, learn life lessons, enjoy nights with friends, pulling all nighters, take life changing classes, skip classes, sneak into classes that we never signed up for, and learn to mature up by being independent. College is a challenge, but it is a challenge worth taking. Nothing is easy in life and we find out the hard way through the four plus years we are in school. Nevertheless, college is giving me a future, and I could never pursue my goals in life without going to school. College is one of the best times in our lives, but it is also the most important thing for us to have.

College has been a wonderful experience for me so far. I have been able to make some new friends and also have been able to learn so many new things. I am so glad to have decided to go back to college and cant wait to see what the rest of my college years hold for me.

In my college experience I have learned that education as well as networking is very crucial for my future and the things that I would like to persue.

In its own way, college helped me decide what I want to do for the rest of my life. It's like when I got my tattoo. Before I got inked, I thought I knew the permancy of it; I had all these ideas of what I wanted to get next, dozens of sketches and scribbles of cool images I thought would look good on me. But then I got my first tattoo, and it was then that I truly knew how permanent they are. Before college, I thought I wanted to practice psychiatry. Then I wanted to teach philosophy. Then I wanted to write...you see where this is going. It wasn't until my first theatre class that I knew that I wanted to go into film. I want to write screenplays that move people, I want to shoot scenes that drive people to the far corners of their emotions, I want to make people visit the movie theater over and over again. College is, in fact, invaluble. Without it, I wouldn't have been inspired to pursue my passion.

I have learned to be completely and fully independent. People who attend other campuses will say the same thing, but in reality, their schools are on their own little turf, an isolated area that may resemble the real world but is still very much a sheltered version of it. At Georgia State, many of the buildings are converted hotels and offices, sprawled out across the city. When you get up from that seat in the lecture hall and leave the building, you are on your own - which, as scary as it sounds to some people, is a good thing.

The most influential thing that I have gotten out of my college experience so far is learning to appreciate and embrace diversity. My school is located in the biggest city in the Southeast, Atlanta, which allows Georgia State students to engage in all that the city has to offer. I attended LSU in Baton Rouge, but the large SEC school was too exclusive for me, I love the opportunities that being in a true city rather than a college town has provided. As a result of my transfer, I ahve been lucky enough to work on a Gubernatorial campaign and am currently hoping to be able to finance studying abroad to gain an even larger perspective on the world. I flirted with several majors, but my love of politics and debating secured political science with a pre-law concentration.

My college experience was amazing. In my opinion, Georgia State University is one of the best colleges in Georgia because it’s one institution which has great infrastructure and co operative professors. And, the Homecoming events in Fall/Spring semesters showcases our pride and dignity . I had never thought that I will miss my college so much but now after passing out I realize the importance of good professors, good college and of course good friends. Actually speaking I think it might be sad leaving school because the past 3 yrs were hectic with so many assignments, projects, presentations, tests etc that you got little time for socializing. Though it doesn’t make a book-worm out you, GSU expects students to know all they could. GSU helps bring out the potential that you have to succeed and that's why students love this institution. Life has taken a turn now. The senior year provides a lot of opportunities and i look forward to graduation.
