Georgia State University Top Questions

What's unique about your campus?

Deanna

I consider the diversity of the students one of the best things about Georgia State University. This allows for enlightening class discussions from a varying cultures and ethnicities. The professors at Georgia State University are another great thing about GSU. They are supportive, encouraging, and generally experts in their fields. Personally, I like the location of the campus. It provides easy access to great food, public transportation, local attractions, and much more. I also like that they have a plethora of student driven clubs and associations. These clubs often provide access to information pertaining to job and research opportunities.

The best thing about my school is that I have ample amounts of opportunity to grow in my field of study being in such a large city.

Malika

The education program puts you in the field to allow you to experience first hand all the wonderful things you read about in text books and write about in papers. It's one thing to know the pedagogy, but it's another to practice it hands-on.

Victoria

Our school emphasizes how diverse we are, but it's actually true. I genuinely enjoy walking into a classroom that looks like a UN convention! With so many religions, races, socioeconomic backgrounds, languages, and sexualities represented, it really molds you into becoming a more open-minded, world-thinker.

Ashley

I consider the student life to be the best thing about our school because there are many organizations that students can get into at school. Whether a student is looking for an organization to make friends with, volunteer for, or to explore their major, Georgia State University will have something for them. Our student life is very strong because of these organizations that help bring the school community together as one.

Alexis

The best thing about Georgia State University is its open campus. We are exposed to not only the academics withing our buildings, but the realness that is Atlanta. Being downtown, I get exposed to every type of citizen. There are merchants on the street selling whatever they can to make a quick buck. There are homeless people everyone struggling to survive. There are corporate businessmen and politicians everywhere. It is as if downtown is where all sides of the socio-economic spectrum collide. It is a unique experience that allows you to be more open-minded.

I think the location is probably one of the best aspects of the school. Our campus is in the heart of downtown Atlanta so students have many chances and opportunities; it's really up to us to go out and look for them. Being in the city instead of sheltered away in the suburbs is a change of pace for a lot of students and helps them grow up more. It literally feels like you have the world in your hands...even if you're only 20!

Maiya

The best thing about my school is the nontraditional campus itself; Georgia State is a part of the city of Atlanta, I love the atmosphere. As someone that lived a very sheltered life, going to college in the city offers me a freedom that I've never experienced before. There is always something going on downtown, not just clubbing and partyting. And although students are in the city GSU Police are just a call away.

Jazzmine

The best thing about my school would have to be the ease of access to vital resources. A lot of the resources we need (scholarship resource center, advisor offices, etc) are located on the main campus, and are easy to get to.

Chidozie

It's location because there are so many opportunities and things to do in the city of Atlanta.

Kayla

The people I've met, because they're very interesting and diverse and usuall incredibly smart.

Lindsey

What I consider to be the best thing about my school is the learning atmosphere. You are constantly greeted with new people and new ideas. The whole campus seems to have the attitude that learning is a chance to expand your own ideas by listening to another's. It is an open forum for discussion and it is always easy to find people with similar interests and ideas.

William

I love the diversity of my school and the scene of downtown Atlanta. While on campus, you are exposed to many different perspectives and views. The people are generally friendly and accepting of your views. It's probably one of our most valuable aspects.
