This school opens its arms to many students (more than the other colleges I have applied to). Georgia State has also given me a scholarship and admitted me into the Honors Program. As for the students not in the Honors Program, they have thoroughly enjoyed partaking in the oppurtunities they offer. For example, normally any incoming freshman would be nervous and scared, but their INCEPT orientation program and the Freshman Learning Communities help you get the most out of your college experience. Their large campus and helpful staff are also the highlights of this wonderful college.

Georgia State University is a unique school, because it gives the opportunity to anyone that is interested and have all the intention to get a degree no matter the race, the color of your skin, your nationality or gender. This university gives students all the facilities along with a high group of well prepared teachers that want their student to learn.

I believe that Georgia State University is a unique school because of its cultural diversity. Considering that people from and different part of the America and sometimes the world come to the school, you can find yourself immersed in a group of people with different ethnicities. Georgia State is also unique because of its "Digital Aquarium". This is a room which contains high tech equipment used for making films or doing photoshoots or just simply taking pictures on a family outting. This equipment is able to be rented by the students free of charge.

Tiffany

Georgia State University is unique because of it's centralized location. It's located directly in the heart of downtown Atlanta. The location of the University makes it possible for students to be able to explore various tourist attractions throughout Atlanta. (the aquarium, CNN center, Georgia Dome, Fox theatre, etc.) Another thing that makes the school so unique is it's tremendous diversity. Approximately 30,000 students attend the school and they are all from various ethnic backgrounds.

Hannah

Georgia State University provides a much different experience than most other colleges I considered. Georgia State isn't set up like a traditional university with an inclusive campus, but rather it is located right in the middle of down town Atlanta. This campus set up requires a lot more discipline and motivation as far as going to class and getting around goes, but I feel that the maturation I have gained from having to motivate myself is invaluable. Also, being in the city, Georgia State is a very diverse community with many cultural incentives to offer its students.

Ki'ara

Apart from the other schools I considered, GSU is in the heart of the city and there is always something for students to do. Not only that, but no incoming freshman wants to use community bathrooms and kitchens. This was a major deciding factor when it came to choosing a school and GSU was number one.

Georgia State is very diverse. People from all ethnic, religious, political and economic backgrounds come to this school. Students here range from right out of highschool to returing students finishing a degree or grad student coming back to further their education. We are known for our Law School, PreMed program, Research in the Neurosciences, Music and Chemistry and soon too be football program that kicks off fall 2010.

Katie

Georgia State is located right in downtown Atlanta. I am actually from a small town in Michigan so the experience I have recieved by living downtown in the midst of all the hustle is just amazing. They had one of the nicest housing facilities I had ever seen. They are a very up to date urban university which was exactly what I was looking for.

GSU is more racially diversed than any of the other schools I was accepted to. The diveristy isn't just the student body, it's the staff as well. Walking on campus there aren't large groups of people on one side and a different kind on the other. It is one big accepting family.

This has proved to be a tremendous help while adjusting to the college as a Freshman. The teachers and staff are very knowledgeable and willing to help struggling students. Overall, Georgia State University has proven to be a welcoming university.

Sara

GSU is a commuter school. The campus is spread all across downtown Atlanta, which is neat, but does require a lot of walking.

Ness

The prime problem many students have at GSU is that they feel lost. It takes a motivated, self aware student to do well on their own, or to find the help that many students don't find. From day one you either have to have your own plan, or find the university structure to give you that plan.
