I feel that I am learning a lot at GSU. When I started my second semester in Fall 2009, I attended Summer 2009, I thought i would be able to just breeze through my classes, but that was not the case at all. I feel that I was being challenged in all classes. It was not where i could just skim over the material and be okay. I actually had to sit down and study, which I never did before. In the end it did pay off, i was better prepared for class and the information did not just leave my head after I took an exam. It was there to stay. Your professors are there to help you.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
YES. The campus is beautiful and there is never a dull moment. There is always something going on. There are many activities that you can get involved in on and off campus. Eagle Entertainment provides concerts, we even have our own talk show. There is a state of the art gym, the RAC, that has everything even rock climbing. When it's time to hit the books Henderson is the place to be. The library even has different floors depending on what noise level you can take. It comes in hand when finals arrive.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
I definitely think that I am getting the bang for my buck. GSU is one of the cheaper universities out there. On average, a semester i spend a little over $5,000 (not the average price for everyone attending). That includes paying rent at my off-campus apartment. If you get HOPE and Pell Grant, as i do, you virtually have to pay nothing out of pocket. At that price I am getting a quality education and a nice place to live.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Just try to have your priorities straight when you get there. I'm not saying not to have fun, but just know there is a time and a place for everything. GSU does live up to its reputation of a party school, there is always something going on. You just have to know what you are there for.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Those who want a large university feel but still have the closeness with their professors as a small university. If you are interested in the nursing field, GSU is top rated. If you are also interested in the music/arts program, business or research.
