The instructors here are amazing. Every instructor I have had thus far has been willing to help out in any aspect of my school work. All you need to do is ASK for the help. The professors are very accommodating tot he students needs and are prepared to answer any questions they have for them. Even the graduate students you find teaching classes know their stuff. Everyone is easy to understand. The work is tough, but that's what you are in college for... right?
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I enjoy the facilities of Georgia State very much. The students and staff are all very lively. This category loses a star because of the fact it is located right in the heart of downtown. I'm not a city person but don't get the idea that this is totally a bad thing. If you are living on campus it means there is everything you could possibly need within walking distance. However, it is walking through the city. Sometimes when it rains you find yourself a fair distance from where you need to be. But if you know your way around sometimes you don't need to set foot outside due tot he number of buildings Georgia State owns. There are also the street panhandlers to think about. And just walking the streets in general. On the other side there are over 100 restaurants right on or next to campus so you have quite a selection. The housing facilities on campus are very nice (Some better than the apartments I lived in once). And the meal plan is decent.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Okay so its not the least expensive school in Georgia. The number of facilities Georgia State owns and operates is constantly growing and those student fees are very reasonable considering all the school has to offer (assuming you use it all). From an enormous Gym which includes a few basket ball courts, indoor track, many tread mills (with t.v.'s to watch in there), raquet ball courts, weightlifting areas, an Olympic sized swimming pool, and a game room with pool tables, etc.. Then you have the enormous Library building that has yet to fail my reading wants and needs. Then there is the career service center that helps with resumes ( & much more), the instructional technology center (helps in training of computer equipment and programs used for teaching or just for students to get a better grasp on things). As well as my personal favorite, the Digital Aquarium, where supplies such as video cameras, green screens, and SLR cameras are available for lease from the school. And many. many more. As far as on campus housing goes you couldn't ask for a better deal. The room and board cost is great for the downtown area and safe and secure. The rooms are of above average size for a college campus and provide a very comfortable living area for residents. The meal plan is also a fairly good deal if you eat all 3 meals a day every day other wise eating out might be cheaper if you plan on eating out a lot to begin with. The meals are of wide variety and substantial. Over all pretty good.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Okay so here are my tips:
1) Sit next to the smart people.... Not to cheat or anything but they are just as likely to teach you something as your professor is (assuming you are listening to them which brings me to...)
2) Listen to your professors. Classes aren't too hard as long as you pay attention. And not only listen to your professors but your classmates as well.
3) Make good use of the resources provided to you by the school. After all you are paying for them.
4) When signing up for classes check size of class to determine if it is going to be in a lecture hall or not (this may not matter to you but if it does it is nice to know before hand so you can plan for the class accordingly)
Which types of students will excel at your college?
This school is great for students who need some small classes for more direct subject material but can also learn in a large lecture hall for some other classes of varying degrees of importance. It's also a great school for students who are willing to learn and live in the city.
