I LOVE GSU! Go Panthers! This beautiful college is located at the heart of downtown Atlanta. Which is the perfect spot for food, fun activities and school all in one. Imagine going to class one minute and then grabbing some exquisite Asian cuisine for lunch the next minute. There’s always something going on. Popular movies are frequently being shot downtown or you may run into some upper business people that could help you with your future career. The professors at this college are all reasonable and the students here are diverse and friendly. I would give Georgia State University a 10 out of 10!
Georgia State University is a diverse school located in downtown Atlanta. This location provides the students with several opportunities to become involved in local internships. I love that the campus if filled with school and city spirit. Students are always welcoming others and ensuring that no one is felt left out or excluded. However, the only con about this school is that because it admits so many students, that it becomes difficult for the staff to stay updated on emails and students' requests. For instance, because of the COVID-19 pandemic all of the staff has been working from home and because of this it is harder and takes longer to receive a reply from some of the school's departments. Overall, it is an incredible school that gives students opportunities to receive an excellent education and allows us to follow our dreams and make the world we live in a better place for us all!
Because of Covid, all of my classes have been online. I wasn't a big fan of online learning, but this didn't stop me from putting my best into the class. Some of my classes are Asynchronous, which means it's just recorded content and everyone learns it at their own time. But the other classes that are Synchronous are great. We meet on platforms like Zoom or Webex, one of my classes even has full-on lectures there!
Even though it is an online environment, my professors are actively paying attention to everyone's questions. They are very understanding and carrying. I've had a good experience with my professors
