Georgia State University Reviews
Rating 3.71 out of 5 5,984 reviews
I had the most amazing experience at Georgia State University. The professors and staff are all so helpful and supportive, and the course offerings are outstanding. I especially liked the diverse student population which gave me an opportunity to learn from different cultures and backgrounds. Getting my degree from GSU was one of the best decisions I ever made and it set me up for success in my career. I would highly recommend GSU to anyone looking for a great four year college experience!
Georgia State University provides an incredible sense of diversity and job opportunities. However, the campus itself is rather unsafe as you must take into account that it is located in a large city. Overall, the student life there is great and the dorms are quite nice as well! This college has amazing students coming from many different backgrounds which is inspiring to see.
I am a current student at Dunwoody Perimeter Georgia State University and I would say that my first year at this institution went very well. They are very supportive and well to students. I am studying due to FAFSA and anytime there is “leftover” money, it goes directly back into my bank account. Since I am of course a college student, I appreciate this so much because most of the time this goes for my books and school supplies, and for other miscellaneous bills I have in my day to day life. Paws, ICollege, and other systems they have make learning/staying connected with my studies so simple so I’m never lost. Even if I am, our professors are very well to us and are very forgiving if there is any issue at all. I enjoy this school very much and for being a communication major I would say it’s going great so far!
