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!
Georgia State University is a wonderful schooling options for those looking for diversity, acceptance, and a good education. I personally chose this college because of the location in metropolitan Atlanta, and I absolutely do not regret that decision because its led to many opportunities while job-hunting. I've already applied to an internship at the Center for Puppetry Arts! Only 8 minutes from campus! The professors also are very respectful and competent. You'll be connected to many different people of all walks of life here, I genuinely believe this is the best Georgia campus when it comes to networking. Overall I think I made a wonderful choice with this university.
The experience at Georgia State is a hit or miss. You meet great people there and form new bonds with all sorts of different people, however, if you're interested in the academics side of it all, it's a different story. It is quite a large college so you don't get specialized attention, it is located in the city and the buildings are a bit spread out compared to normal college campuses, and the classes are a teach yourself concept. Nonetheless, the college still has a ton of diversity and is financially affordable!
