If you love Florida but don't have Florida money then Valdosta is for you. It has Florida vibes with palm trees and the weather is similar as well. It rarely gets cold but when it does the next day you're back to wearing shorts. The professors I've had to deal with were average but I am only a freshman I haven't met that one professor that's going to change my life yet. Your meal plan includes money for other food not just the dining hall. You have on and off campus options. On campus includes moes, chic Fa la and which wich but of course you'll get tired of that or just feel fancy and wanna go out. The school card (one card) includes off campus restaurants as well! They provide you with a list but it's expected to grow. They do not provide close enough student parking though. You must take a bus to your car.
I like the emphasis placed on student involvement in sports whether it be intramural or Varsity. I like the fact that Club Sports are encouraged. I like the fact that school spirit is strong. Students are encouraged to participate in pep rallys. The athletic facilities are excellent. I also like the fact that I can participate in off campus trips that involve rowing, kayaking, hiking, etc. Go Blazers!
As a freshman at Valdosta State University, I have experienced one of the most successful semesters in school. With Student Life and other student organizations always finding ways to help students feel at home, I have adjusted to this new life away from home. The professors have challenged me to do my best in their classes to rise to the occasion by believing in myself and working hard each day. I have found friends who are all about doing well in school and accomplishing some pretty amazing goals to be the best in their careers. Even though Valdosta is a smaller school than other schools, I enjoy real connections made with people who support my dreams and who are willing to help me accomplish my goals in life. I appreciate the Valdosta State University staff for working hard everyday to make my dreams come true with dedication, hard work, perseverance, challenges, and most of all support.
