How to Have a Rewarding GSU Experience

As a freshmen, you are probably scared and anxious about college. One of the biggest steps of your life, there are so many stories about what it’s all about. Everything from the good, like making life long friends, and the bad, like unrelenting professors. Remember this, freshmen year will be the best year of your life. So, soak up every minute of it. It will fly by, and suddenly you will be a sophomore, junior, or senior! 

If you are looking for a new, truly unique experience, then GSU is the right school for you. Here’s why: going to school in an urban environment like Atlanta is the most valuable, rewarding, and fun college experience that you will gain. Georgia State, located right in the heart of downtown Atlanta, has been ranked as one of the top research institutions in the country. Taking the right professors will get you the classes you actually like and the most knowledge that you can ask for. At Georgia State, you will be pushed both academically and professionally. Georgia State has ties to a lot of business and research, and Atlanta houses offices for some of the biggest people and companies. This literally pushes everyone. Plus, everyone strives to be the best. There are so many organizations and opportunities for you to be surrounded by like-minded people. Don’t worry that you won’t fit it or be able to find your niche. 

Finally, social-wise our school is so fun! From the school sponsored Pantherprowls to some of the celebrities that come to our campus. At our basketball games or during Homecoming, there is no shortage of excitement. We BLEED BLUE. Everyone is proud to be a Panther. This year is sure to be a memorable one. With the consolidation of Georgia State and Perimeter College and the basketball team sending its first player to the NBA, there’s sure to be even more news and developments to top these. Plus, Georgia State really is getting bigger with the building of a new dorm near the Commons and the new Law School Building that will have a 24 hour library.

If you are a new student to Georgia State, then you should be super excited. If you are a returning Panther, than you should be just as excited too. Believe all the hype, we are arguably the best school in the South. Her Campus GSU will be here with you through it all!
