The faculty at this school is so unhelpful. If you call one department for a question that they SHOULD be able to answer, they refer you to another department. I never feel like I get the answers I am looking for when talking to any staff (Student Advisement Center or specific schools). Apart from the staff, the student body is like a small high school with a lot of different cliques. The courtyard (main part of campus) is ALWAYS crowded, where people are rude and won't move out of the way. The University's online system called Desire2Learn rarely ever loads. I constantly have problems accessing my courses. If you are having to apply to a pre-professional school (Nursing, Business, etc.), you cannot meet with an advisor of that specific school until you have 48 hours completed. Each time I tried to meet with a nursing advisor, I was unable to. The staff would place me with a random advisor that knew nothing about the nursing program. It was a waste of my time. Specifically for the nursing school, I turned in my application 2 months ago and they stated we would receive our decisions within 4-6 weeks. It's now been 8 weeks and I have yet to hear anything besides the generic response "The committee is still making decisions..." Overall, nobody is helpful here.

I hate Georgia State University, I started GSU in Jan 9, 2010., Technically I completed GSU August 10,2012. The courses at GSU are a joke. Getting admitted into GSU isn't the problem, the problem occurs when students are close to graduating and then find out that, another course has been added to their major.. (YAYYAYYAYY!! Not). Oh Yes, the math competency requirement which keep student's from receiving their degree. Word of advice, get permission from your college to take the math class else then transfer it over to GSU. I took classes at perimeter bc they was cheaper. It saves you time and alot of heart ache, trust me I speak from experience. Recently, I completed the math competency requirement and I must say it was a up hill battle with GSU. SOOOOO GLAD GSU is out my life!! However, for the new victims beware, transfer from GSU dont become a GSU stastic!

please excuse my English. am an international student. i have not liked GEORGIA STATE one bit. i am here to try to go to med school. there is a distinct favoratism given to black pre med students and it is not fair. they already get free tuition and other forms of money and will get in if they just keep showing up. the campus grounds are very dirty and unclean. Police drive around in circles for whole day without stepping out of the car. the crime level is very high in Atlanta. GSU students become victims of crime very often. i think that the school has poor reputation. many students who are American citizens have idea to transfer colleges to others in state. financial aid is a very big problem at GSU. many international students in USA but there is never enough money to help us. we work and support our college tuition. meanwhile other students commit crime and party nonstop and still receive scholarship through H.O.P.E. program. my department is not so bad but there are still issues with proper equipment and professors. so please if any student is an international student please consider a different university
