If I could pick one word to describe GSU: mismanaged

This university has a history of screwing over students and staff and it shows! The also have problems with accreditation for certain programs - so BE CAREFUL.

They would rather cut programs than re-evaluate their overhead costs. I don't think that workflow is a term that many of the departments are familiar with - again, it shows. Many students have had files 'go missing' or credits disappear depending on whether the professor liked them or not.

The Provost's office, the department which should serve as an advocate for the students, is anything but that. There are no student advocates at this campus.

GSU also has a history of violating the first amendment rights of students. Is this really the environment you want to learn in?

Oh sure, if you don't care and you want to get in and out quickly, this may be the school for you. If you actually care about what they do with the money you pay in fees, and you want to ensure your degree is taken seriously, I would avoid GSU at all cost. This school is like playing Russian roulette.

The BOG program is nothing but a money maker for the school. They jerk you around and leave you with a worth-less degree.

The majority of the students take this abuse because they are afraid to talk (since the majority of them have families to care for and jobs to worry about). GSU banks on this mindset.

Your admission to any university is a business contract.
