Georgia College or Georgia State?

College Search & Selection

<p>Hey guys, </p>

<p>So, my plan is to get into UGA, but if I don't, my current choices are Georgia College and Georgia State. I am planning on studying French but once I get in college, I want to explore opportunities to double major in something that has to do with International relations/business/something along those lines. I want to travel and use many languages. </p>

<p>Now, from what I know, Georgia State is incomparably more diverse and connected to the outside world than Georgia College. However, there is a 90% chance that I would have to stay at home, which is disappointing, because I wanted to move out and somewhat have a traditional college experience. I know that Georgia College would be able to provide me that experience, since the campus is more traditional (and gorgeous, in my POV). </p>

<p>Unfortunately, GSU lacks in the aesthetically pleasing campus department. But Atlanta is bustling with internship/job opportunities, which Milledgeville lacks. </p>

<p>I come here for advice. What should I take more into account? I would also appreciate it if actual students from these two colleges could give me a little insight. Thanks :)</p>

<p>You can always take a semester off to work in an internship. When do UGA decisions come out? You might just want to wait to see the results before deciding on your backup options (but do apply to both). Also can you afford to live on campus at GCSU?</p>

<p>The decisions for UGA RD come out April 1st. And yes, I can afford to live on campus at GCSU, thanks to the HOPE scholarship. I just want to make sure what backup would be best, as I feel like transferring may be a hassle later on (if I’m not happy with where I’ll be). I also want to work while I’m in college, not sure if I would take an actual semester off to intern anywhere though.</p>
