<p>I was wondeing how is Georgia State university? I am interested in attending I am a college Soph and was wondering how can I obtain in state tuiton if I live out of state? other than to move there?</p>
<p>terrible...in my school, the "not so bright" go there.</p>
<p>Good for pre law, business, econ, public policy, and music but other than that it is not so good.</p>
<p>sry, has this subforum been here the whole time? Never noticed lmao.</p>
<p>No, it’s brand new. I’ve looked for it in the past, but just noticed it today.</p>

<p>That doesn’t make the school terrible, because some of the “not so bright” from your school go there. From my school a variety of different students attend. Some who got accepted to both UGA and FSU (state schools of the like), were in the top of their class, and still choose GSU. However, they choose GSU, because it is laid back (less pretentious), contemporary, in a large metropolis, and cheap! Every school has the “not so bright” and very gifted. Just as every school has a broad spectrum of intellect in its midst. Pros: State of the art new facilities (gym, dorms etc.), DI athletics, abundant research opportunities, and it’s very diverse. My only complaints about the school is the location, i.e. the bowels of downtown Atlanta, as many public u’s: you are just a number, and the uber hip scenster student body. GSU is what I would call an “up and comer”, as it gets more competitive and they get a football team, I imagine it’s reputation will rival that of tech and uga.</p>
<p>*My brother transferred there his sophomore year, last year. He is entering his junior year in the fall. He loves it a little too much. I haven’t really met a dissatisfied student there.</p>
<p>Like most state universities, GSU has a wide range of diverse students. Some are trying to slide by – others are not missing a trick. However, for the most part, I am very impressed with the seriousness of my class mates and the quality of the classroom experience at GSU. </p>
<p>Bottom line: There’s a great education waiting for you at GSU if you want one. As a 50 year old “new” student with lots of life experience, a background from a highly selective school, and a college-age daughter at a highly selective school, my GSU experience makes me feel that the difference between big “name brand” colleges and state schools is mainly a lot of hype. </p>
<p>I believe more than ever that education is 20% where you go and 80% what you put into it. My teachers at GSU are excellent lecturers and care about their students. The only thing a smaller private school might do better is help with writing instruction. However, a kid at GSU (or similar schools) could improve his/her writing by volunteering for the school paper or taking lots of smaller creative writing courses. And if you don’t have $ 50 k a year to throw at your education, that’s NOT a terrible tradeoff. </p>
<p>Really, the school snobs on this website drive me crazy some time!</p>
