What Students Say
Likes
- I love the amazing activities we have in the amount of free stuff we get. It sounds superficial, but with the dues we pay, I feel like we are definitely getting a return on our investment with the shirts, giveaways, activities on campus fine football games, etc..
Dislikes
- I seriously dislike the lack of security that we have in our school. It is so hard to get in touch with police and there was a violent incident almost every week. I do not feel safe
I chose this college as it was the cheapest, most diverse, in the state and had a great Hospitality program. Georgia State is a very diverse and great college for people who want to work in business or nursing given that is right in the city and we have access to amazing companies and networking. However, the inference instructor could be better – I wish we had more of a campus that made it feel like a campus culture – the campus is very open to the hustle and bustle of downtown, which is not really a great thing when it comes to safety and community and I think it affects the number of students we have engaged in afterschool activities. Because of the environment we are in, lots of students like to go to class and go straight home, so although there are lots of programs that are happening very less students take advantage of them.
Course Curriculum
I think it is subpar- high school level classes but my course syllabus is very relevant and helpful. No industrial exposure at all but I am just about to start upper-level major classes.
Faculty
Larger faculty and most are very passionate about the subjects they teach. Some are very approachable, and some never respond to emails or messages. Can’t remember exact names because classes are so large I rarely had any one-on-one interaction.
Campus Life
Very diverse, and lots of free events but the events always start super late. Tons of cool clubs. The library is very nice and modern with lots of study rooms, wifi is good, and the gym is amazing! Not a lot of participation in these activities though because the school is majority commuters.
Placement
Not sure- I’ve only been in school for two years and I have not really looked into or taken advantage of these programs.
Accommodation
Exams
- High school diploma and SAT/ACT score, nothing else was required for admission to the school. - UG: 3.28 - Requirements: No, I didn’t have to submit a CV for my application, nothing else was required.
Fees
Not sure because I don’t pay anything thanks to HOPE.
Scholarship
Yes, HOPE is 90% tuition, NEWH is $2,000 for Hospitality students including a required essay scholarship, and the CFA employee scholarship is $1,000
