I had an overall wonderful experience while attending Georgia Southern. It did not take long to get from one side of campus to the other, which was helpful when I had classes in different buildings and had short periods of times to get between them. The campus was well taken care of, and was especially beautiful in the spring when all the flowers began to bloom. I would say my favorite part of school was my professors. They truly cared for their students' education and well-being, and were always accommodating to each students needs. Classes were always a joy to attend, even when the subjects were not the most entertaining. If I had to experience college all over again I would choose to go back to Georgia Southern.

Georgia Southern University is a great college thus far. The campus is beautiful and the professor's are great. The University offers many different extracurriculars and clubs such as greek life, sports, student government, Beta Club, etc. The University also requires all staff to have drop-in hours, which helps tremendously. The tutoring program is also a big help, which they provide you with free tutoring whenever needed. The only thing I would like to see change is the dining hall food. The dining hall consists of fatty foods such as pizza, pasta, fried chicken, etc. I would prefer greener options to allow my health to stay in order. Otherwise, Georgia Southern University is great!
