"As a student returning to the classroom after a three years hiatus, I find that environment is so diverse that I am not alone in being a non-traditional student amongst those who would be defined as the "traditional" graduate/college student."

"Georgia State's location in the center of Atlanta offers a unique experience for urban living, while its proximity to the CDC grants students unique internship opportunities. The department offers a wide range of classes and teaching positions, and the extensive selection of labs at the university offers a wide variety of studies for graduate students. The department is transitioning into a much larger unit of the university and therefore sometimes experiences growing pains."

"I am a PhD student at the Andrew Young School of Policy Studies, Department of Public Management and Policy. I believe this program is Georgia State University's biggest and best asset. While the program is quite rigorous and at times unbearable, I believe this is to be expected in any reputable doctoral program. In addition, the PMAP faculty is one of the most supportive and available group of professors I have ever worked with; the funding is reasonable and flexible; the school is directly on the MARTA train line; and because many of the faculty are nationally or internationally renown in their specific fields, it is a privilege to work with them and their prestigious network of colleagues. Thanks GSU!"

"The quality of education is superior but campus dining, safety and transportation (excluding marta) are not the best. Lack of a campus like neighboring Georgia tech and Emory is a major drawback. The chemistry, biology and neuroscience programs are very competitive with excellent research opportunities. If you look past the lack of a campus, it's a very good school for academic development."

"The Applied Linguistic program at GSU is one of the best. This rating is not representative of the program and reflects issues that are beyond what individual programs can offer."

"On one hand, the city is really unsafe and it makes the campus unsafe. This makes it really hard to feel comfortable socializing, even though the school everything they can. Same with the public transportation system: it is not bad in itself, but because the city is unsafe, it's not the safest system to use at night."
