"Georgia Southern University is a great school. It has a big campus with a small community feel, great professors who are willing to go above and beyond to help you, and also has a diverse student body. I really enjoyed my college experience there."

"Overall, it was an amazing experience. The entire public health college truly cares about each student. The professors would meet with each student on a regular basis to help the student figure out what specific area they are most interested in. I felt extremely prepared and confident during my internship."

"I think it was a fun, rewarding experience. I do feel my particular school did not prepare me or offer much assistance in obtaining a job following school. They allowed certain things to happen that weren't the best choice for the students and I wasn't okay with that."

"It was small enough to feel comfortable but not too small to feel like a community college. The campus is beautiful and the professors are attentive. There's not much to do in Statesboro, but it's a nice, small town."

"GS had professors that encouraged me to challenge myself, produce and present research, and network with professors and speakers in order to aid in professional development and overall success. I couldn't have done all of the research and presentation at a bigger/less individualized school."

"It is hard to find a good job with just a bachelor's degree. I found a job in my field and was able to use my degree. No regrets"

"Georgia Southern University has amazing professors who have real world experiences to offer students advice. The courses in my program are very comprehensive, and the professors focus on students actually understanding the thought process versus administering a grade. Plenty of opportunity to meet with your professors if you are not understanding a concept."

"I loved the campus. It wasn't huge and sprawling like some college campuses. It was a beautiful, condensed campus. Overall, my experience was great. I had great professors who really cared and taught well. I loved my major and the professors within my major. Statesboro gets kind of old, but that doesn't take away from the educational experience at Southern."

"One of the biggest pros of the program is the friendly atmosphere amongst the students and faculty. Rather than an extremely competitive feel, in which everyone is just trying to out-do everyone else, it has a very welcoming feel to the program, in which everyone wants to support and be uplifting to everyone around them. One of the cons is the faculty from other programs seem more willing to help than our own program's faculty in terms of networking and help into getting in a doctorate level program."

"I am part of the Graduate Program for Electrical Engineering at Georgia Southern University, and it has given limitless opportunities for research with incredibly talented staff members. The professors here are definitely experts in their field, and they continue to work diligently in expanding their field of study with new avenues of of research and projects. Additionally, The city of Statesboro, GA is a beautiful place with lots of opportunities to relieve stress and have a relaxed evening. There is always an event sponsored by the city or university to attend as well as many clubs of differing interests to join."

"I enjoyed my undergraduate experience so much I stayed for a Master's degree! During my time as an undergraduate, I gained valuable experience that I was able to carry into internships and my research. There were so numerous ways to get involved and have fun! When I wasn't studying, I was playing intramural sports, watching plays or participating in adventure trips! Great school and great experience!"

"Georgia Southern is a respectable school, but dealing with financial aid is often stressful. The education program is very intense and thorough. While I am proud to have earned my degree and I support the school, I would not recommend it to any new college student. If you are a graduate student, it should be fine."

"The MPA program offers small classes with professors who are highly knowlegable in their area of study. They are willing to help, but also let you figure things out on your own. Coming to class is a must if you want to do well."

"The MPH program at the Jiann-Ping Hsu College of Public Health at Georgia Southern University provides its students with quality instruction in all of the core areas of Public Health. Upon completion of the program, students are equipped with an advanced knowledge of Public Health and the Health Sciences, and continue to receive guidance from faculty and staff members throughout the course of their academic and professional careers. The JPHCOPH is definitely a great choice for any individual desiring to study the health sciences."
