I love Georgia Southern! I come from metro Atlanta and I love being where I can retreat to the out doors. The campus is so beautiful and peaceful. It is very diverse in its students and always has something going on for students to do. I just finished my freshman year and I lived in a traditional dorm on campus and I would never trade that first year experience for anything! It was a lot of fun and you walk away with a lot of friend who live on your hall. Yes, it can be loud at times but simply ask people to quiet down and it is usually not a problem. I am involved with GSU Adrenaline Show Choir. It is a blast! Getting involved with some sort of club or activity is a great way to stay focused and really find some great people you can meet with. Southern has the biggest Recreation Center in the south. It is a great place to get out some steam if thats what you do when you work out. It also has two pools and hot tubs (indoor and outdoor) with a sauna. There are also great classes that you can take like yoga (my favorite!) to aerobics to self defense. It is always great for you mind and body to relax and do something for your self. So pick different things to try out and find your favorite! If you are into religion there are many different groups on campus to get involved with! Ask questions and find the one that interests you. I am involved with Campus Outreach witch I really love. As for classes yes some can be very difficult and some teachers are very picky and set in their ways. I suggest you research your teachers on ratemyprofessor.com before you register for their class. If stuck with a teacher that might be a little harder then you would like, make your presence known. Ask for help, they are teachers they want to help you I promise! Just don't wait till late in the semester to ask for help. Go right away! read full review
