Experiences at GSU

So far my experiences at Georgia Southern have been fairly good. There are lots of things I love about this college, and then there are also some things I really dislike about this college. The hard part about being here though is finding the right balance between what I like and don’t like.

First, I cannot stand the food here at GSU, I am not used to eating so much junk food, and the options here are not broad enough to keep my interest, I like variety and I feel that our campus lacks significantly in that when it comes to food. Also probably the hardest part about being here, is that I’m so far away from my family. I’m from California, so while I’m here at college my family is a good 2,500 miles away back home. It’s very tough not being able to see them everyday, and not having the option to go home for the weekend if I wanted too. I’m definitely close to my family; so having to wait six months before seeing them again is quite unbearable. But I chose this school, because I wanted to ensure in the best future possible for myself, so as long as I stay focused and committed, it makes missing them a little easier.

One thing I loved about GSU from the moment I saw the campus, was how beautiful and small the campus is. I really feel like an individual person here and not just another face in the crowd. GSU allows me to feel safe and content because it has such a homey atmosphere about it. Another thing I really like, is how I have really nice roommates whom I have been able to form good friendships with. I think it’s important to feel safe and happy when in your dorm because it’s the only place you have at college that’s your safe haven, so when you have good roommates, it makes that experience even better.  Also I really enjoy the people here, everyone is always so friendly and nice, and getting to meet new people has been a lot of fun. I feel as though we are all here for the same purpose, so it puts us on a level of understanding for one another.

All in all though I have really enjoyed my time here at GSU thus far. I think this college really provides it’s students with the best opportunities possible, and they try to enforce a sense of Eagle pride in all of us, so it’s a great experience to be apart of.
