Plan Your VisitStudents Making an Impact
“Georgia Southern was the best choice because it is a large university, but in a small town where so much focus is on the University and college life… It’s such a close community that being a part of it gave me the confidence to become more independent and grow. The people here became like family, and they are what made me feel like I have a home here, too.”
“When I was researching schools, I found that Georgia Southern was really community-driven. The ratio of professors to students means that you can have more communication with your professors, and they get to know you by name. It was important to me to have professors who are invested in my growth and success.”
“I think the big thing that I’ve really appreciated about Georgia Southern [is] that when I speak to people who are staff and faculty, they do not dismiss me. They listen to me, my ideas, and then they actually try to help me accomplish those.”
