Tuition, Cost & Aid

You defenitely get more bang for your buck at Georgia State. If you have to pay for you education you want to make sure you are getting your money's' worth. GSU not only provides you with the education you need to obtain career level jobs, but also provides student with the opportunity to intern and gain experience in their field of interest.

Everything penny you pay is worth it. There are so many free events that offer things like free food, prizes, just everything is free. The education is wonderful, and when you buy books the school buys them back when you are done. It is defiantly a bang for the buck!!!

Okay so its not the least expensive school in Georgia. The number of facilities Georgia State owns and operates is constantly growing and those student fees are very reasonable considering all the school has to offer (assuming you use it all). From an enormous Gym which includes a few basket ball courts, indoor track, many tread mills (with t.v.'s to watch in there), raquet ball courts, weightlifting areas, an Olympic sized swimming pool, and a game room with pool tables, etc.. Then you have the enormous Library building that has yet to fail my reading wants and needs. Then there is the career service center that helps with resumes ( & much more), the instructional technology center (helps in training of computer equipment and programs used for teaching or just for students to get a better grasp on things). As well as my personal favorite, the Digital Aquarium, where supplies such as video cameras, green screens, and SLR cameras are available for lease from the school. And many. many more. As far as on campus housing goes you couldn't ask for a better deal. The room and board cost is great for the downtown area and safe and secure. The rooms are of above average size for a college campus and provide a very comfortable living area for residents. The meal plan is also a fairly good deal if you eat all 3 meals a day every day other wise eating out might be cheaper if you plan on eating out a lot to begin with. The meals are of wide variety and substantial. Over all pretty good.

Since I am a citizen of Georgia, the school definitely provides more than enough bang for the buck. The facilities are great and the library has some really good resources, like free and legal sheet music!

However, the dining hall and many of the restaurants close on the weekends. If you cannot go home on the weekends, you have very limited choices of where to eat. Also, the music building is very old and the practice rooms are not entirely soundproof, but they suffice.

I live off-campus to save money on housing and I use Marta. GSU offers a great discount on monthly Marta cards for students (savings of $27 a month) and GSU is located conveniently in between the GA State Station (Blue/Green Line) and the Five Points Station & Peachtree Center Station (Red/Gold Line). With the new changes to HOPE, money's going to be a tight stretch for both incoming and current students. GSU offers great facilities such as the SRC and there's ALWAYS an event going on (and I honestly do mean ALWAYS). But, of course, every college could cut back on spending to make it more affordable for their students.

I am a poor student but i can afford lunch anyday. It's high but the food is good. I have Hope so I don't have to come much out of pocket but I do have to pay about 200-300 dollars after tuition. There are alot of events that offer free food and attendance.

I feel this was the best choice for me as cost goes for. Your money will not go to waste if you choose this school, tutoring, campus events, and organizations sets this school far apart from other campuses. With so much to do with the quality of an education you can't go wrong.

It is cheaper that most of the four year universities that I was considering before I made my final decision. But this doesn't mean you will be compromising on the quality of education that you will be receiving her. I have had professors that studied at some of the most prestigious Universities around the world.
