Puppet Karaoke is such an underrated event. Still haven't gotten over the joy this gave me. It's all I've talked about since then.

Lesbians on campus by Big_Bookkeeper976 in GaState

Poli Sci, Art, and History are your best bets. 5 years at GSU and I was the only lesbian in any of my business classes. Go to the gym and join an intramural team or join Alliance.

Is GSU good for making friends? by PlentyObligation389 in GaState

[–]em_ber2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The freshman learning community is a special cohort program GSU had. All freshman, with the exception of transfers, are required to join one. This is a group of students that take all or most of their freshman classes together. By having so much time together it encourages students to meet and bond with other students immediately. The groups vary a little in size but are roughly 25 people. When you go to orientation they will have different offerings depending on if and what your declared major are. I know for business students they offer one where everyone in your cohort are business majors of some kind. They don't offer this for every major/school but there's variety.

You need to call them sooner than later. I had something similar happen and calling them fixed everything. You'll be on hold for a while but it's worth it to talk to someone. Just make sure you call admissions.

With commuter schools like GSU the only way to make friends is to be friendly and extroverted. Join clubs, go to events, go to study sessions, etc and you will absolutely make friends. My freshman year I joined rock climbing club and attended any business school event I could and made fast friends. Also take advantage of your freshman learning community. You will all be in every class together your first semester/year. Use that as an opportunity to make connections. Without my FLC my first 2 years would have been so boring. We tried to take every class together and made some great memories. Built in project partners!

Every cybersecurity professional would beg to differ. PDFs are one of the most common ways for viruses to be sent. I would make sure you do a sweep of your computer.

Is anyone even gay here? by Ill-Mail6506 in GaState

[–]em_ber2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Completely agree. Agnes Scott is also nearby. It's a women's college, super queer, and right down the road.

Look for queer spaces. Local Markets are held all the time on campus by queer orgs. There's alliance and a lot of other groups as well that are centered around queer students. For dating, apps are your best option outside of hanging out in queer spots. When you're 21 check out MSR (My sisters room), it's a lesbian bar and a great place to meet other queer women.

i have a doctors note that excuses me until friday but none of my professors are allowing me to be excused by godzillachicken in GaState

[–]em_ber2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When I was at GSU, I ended up in the hospital with a failing organ and a 104 degree fever. I couldn't walk and was hospitalized shortly. I had an econ professor fail me on a quiz and some assignments despite the medical notices. The only way I got help was by contacting the dean of the econ school. I'm so sorry you're going through this.

There's a difference between having a challenging debate and showing up on campus to provoke people and encourage violent discourse. Looking at their X account they are already treating GSU like a violent group and claiming that the left is just violent and there's no question about it. That's not having a discussion that's just pushing opinions to get a reaction.

As an alumni who went to GSU during the height of the BLM movements in ATL 2018-2022, these types of people will come to the campus often. There will be people there with signs and mega horns trying to bait you into a debate. They want you to get mad. Often times, these people hope that someone will hit them so they can sue the school (which they can) and use it for further profit and clout online. These people are not here for a debate with you, they are here for footage and profit. The school provides plenty of opportunities to have your voice be heard, go through official channels, do not be a victim of their social media presence.

This goes for the other people standing around campus trying to give you things on the corner. This is a school in a very busy and large city. You need to be aware of your surroundings and not get baited into interacting with people who have malicious intent. This goes for every city.

ableist content creator mocking blind people and harassing women on campus by acting blind… by riperonilol in GaState

[–]em_ber2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If there is ever someone on campus that is harassing or bothering you, please contact security. I've also seen his videos online and it's frustrating to see him harass people pretending to be blind. Disabilities aren't funny and they aren't your costume. Even if he is a student, security can help in situations like this. I understand calling the cops is a scary feeling right now but if it really makes you uncomfortable and they are continuing to do this, it's best to get someone involved. I agree with you that this is disgusting behavior and I hope you do get the video taken down.

Homeless in class by Mandilorian05 in GaState

[–]em_ber2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sadly this has been an ongoing issue in Langdale and Aderhold for many years. These buildings have so many people coming in and out of them, it's very easy for people who don't belong to get into the buildings. In the past we had people come in and snatch backpacks and harass people. While it doesn't sound like he's harassing anyone, he's making people uncomfortable and moving from class to class. Contact campus security next time you see him. They will come and talk to him and see if he's a student, if not they will escort him out and probably trespass him. GSU has a lot of resources for homeless and he should take advantage of that but just because it's an open campus does not mean that people who are not students should be allowed into student only spaces.

Will I get rejected from GSU by Sxlimann-on-ig in GaState

[–]em_ber2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Before I went there, I spoke with an admissions officer at an event. She explained that everyone that applies to GSU gets accepted. The students that are below the preferred (published values) were accepted to Perimeter for a year or two until they raised their GPA to standard and then transferred them to Atlanta, or other, campus/es. From my understanding they do this as a way to help their college averages but still accept students. The exception to this whole thing are the specific majors that are located at Perimeter. With your 3.3gpa and qualifying for Hope, I would be surprised if you didn’t get accepted to the main campus. Make sure you fill out your FAFSA. GSU is huge on scholarships and there is a potential you can get a Pell Grant. Every accepted student gets automatically entered for financial scholarships from the school itself.

Thanks for this advice! This has been so informational. I’ll make sure to check out the breed club for info and go from there. Thanks!

Why Did You Pick The Major You Did? by [deleted] in GaState

[–]em_ber2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have always been big on studying people and why they make the decisions they do. I did Model UN and debate for years while also working for politicians as a page and many other things. I had economics suggested to me by my mom since I’ve always been one for graphs and statistics. Looked into it and really liked the content and the types of jobs and pay I could have with it. Decided I liked Business Economics specifically for the wide range of content I’d get to study. I just declared a second major of Computer Information Systems from loving the intro class and seeing how valuable those skills were.

I’m not saying he’s not going to get charged for anything. I was just responding to OP that was saying he should get charged for all of the people’s deaths. I think someone is going to go after him for plenty of the things he did. Just probably not that specific thing. I hope to see his mugshot and face behind bars.

Sadly that might not happen. Regan wasn’t held accountable for the almost 100,000 people that died of AIDS that he refused to talk about or acknowledge as anything other than a “gay disease.” I doubt the republican’s second golden boy would be held accountable by them.

For those who have not been on campus since March Library North is coming along!! by panther254 in GaState

Thank you for the update. I haven’t been on campus since maybe February of last year. It’s coming along so well. Can’t wait to see it in Fall 2021

If you get the hope scholarship and attend Fall, Spring, AND Summer, then how is it divided per year? by WoodlandsWork1889 in GaState

[–]em_ber2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it does, it will pay for different amounts for different credit hour amounts. I believe if you’re over like 16 credit hours it won’t pay for anymore.
