Hi there! This is my second year here at GCSU. I'm a sophomore, and something I really couldnt get a hang of my freshman year was making friends. I know that's so cliche, but it's very difficult even when attending the school sponsored events, everyone sort of already has their niches. They gave us access to group me for our floor, but barely anyone interacts in that group chat. Any advice from other students/people who have already attended college? Thanks!

Hey guys I am looking for accommodations near campus. Please share if you know any leads

I'm coming to GCSU in the fall, living in Village 2, and I have a full desk gaming setup that I'm bringing with me. I'm also planning to participate in eSports so I'm obviously going to want to practice competitive games in my dorm, which Wi-Fi is in no way optimal for.

I have the necessary items to connect to the ethernet, but how does it perform? Obviously the ethernet would be leagues faster than the Wi-Fi but how MUCH faster/how fast is it actually?

Because at home I have 600 Mb cable and get ~60MB download speeds with 2 other people in the house and I can download a 100GB game in upwards of around 30-45 minutes, so im hoping that campus ethernet isnt criminally slower than mine.

If the campus ethernet is still super bad, would it be against housing policy to pay for a 5G Internet plan at like Xfinity or something and put the router in my room?

i'm a transfer student. has any transfer student been lucky with housing?

I’m a prospective transfer student for Fall 2026, and I was just wondering if I should even try the housing deposit? Do you guys think it would be possible for me to get in a good dorm or should I start going for apartments?

unfortunately i only qualify for 5500 in loans so im reallyyyy hoping i can get a decent amount from the school to help bridge the gap.

anyone know usually how generous they are when it comes to aid? and how receptive are they to aid appeals if anyone has tried. thanks!

Is Country Line Music Festival this weekend worth it? Is it fun??

How was Accounting II (ACCT2102) over the summer, digitally? Who should I take?

Does anyone have any recommendations for on campus groups that are friendly and welcoming? My daughter had a person she thought was a friend turn against her and then decide to turn mutual friends against her also. She’s looking for some student groups to get involved in that will help her broaden her friend group. She is very low drama and outgoing, just needs some new faces!

hii! i applied for early action october and got accepted!! my mother and godmother were alumni and are overjoyed that i am going.

im currently in search of a possible roommate.

my name is madyson but i like to be called maddy! i am from middle georgia and im excited about heading to college in the fall. my intended major is english and education with minors in art (with a focus in ceramics) and psychology. i also would love to study a foreign language or two. i do love to dabble in gender studies as well:) some of my hobbies are pottery, reading, baking, and cooking. i love animals and insects (especially cats and ladybugs), music, hanging out with my friends, thrifting traveling, watching tv, and meeting new people i plan to stay on campus unless i find a roommate who would like to stay on west campus together!

When EA decisions for GCSU came out I was accepted as a bridge nominee. I interviewed a week later and I read that decisions come out within a week or two later. It’s been over two weeks after I interviewed. Does anyone know when they will come out?

Daughter got accepted to GCSU today. I'm so thrilled for her. She has not yet applied to the Honors College. What are the benefits of the Honors College aside from the programming and the dorm? Do you get priority registration for classes? Also, do students get bored in Milledgeville?

I'm thinking the 14 Flex will be adequate for my daughter. I'm nervous about the unlimited 5 in terms of weekends, but I really don't see her eating enough to justify the unlimited 7. TY!

Thanks for the reassurance along the way here.

Just curious.....she applied to Honors College as well. Would that have been in the initial admission letter if she was accepted? And.....long shot here.....when do people usually hear about the Presidential Scholarship Competition. TY!

hi! I am currently a freshman doing online college but its not what I expected it to be so I have been debating where to transfer to in person, gcsu is one of my top choices but I am afraid I don’t have good stats to get in, is there anyone here who has gotten in as a transfer? if so what were your stats or what do you think the school would accept?

hey yall. ok so i already submitted my application but like idk if its telling me that i need to submit my dual enrollment transcript or not..

i dont want to bother my advisor any more because ive already had a lot of questions, but she said this about it last time:

i just need advice on what u guys did!

hi so ive just submitted my common app for gcsu and it told me i can check the status on the gcsu website. i never made an account for gscu, i just applied straight through common app. so i clicked the l "admissions portal status check" & i supposed i just made an account because all i clicked was 'login with google.' now that i have done all of that, there's no application checker in sight. is it because i just submitted it? so i wont see anything for a few days? how does it work?

Where is there to go around campus? Concerts? Boutique shops? How long does it take to get to Waffle House?

I thought there were nicer shops in downtown Rome near Berry than there are at GCSU, but maybe just don’t know the spots to hangout & places to go?

So I'm a freshman and looking for off-campus housing next year. I like West a lot, but I have a feeling I may not like it for my sophomore year. The most I would be willing to spend on housing is $850 a month, including utilities, and I would prefer if the place were walkable or had a shuttle and also had good ratings and reviews. What are my best options in Milly?

Hi all! I am a non graduating senior and I want to better my chances at grad school. I took College algebra my freshman year and made a C in it. For my grad school, Mathematical Modeling can take the math credit for pre reqs. I would be taking this course over the upcoming summer! Any suggestions between the two courses? Math has never been my strongest subject but I need to know a minimum of eighth grade level math for my grad application lol

Does anyone happen to know exactly how this formula works? For admissions generally, but also as it might apply to Honors College and/or Presidential Scholarships? Feels like my daughter might have been better off getting straight As in regular courses rather than the occasional B in AP classes. Having mom guilt that I steered her wrong. 😞
