Student Reviews
Pirate to Eagle, yet Still Sailing
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
I began at Armstrong State University in the spring semester of 2017. A semester later it was announced that the small, tight-knit university would merge with the much larger Georgia Southern University. After the initial adjustment I enjoyed the same small individually focused classes in my major, mixed with larger lecture hall core courses. The campus is fairly diverse...
My personal opinion...
Anonymous rated 3 out of 5 stars
Georgia Southern is a great university, however, many students are not attending for the academics and community, which is a big part of who I am. I also do not really have the same interests as most students here. Having gone to an art school in the middle of my college career and coming back, it was a large adjustment.

As an international student, you’ll enjoy the cheap environment and the small feel of the school. The international students office on the other hand are not helpful, my DSO was lazy, unwilling and very racist. I will recommend this school though. Good luck with your applications!
