    How do I use the KSU Writing Center effectively? 📝

    KSU alum. I went to the Writing Center religiously. Here's what I learned: In-person is better than online if you can manage it. Easier to show them what you're struggling with. But online works if you're at the Marietta campus or just busy. Bring printed copy if possible. Something about...

    What's the difference between UNG campuses?

    I've taken classes at Dahlonega and Oconee. The difference is night and day. Dahlonega: campus feels alive. People hanging out on the quad, events every week, dorm life, football games. You'll make friends easily if you put yourself out there. Oconee: it's a few buildings off the highway...

    I finally found a legit tutor and it's actually helping. There IS hope

    Paid for a "tutor" online who just sent me templates. Useless. Then I found the graduate writing center at my school. My tutor was a PhD student in my field. She helped me not just with grammar but with how to actually construct an argument in my discipline. My grades didn't skyrocket overnight...

    What do graduate students complain about most at Georgia Tech?

    I'm a PhD student in engineering. My stipend is $2,400/month before taxes. After rent ($1,500), utilities ($150), food ($400), I have $350 left for everything else. That's not sustainable. I'm taking out loans just to survive while doing full-time research that the university profits from. The...

    How do I afford Georgia Tech as an out-of-state student?

    Diego, I was in your exact spot. Too rich for need-based, too poor to write a check. Here's what actually happened: I got the President's Scholarship ($10k), a departmental scholarship ($5k), and an external scholarship from my hometown rotary club ($3k). Then I did work-study and co-op. Total...

    The Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta has student positions. They pay well, they're flexible with classes, and having "Federal Reserve" on your resume is gold. Also check out the Georgia State Capitol internships — they have part-time roles for students.

    Why waiting until senior year to think about careers is a huge mistake

    I have friends who are seniors and absolutely panicking right now. They're graduating in two months and suddenly realizing they have no resume, no interview experience, no internship, and no idea what they're doing after graduation. They're scrambling, and it's stressful to watch. Meanwhile...

    How do I schedule a mock interview at the Career Center?

    I'm a junior and according to the Career Planning Milestones, I need to complete a "career planning appointment" where I work with an advisor to discuss career plans and do a "mock interview focused on articulating transferable skills gained through their liberal arts education" . This sounds...

    What do first-year students need to do for the Career Milestones?

    I'm trying to stay on track with the Career Planning Milestones and found the requirements for first-year students. In their first year, GC students must "complete a career assessment and review the results through an individual or group planning session with a career advisor" . They also need...
