    Why I'm choosing Georgia Southern for engineering after all

    I transferred from Georgia Tech to Georgia Southern. Best decision I ever made. At Tech, I was a number. At Southern, I'm a person. At Tech, I competed for lab time. At Southern, they ask "what do you want to build?" At Tech, I was anxious. At Southern, I'm excited. The name brand matters to...

    How good are the engineering labs at Georgia Southern?

    The labs are fine. The problem is demand. Everyone wants to use the CNC machine. Everyone wants to use the 3D printers. If you're passive, you'll wait. If you're proactive, you'll get time. I emailed my professor and asked if I could come in on Saturday. He said yes. Most professors will say yes...

    Why I chose Oglethorpe over Georgia State

    I chose a small school over a big state school for the same reason. My parents didn't get it either. "But the big school has more resources." Resources don't matter if you can't access them. A small school with open doors is better than a big school with locked ones. The professor remembering...

    How do I find internships as a Georgia Southern engineering student?

    Skip the cold emails. Go to office hours. Ask your professors. I got my internship because a professor forwarded my resume to a former student who was hiring. Professors have networks. Use them. Also, the career center resume workshop is actually good. Go to it. 📝

    Is the "first-year experience" at Berry actually worth the extra cost?

    Okay, let me give you a different perspective. I went to a huge state school with no first-year program. Just "here's your dorm, good luck." I was fine. Made friends in clubs, in classes, at parties. But I also watched a lot of kids struggle. Like, really struggle. Transferring out, dropping...

    Everything I wish I'd known before starting at Spelman (from a senior)

    I'm graduating from Spelman in May. Computer science major. Dual-degree program with Georgia Tech. I've learned a lot. Here's what I wish someone had told me. 🎓 One: The sisterhood is real — but it's not automatic. People talk about Spelman's sisterhood like it's magic. It's not. It's work. You...

    Why I'm applying to Spelman's dual-degree engineering program (and why my parents are confused).

    Spelman has this dual-degree program. Three years at Spelman, two years at Georgia Tech. You end up with two degrees: a BA from Spelman and a BS in engineering from Georgia Tech. It's the best of both worlds: liberal arts + top-tier engineering. 🔧 My parents don't get it. "Why not just go...

    How does Spelman's "sisterhood" culture affect non-Black students?

    I'm Asian American. Spelman is a historically Black college. I've read that Spelman has students of all races — but mostly Black. Will I fit in? 🌍 I reached out to Spelman's admissions office. They connected me with a current student — an Asian American woman — who agreed to talk. She said...

    I'm a man. Can I take classes at Spelman? How does that work?

    Spelman is a women's college. I'm a man. But Spelman is part of the Atlanta University Center — which includes Morehouse (men's) and Clark Atlanta (co-ed). So can I take classes there? 🤔 I've heard that some classes are open to students from other AUC schools. Computer science, for example...
