Elevators are super slow so make sure you’re super patient. So if you’re looking for friends to study or turn up with on the weekends frequently (off campus of course…) Patton hall is the place to do it. I chose Patton because it’s closer to the center of campus and a close knit community. I lived in Patton hall because I got to see what each dorm was like before I started as a freshman. Piedmont North is sometimes referred to “Decatur”. It has its own dining hall open seven days a week and basically the unfortunate people who aren’t giving much choice on room selections get the leftover rooms there. It is the farthest dorm away from the center of campus but there are shuttles (which aren’t very efficient). Georgia State did an awesome make over on this building despite everyone’s complaints. It is definitely not the fan favorite but at least you have a roof over your head! Piedmont North A is a renovated motel and Piedmont North B is a renovated hotel. It’s a dorm mostly for Freshmen, some athletes, and some foreign exchange students. If you’re on campus your options are Piedmont North (hmm), Patton Hall (woot!), University Commons (a city in itself), the University Lofts and Greek. Side note: If you build a relationship from syllabus week they are more likely to help you over students who only hit them up during finals week who beg for some extra points at the last minute. They love it even more when you ask questions in class about what they’re lecturing about. Professors absolutely love students who give a quack and show up to office hours to ask questions. How do you let your professor notice you from the rest? Talk to them. I’ve had professors with 200+ students alone in ONE lecture hall. So don’t be shy! Atlanta is your oyster! Side note: For those of you who don’t care you better start because after those four years slip from under you and GSU is giving you the boot out into the real world, you’re going to wish that you did some networking. And the perks of going to school in the city? The businesses that are downtown yearning for young hopefuls who are looking for opportunities to intern or shadow.

And if you don’t know where to start ask around in your specific college (Robinson College of Business, College of Arts and Sciences, etc). How can you be that diamond in the rough? Network! Go to resident hall programs, see events happening on campus, go to plaza! (goes down every Tuesday you better ask somebody!) There are tons of ways to get involved and build your resume on and off of campus.
