Georgia State University - [GSU], Georgia, Atlanta - Accommodation

I live off campus. The monthly average rent for a single room is $750 and for on-campus, it is $1250. Feasible options include sharing your room with other students.

I chose this university due to their extraordinary achievements in biomedical research arena.

Average rent to pay for a 2 bhk is around 400$ excluding other charges. Total is around 600$ per month

I liked the research and course work at Georgia State University. I also liked the location of the university.

I don't live on campus.

Close to my house.

I was a transfer student from a community college in Dunwoody, GA and my current university owns the campus I use to be at, so when I applied to transfer it was quite easy and also at my other campus I had already completed two years of my major.

In my opinion one can go in for on campus housing for the first year but beyond that it's just throwing money away. Because the wait-list was full, I chose to stay off campus where I'm paying around 550 USD including utilities for a shared room. Food and groceries is another 100 (generally)with makes it around 650 USD a month which is a decent deal considering the cost of apartments after the pandemic. On an average you can expect to spend around 500-650 if you are planning to share a room and anywhere around 900-1000 USD for a single room. But you can always cover these expenses yourself with on campus jobs.

There are a few aspects including the college being ranked as #1 in the country for undergraduate teaching coupled with the opportunities and prospects Atlanta.Other than that GSU has a reputation for being the one of the most innovative universities in the country alongside Princeton and it also allows you to engage in undergraduate research programs.So overall, I really liked it.
