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

Hostel:

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.

Hostel:

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.

Hostel:

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.

Hostel:

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.
