Georgia Highlands! FTW....lol OR not! I have heard horrible things about KSUs admissions dept and such....but yet again highlands is giving me hell too! I think all schools slack in that dept! Imagine having that job! lol
KSU is an awesome school! Thats is where I am going once I get my associates at GH!
I hear that KSU is great once you actually get in. It's just a PITA to get admitted. lolOriginally Posted by IMPORTchic
KSU is one of the fastest growing schools in the country, we've got a fixed-funding lock due to a decision made YEARS ago that tried to get the school more funding based on their population at the time but essentially locked them out if they grew more. Nobody expected KSU to be anything but a sorta rinky-dink pinewoods college, now I tell people I go to KSU and people in goddamn Iowa know where I'm talking about (Because we apparently beat their Basketball team at some point.).
They can't change requirements to get in because of the same agreement for funding, and essentially got screwed on it. If they change their requirements they lose all the funding they have tied to that agreement. Because of that they are literally bombarded by every kid in the state of georgia with a high enough GPA to think he can try and get Hope, and hundreds more kids who know they won't get into Tech or UGA and don't know that there are plenty of other wonderful schools in the state if you want to study something besides undergrad business or any of our wonderful (Maybe I'm biased?) history or education courses. Anyways, it took me LITERALLY a year and a half to get into KSU (Fall, Spring, Summer, Fall) at Georgia Perimeter, applying for KSU every time, before I got accepted even though every time I had all my paperwork in on time and met all the requirements according to what they told me. It's a wonderful school, nice community, beautiful campus (Most of it anyways, between the student center and the library and past the new University College building towards the Social Science building and then off towards the new Bailey Performing Arts center is really nice, especially in about september or april, where everything is either a beautiful kind of orangy-yellow or bright lush green.) Anyways, if you live so close to KSU, do you ever creep out to any of the parking-lot-meets around Kennesaw/Town Center? There's some crap there, but there's always chaff in the wheat, heh.
Thanks for the info Kaiser. I wasn't aware of KSU's growth rate. Anyway, I used to go the meets and stuff around Kennesaw and Town Center but quit a while back when it became primarily rednecks in trucks and retards in ricer Accords.
