    If you are from New Jersey man, let me be honest with you, i would not go to Georgia Southern. You will in general not fit in with the majority of the party kids there, its a lot of southern kids with a lot of pride in their heritage. Not a lot of northern kids from what i know.

    Georgia State i've never been a fan of.

    Valdosta is a bit of the same boat as Georgia Southern, not as bad though.

    Ksu i think would probably be the best balance for you. Near the city like you wanted but still in a town with bars that have majority college students. I'm biased and will tell you that UGA is the best if it was an option.
    Yep. The only thing with KSU is I live 10 minutes from it and I want to live as far from my mom as possible, or at least far enough where she won't feel like driving to.

    I used to go to southern and don't anymore because as fun as partying 24-7 sounds, it gets old. I figured out that I was drinking way more than I should (which got me kidney disease) and smoking more than I ever have. Thats about all there is to do around there. If your not in a frat, your bored. You get bored you can spend money on things you don't need, play halo, or start drinking. There is no good jobs there, if you can find one. And the whole 14 hours of class and nothing else to do is so boring.

    I now go to KSU, live in Actworth right off wade green, have a awesome full time job which I am making BANK money, and love it. I am much much happier than I was at southern.

    Yeah, you caught the party bug, lol. I went to my fair share of them too! I worked in the boro, made about $450 a week, school full time, and still made it to Savannah for fun times.

    I was on campus at alot of the functions there. Kept me busy and happy.

    Time management, lol......

    Nothing wrong at all for wanting to go to school with some partying.





    If you study all the time and have no down time then you will break down eventually, its just a matter of time. Work hard, play hard.




    It sounds like GA State is best for you if you want to be near a big city, and its something if you aren't into fraternities you can still have fun there. If you can't find something you like in Atlanta or any other big city then its you that is the problem, not the school.


    Schools like Clemson, Ga Southern, Auburn that are in smaller cities kind of need things like greek life to stimulate the environment when there is nothing around. Places like Gainesville, Tuscaloosca, Atlanta, Columbia, and Athens are big enough cities where you will be happy either way. There is a good bar scene where people not in greek life can enjoy themselves, and still a greek scene if thats what you want to do.



    Its all preference.






    Go to www.collegeprowler.com that is the single most unbiased source about colleges you will see out there. It tells you everything from academics, housing, campus food, strictness, drugs, athletics, and how hot and easy to talk to the girls are. The site breaks it down for you and interviews random kids on campus from all backgrounds.



    I will say though it might not have smaller schools on there like Southern, KSU, or State. I know it has pretty much any big state school though and more renowned (spelling?) private schools.


    but anyways take a look. There is a school for everyone, it just depends on what kind of person you are.
