So, I know there's some of you wondering how Georgia State is.

They suck

I've been screwed over by State 3 times already. So yes, this is going to be a pretty long rant about how shitty Georgia State is, and why I want to transfer out.



Spring semester '05 was my second semester at State. Toward the end of the semester, i get a letter in the mail from GSU, telling me that i owe them $2,000 . WTF? I thought to myself," Um wtf? Why the hell do i owe the school $2,000 when i have HOPE?" So i call and they tell me i haven't paid my tuition. I tell the lady on the phone that i have HOPE, and she said that it hasn't gone through. So i had to drive all the way down to State, talk to someone in the financial aid office, and she tells me,"O we forgot to hit the pay button on your HOPE." And then i have to pay $37 for my HOPE to go through and process . Since when do you have to pay for your HOPE to go through?

Then, fall of '06 comes by (this past semester). And i go to class the first day, only to find out that ALL of my classes have been dropped, and i didn't know about! So once again, i make a trip to the financial aid office to find out what happened this time. The line is HUUUUGE!!! Well, after talking to some other students there, i find out that it happened to 5,000 other students as well. Our HOPE didn't process, AGAIN. WTF?! So i finally get to talk to some dude at financial aid, and he tells me to just fill out the HOPE form again, and hope that it goes through in time . I have to hope that my HOPE goes through?! Then, finally i get to talk to another lady and she tells me the same as before. She makes a phone call to "someone upstairs" and says,"O ok, he has a 3.8? Ok." Clicky pow, my HOPE goes through. I almost didn't get to go to class this semester b/c of that shit. Their admissions sucks.

Then, yes they screwed me over one more time, on friday, i checked my final grades. I dropped a class this semester b/c i didn't want to take it, MICROeconomics. So as i'm looking through final grades, i see a WF. I thought to myself, "Hmmm a WF? O shit!! WTF?!! A WF? That's a Withdrawal Fail!!! What the hell?!" Yea the son of a bitches gave me a withdrawal fail after i had withdrew from the class the correct way. The deadline to withdraw was October 15, and i withdrew like October 10th because i knew there was no way of me passing. So i talk to the professor of how do I withdraw, and she told me just to go online to GOSOLAR and do it there. I then proceed to make sure of that and talk to an advisor and they tell me the same thing, just do it online. I ask her if i have to fill out any paper work and she tells me no. So i go home that same day and withdraw from the class. It said withdraw next to the class and then when i pulled up my weekly schedule, the class was not on there. So i was pretty damn sure of myself that i had withdrew from my class properly, then i see that WF?!

So my GPA for the semester was a 2.0. WTF?! Luckily my GPA had been high enough to take a hit like that or i would of not kept my HOPE b/c my 30 hours were up. My GPA dropped from a 3.8 to a 3.2 . Now, once again, i have to go talk to them and find out what the hell happened and how it can be fixed

So, in conclusion, FUCK YOU GSU, thanks for fucking me over, and over and over. And i know i'm not the only one to be fucked over. I have plenty of more stories from friends that have been fucked over by state. Like a girl i knew that registered for classes, then decided she wasnt going this semester and dropped her classes before the semester even started, and still got a WF for all 5 of the classes that she never even took, and lost her HOPE. Or the girl that was in line with me that told me she was a senior and that she had this happen to her every year she has been there.

Sorry for this big ole long story, but this is just the reason why i want to transfer out, and go to KSU or something. Hope you guys learn something from this
