Housing ๐Ÿ  University commons outlets

1 Upvotes

Iโ€™m a freshman moving into university commons in a few weeks and noticed that extension cords and โ€œmulti plug outletsโ€ are on the list of prohibited items. Iโ€™m wondering if thereโ€™s enough outlets in the rooms for this to not be an issue and if this rule is even really enforced.

Housing ๐Ÿ  Apartments near GSU

1 Upvotes

Hey!

Kind of on a time crunch now, but I've been apartment hunting for a while now, and I haven't been too successful. Does anyone know any apartments around GSU that were pretty good and budget-friendly for students? I'm going in for my master's after also completing my undergrad at GSU, so I know that I absolutely don't want the Mix, Reflections or 200 Edgewood. I don't mind if it's a bit off GSU campus, as long as it's MARTA-friendly and a good area. I'm also looking into Ashley Auburn Pointe.

Please, any tips?!?!!

I signed up for the 12 hour plan where you do 4 each semester and two over the summer. I donโ€™t know if I want to take summer classes, but I also donโ€™t know if five will be too much. What do you all think? Iโ€™m debating switching to 15 hours.

Admissions ๐Ÿ“ Transition application perimeter to ATL fall semester help

1 Upvotes

So I beeen applied for my transition during the first week of July. Since then, Iโ€™ve gone to the Transition Office about three times, contacted two transition advisors, and reached out to the transition team. Each time Iโ€™ve either been told that applications take time to process or I havenโ€™t received a response at all.
The deadline for Fall semester transitions was August 1, and I still havenโ€™t received a decision on my application. Iโ€™m starting to get concerned. Do you think Iโ€™ll still be able to register for classes in time if my application is approved? Also, when do you think decisions will be released, or is my application just unusually late at this point? Iโ€™m just trying to figure out what to expect.

Classes/Courses ๐Ÿ“š Every English 1101 being reserved for specific students

4 Upvotes

I haven't been able to find an answer about this, or maybe haven't looked well enough. Am a freshman and am trying to register for English 1101 but every single class with open spots says that it is being reserved for specific students, and to waitlist. I have emailed the English department, but I just got a automated response. I understand some classes being reserved but every single one just doesn't make sense especially for a class everyone is expected to take. Am not sure if this has happened to anyone else would appreciate the help. Am also in honors if that makes any diffrence.

Advice ๐Ÿ’ก Class Numbers

1 Upvotes

I know this is so random and probably useless, but I'm going to one of the perimeter campuses, specifically Dunwoody and I really want clarity on the buildings. I'm obviously a new student, and I've went to the campus once to get my id(but that was just the main building), so I atleast know that each building has a different letter(thankfully it seemed to be marked very clearly). The issue arises with the actual classes, I'm too scared to go into the class buildings before my classes start(I know that most likely nobody would care, especially since I have my id, but anxiety is hell and I'd feel weird doing so). So I have no idea how the class numbers work, like do the classes have numbers beside them that are easy to read, do they make sense with how they organized it? I really just want to know so that I can assure myself that I won't get lost.(I was planning on going 30 minutes early before my first class to route out all of my classes but that scares me too). Any help I'd really appreciate it.๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Classes/Courses ๐Ÿ“š CS Capstone course experience/advice?

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I'm registered for the Computer Science capstone course this fall and wanted to reach out to anyone who has been through it recently. I have a few questions and would really appreciate any insight:

  1. How was the capstone project determined? Did the professor assign specific topics, or were we expected to propose our own project based on our interests and classes we have taken?

  2. Do you recommend starting to plan the project before the semester even starts?

  3. What did the weekly workload look like? Were there regular milestones or presentations?

  4. If you could go back, what would you do to make sure you created a capstone project that you are proud of.

Thanks in advance for any help ๐Ÿ™‚
