Looking for 1 girl to sublease at Magnolia Park for spring 2025

Hi I am planning on transferring this spring 2025 semester and am looking for a girl to sublease my 2 bed apartment at Magnolia Park. The rent is $700 a month with utilities included. It is on the first floor, you will only have one roommate, and you will get your own bathroom as well as a walk in closet. It's a couple minute drive to campus and there is a shuttle running to gcsu and gmu. The complex also has a security gate. Let me know if anyone has any interest.

PSA - Flat fee tuition can cost you more on HOPE

Hi Folks - please be aware that GCSU charges a flat tuition for anything above 7 hours. If you take 7 or if you take 15 you will be paying the same price. It behooves you to take as close to a full load as possible to get the most bang for your buck.

Note that if you are on HOPE that it only pays for the hours you are taking so if you are taking 10 hours at GCSU you are paying for 15 but Hope is only covering 10 and the rest comes out of your pocket! You always pay for the fees ($745 in Fall 24).

I saw a similar post about GT. Someone suggested that they got around this pay signing up for 15 and then dropping a class later. They ended up with a W, but I guess that the money was more important that the W. YMMV. Good luck.

GCSU PMHNP Program

Hello everyone! Just asking around to see if anyone else applied for GCSU PMHNP program starting this upcoming Summer 2024. I have submitted an application as well as the interview questions/ recording to the provided link given to me by the departments administrative assistant by the deadline of March 15th. Per the schools website, admission decisions notifications were ti be given on April 1st. As of today, April 9th, I have yet to hear anything concerning an admission decision. I have reached out to the administrative assistant for the department several times in which they have not responded to an email. I have even reached out to the graduate admission department, in which they responded promptly letting me know that they have not heard anything from the department either and have no information on my decision status. Just wanted to know if anyone else is having this problem or have anyone else heard anything back yet concerning acceptances or rejections.

Bridge Program

Hi all! I just interviewed for the Bridge program. GCSU is my dream school. I was really nervous to apply as I scored low on my SAT. I'm so thankful to have been interviewed for Bridge, now I'm anxiously waiting to hear back if I got accepted. Admissions told me I should hear back by the end of next week. I was curious if anyone remembers their turn around time from when they interviewed/heard back and if you were notified by email from the Bridge program directly or through your student admissions portal? Thanks!

Felt heavily in the bellamy apartments. The smell from my neighbors spills over into my apartment. Unsure if I could pass a drug test and I’ve never even smoked

Tips for Passing the GA History Exam

Hey, so I recently took and passed the GA History exemption exam and I thought I’d share some tips in case anyone else was planning on taking it at some point :)

First of all-in my opinion-, this exam is quite difficult. I took the GA and US constitution exams as well(I was exempt from taking the US History exam because of my APUSH score) and this exam was easily the most difficult out of the three. I also didn’t pass the GA History exam the first time either. If you end up having to retake the exam too, you should know that there is a different version each time. Some questions remained the same both times, but overall the two exams were quite different.

In order to study, I would recommend looking over this Quizlet(https://quizlet.com/606532187/misa-proof-usg-georgia-history-legislative-requirement-exam-flash-cards/?x=1jqU&i=en5kl) and reading over the History overview section on the GA Encyclopedia site. I really studied those while preparing for my second attempt and they helped a lot.

When looking over the GA encyclopedia page, I would really recommend clicking on any links they mention and skimming over the articles they bring you to. The overview page doesn’t always go into detail about some of the places or people it mentions, so clicking on the links within the page can give you more information. Most of the questions require you to know certain details about an event, place, or person, so clicking on the links that the overview page mentioned was really helpful for me.

Knowing historical figures is really important. Most of the questions I had on both versions were about specific historical figures. The Quizlet I linked and the GA Encyclopedia overview page will mention most of the important historical figures you’ll need to know. Make sure you know what they did and knowing details such as the decade they were most active in is important too.

A few questions require you to know more than one name or to know a certain order of events. If you know at least one of the names for the answer or if you know at least the first and last event for a certain question, that can help you eliminate a couple wrong answers or even find the right one.

Read the questions carefully. Some of them are in longer paragraph form and they have some context clues that can help lead you to the right answer.

Remember that you only need to get 30/50 questions right to pass. Since you only have an hour, I would recommend answering all the questions you’re confident about before worrying about the rest.

And finally, good luck :) The exam is hard ngl, but if you take the time to study- it is possible to pass.

Edit: An additional tip is that(as of now at least), you won’t be able to look back on your test to see what you missed after you submit it. I would suggest paying attention to any unfamiliar concepts on the test and take note of them, because you may be able to study some of those concepts again later if you have to retake the exam for whatever reason. Not all of the questions will be the same ofc, but on both of my exams- there were times when I had the same sort of questions on both versions.

Bridge scholars program

So I got accepted into the bridge scholars program at gcsu. Im majoring in business. I have other places im looking at. I heard that the classes are relatively easy, but I’ve also seen that it’s a high school 2.0. Is the social life any good during the program? Any general updated reviews? What is RA like for the apartements? Thanks

Is it bad to get called to a second interview for the BPS

I just got called for a second interview for the bridge scholars program and I’m kinda perplexed. I thought I did good. But now I’m being called for a second interview soon because "We are unsure if bps is the right fit for you”. I thought I left a good impression. So my question is: is this I sign I did bad. Or did I not give enough in my initial interview.

New Bellamy resident

I’m moving into Bellamy soon and I still have no clue who my roommates are going to be. Every month I call to ask and I always get the same answer “we’ll let you know at the end of the month.” Three months have gone by and I’m getting so anxious. Is anyone else having this same problem?

I made ratemyprofessors but for classes: Rate My Courses

Hi Everyone,

I have been working for some time now on this website ratemycourses.io and I am really excited to share it with you.

You can use this to look at reviews and get advice on courses you're interested in. You can also sort courses by difficulty, usefulness and the overall rating from reviews made by other students. I think if enough people start using it regularly. it's going to be essential when you're choosing your electives or just to get advice on courses you will be taking.

Please let me know if there is anything that I should change or what features I should add.

Lastly, filtering and sorting courses is only gonna be useful and accurate if there are a lot of reviews, so please go ahead and leave some reviews to courses you've taken or are currently taking.

Enjoy!!
