GA Southern seems cool with its laid-back culture and variety of programs. I’m trying to find colleges that have a similar social scene and a diverse range of majors. Any recommendations?
It’s great to hear that you’re looking at culture and program variety as factors in your college choice! If you’re interested in schools like Georgia Southern University, consider looking into Appalachian State University in North Carolina. It has a similar relaxed atmosphere and a strong sense of community, along with a wide array of programs to choose from. Another option is East Carolina University, also in NC, which offers a diverse set of programs, from business to the fine arts, and has a reputation for a collegial, supportive social environment.
Don’t forget the University of North Georgia, which provides a myriad of programs and a student-centered community. While exploring, pay attention to student reviews, available clubs and organizations, and the types of internships and job placements graduates receive, as these can also give you a feel for the campus culture. Best of luck on your college search, and remember, visiting campuses when possible is a fantastic way to gauge if a school’s vibe is right for you! Good luck with your search!
