Georgia State has expanded its university housing once again. Greek housing will be opened this August for select sororities and fraternities.
The Greek housing will consist of nine three-story town homes. Each sorority and fraternity will have a choice of one, two, or three bedroom suites, which comes out to a total of 145 beds. The town homes will include laundry facility and a common room.
Organizing AJC images is team’s biggest project yet
The University Library was recently given thousands of images from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that span over a century of the city’s history. Georgia State’s archivists will now have the somewhat daunting task of going through each image and making them available to students. While these photos aren’t yet accessible, the pictures below are a very small sample of the some 600,000 images already available from Georgia State’s Special Collections and Archives department, many of which show Atlanta and Georgia State in a very different time and place, and give us a glimpse into what got us here as we are today.
In a tough economy such as this, where tuition and fees are constantly rising, it always helps when discounts are given for the rainy days that college students constantly run into. Fortunately, with a student ID, students can cut the cost of certain expenses.
Numerous national surveys indicate that the majority of college students cite financial difficulties as the number one reason for dropping out of school. One such survey, reported in the Washington Post by Jenna Johnson, stated that “when students decided to drop out, 70 percent said they did so because they needed to work.”
Considering the dismal economic state of our union and the fact that the 2010-2011 school year is ready to begin, it is increasingly obvious that it is time for all of us to tighten our belts and take a long, hard look at our spending habits. I’m guessing that no one wants to be just another statistic.
