On Campus Housing Experience: Watson Hall & Eagle Village
“Living in the residence halls helped me meet so many people, and I would recommend it for every single freshman or transfer student to any college. I loved always having people to hang out with and having so many things to do.”
Why did you choose Georgia Southern?
“It’s simple. As soon as I walked onto GSU’s campus I knew I could see myself there. People ask me daily why I picked Georgia Southern and I always give them the same answer: I wanted to find a school that was big enough that I’d see a new face every day, but small enough that I’d see enough people I knew. I wanted a school where I could go to football games with strong traditions. Georgia Southern has a beautiful campus; the walk to class is so pretty and helps me to make it to class. What really got me, though, was the drive up Sweetheart Circle. When I saw that part of campus, I knew I was home.”
