Georgia State University • Atlanta, GA
Studying Masters Of Professional Accountancy (completion in 2008)
• 8/17/2011
"Georgia State provided a very good academic experience. I took a lot away from the program."
Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | yes | For someone pursuing accounting as a career, Georgia State is a great choice. Job placement is very high, with a rigorous and impressive program. |
| Program Reputation | 9 | Georgia State has an outstanding reputation in Atlanta for the accounting program. This is why I chose the program. |
| Program Quality | 9 | Georgia State has an excellent accounting program. I feel I got the best education I could have gotten in Atlanta. |
| Instruction | 9 | The instructors are all professionals in their field. I feel that they were all very knowledgeable and I learned a great deal. |
| How Difficult | 8 | The program was fairly difficult. It provides a solid academic basis in accounting, as well as some practical applications. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | A little more hands-on than book learning, but a fair mix of both. Testing and assignments are from books, with some practical application projects. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 8 | The classes are mostly in the evening. This is ideal for commuters and grad students who are working. |
| Academic Facilities | 8 | Academic facilities were very good. I did not use tutoring services. However, all other media was good, and classroom space and technology were all up to date. |
| Social Life | 2 | I did not live on campus so I had very few social experiences. However, the campus is in metro Atlanta so there is a lot of opportunity for this. |
| Placement Services | 10 | I was connected with a job almost instantly. My current employer recruits from Georgia State often as do others. |
| Alumni Network | 5 | Nothing particularly impressive about the alumni network. We keep in contact for recruiting purposes. |
Berry College • Rome, GA
Studying Finance (completion in 2010)
• 9/17/2011
"The school is too expensive, but they did a great job educating me. I wish it was a little bigger."
Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | maybe | My recommendation depends on several factors an incoming student should be aware of. The students are very stuck up and you are required to live on campus. If you're OK with this then attend; if not, then don't. |
| Program Reputation | 9 | It's a very well-known school throughout the South, especially considering that it's a small private school. |
| Program Quality | 7 | The school had wonderful professors and terrific class sizes. |
| Instruction | 9 | They taught us how to use programs like MSExcel extensively. I can use many of the programs better than my superiors. |
| How Difficult | 10 | It's definitely a tough field of study, but it is well worth the effort. The professors help you out along the way, but it's not easy. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | They wanted us to experience the real world. We were very focused on going out and learning. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 3 | Being a small school, they did not offer a variety of classes and some were only offered certain years. This got to be challenging when trying to make a schedule with electives. |
| Academic Facilities | 8 | They had the best computer labs, a great library and people were always around to help out. It was what I expected from a small, private school. |
| Social Life | 5 | As far as athletics go, Berry was lacking. Being a Christian college, some of the students seemed unusual to those who didn't share the same values. |
| Placement Services | 1 | They did not help me find a job at all. I had to do all of that myself. They didn't even help me with a resume. |
| Alumni Network | 5 | I don’t know anything about the alumni network. I suspect that means it's not very good. |
