There are jobs and internship opportunities on and off campus to help prepare students. The recreational activities center offered "Train to be a Trainer" with organized study groups for personal training certification. There were grad students and professors with open office hours.

Kinesiology, Class of 2003

I did not live in the dorms or have a meal plan. I had friends in the dorms and they were nice enough. I believe there are some updated dorms that are nicer. The food on campus was average. I lost weight and worked out while in college. I didn't gain the "freshman fifteen." The great thing about Statesboro is the apartments are so cheap it is almost as cheap to live off campus.
