The Eagle Experience

Your Georgia Southern journey begins with The Eagle Experience — a chance for you to dig in from day one and write your next chapter. Through a multitude of events and activities, you’ll meet new friends, learn from accomplished professors, create memories for a lifetime, engage in practical learning, and, most importantly, make our house YOUR house. 

We are here to ensure your college journey — from the classroom to the field and from game days to graduation — is a success. Are you READY for the experience of a lifetime?
