Review of Albany State University

from Albany, GA

Describe your college in three sentences.

Albany State Univeristy is full of school spirit and education driven. Their goal is to help every student entering to discover their gifts and talent inside of them and use that gift and talent to the best of their ability. Just like their moto says, Potential is Realized here.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Apply on-time and meet all deadlines. Do not procrastinate and make sure you have done your part completely. Getting into college is about team work. Half of the work is meant to be done by you the student and the other 50% is meant to be done by the school. The most important part is your part. You ae the one trying to get into the school therefor you must do all the things required of you for the school to assist you any further.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

The classes aren't that difficult. The teachers will work with you and take the time out to make sure that you pass the classes. However, if you don't put the work and effort into passing then you will not pass. You are given plenty of time to do all the assignments but it's up to you how you manage your time whether you spend most of it enjoying the college life and equally using your time to study and then have fun. The courses are not that hard and the teachers are really nice and care about your grade if they see that you care yourself.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Dormmates are friendly and drama free. They are there to assist you when you need guidance. During the holidays, the dorms have competitions to see which hall is the best. They have dorm step teams. You will have to check with the dorm leader about that and anything going on in your dorm. Living in a dorm is the best way to fully experience the college life but be sure you also stay focused on your school.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

If you don't want to eat in the cafe, you can always eat at subway, pizza hut, or the bagel shop. These are all located on campus and in walking distance. If you don't want to eat on campus then just a few miles away also in walking distance in downtown albany are a bunch of restaurants.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

Swimming, yoga, play video games and pool in the student center. Go to events put on by the student government association. Join clubs and teams.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

There is a Zero Tolerance policy. Police officers take pride in making sure that all students are safe while on campus. Everywhere you look, you will see an officer just walking around making sure everything is in order. It's not just the officer's job to make sure we are all safe but it's also the student's job to make sure our campus is safe. You are attending the school yourself so if you see anything going on that's against the rules then make sure to report to the campus police or any faculty and staff on duty.
