I would rate CSU as an 8 on a scale from 1-10, its not perfect- but the environment and teachers are vibrant and upbeat. I truly enjoy CSU and a lot of the traditions too.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Coming to CSU, keep you mind open. College is a big step, so keep an alarm clock handy too. Your not always given the afternoon classes, so you might just have to wake up around 6 or 7am. Get involved in some type of activity too, networking really does pay off.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
All you have to do is ask questions, stay close to the teacher, complete your assignment's and research things you don't understand to get good grades. The teachers are very helpful too, some college don't really care that much to help students out, but here at CSU, everyone is like family.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Dorm life is crazy!!! It could be loud and obnoxious screaming, or it could be too loud of a TV or radio. The rooms don't have kitchens either, but the freshman girl dormitories are quite nice and spacious. Overall you learn to share and live with complete strangers. You may even build strong friendship's.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The food is alright, not that good and not that bad. The best advice I could give on college food is to eat small portions and work out- the food they serve does stick to the bones; and always pray over food, just because there's too many diseases.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
For fun, there are parties and Greek life- at CSU there's the Divine Nine to get into and join. There's plenty of other clubs included on campus as well. Now if you venture into town, there's shopping, bowling, movies, etc. We also have homecoming, talent shows and concerts.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
If you lived in state, in Ohio, you could afford it. Sadly I'm from Michigan and I have to pay out-of-state tuition. I have to pay my debt down to register, so I'd recommend filing out scholarships to anyone here already or coming in fresh.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
There's Cry Baby Bridge- legend has it that back during slavery days when slaves were escaping to the North there was a woman and her baby. She fled from the South to come North to make a better life for herself and child. On her way to freedom she came close to this bridge that was considered KKK property but it was on her route and she had no time to turn back or find alternative routes. As she reached the bridge her child cried uncontrollably which gave away her cover. She tried and tried to hush the little one, but the pressure continued to grow. The slave woman tossed her baby over the bridge, killing it and ran to freedom as fast as she could. Its tradition to go through the dark woods at night to the bridge, if you can make it. Some say that during witching hour you can hear the baby crying and her sobbing for her terrible deed. Best done around Halloween.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
CSU is an awesome school filled with good people and fair teachers.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Safety is a big thing here at CSU. We have campus cops who ride around making sure kids stay from out of troube. At CSU I felt safe and I'm sure anyone else would too.
