I love this school! It is perfect for those not sure about going to a large college, non-traditional students, and students who need a cheaper school to start at. I am happy with it almost completely!
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Financial aid can be a bit rocky here. It takes time, and the financial aid and bursar offices, being as overwhelmed as they usually are, can be hard to get in contact with via phones and emails. When you need major help from them, you should go in person.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Surprisingly, this school requires a lot of time and attention. You can't just skirt by, and the classes usually get harder the farther up you go. For paralegal students in particular (me being one), you'll need to make sure you are prepared for a lot of projects. They may give you a week or two to do things, but that will catch up with you quickly. Overall, challenging and you definitely leave knowing a lot more!
Describe the dorm life at your college.
No dorms yet, though I believe in a year or so there will be dorms.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The food itself isn't really the greatest, but there are two separate areas to get food. The short order cook lady (I don't know her name) is very friendly, enthusiastic, and will make just about anything for you within the confines of what they have. Cafeteria is usually overcrowded, so a suggestion is to eat elsewhere if you need to study while you eat.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There is always something going on at chattanooga state. They have a lot of performing arts entertainment, and also sports. There are clubs for most majors. There is a lot to do within the confines of the school. If you want entertainment outside of the school, there is obviously shopping, eating out, going to the movies, going to parks of various sorts, etc.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
VERY inexpensive. I am very poor, but I am able to make it at Chattanooga State just fine. Financial aid supplements my living while I finish my associates. Great deal, and quality education.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Students that need one on one attention with their schoolwork will love it here. Non-traditional students (elderly students, students who are parents, working class) will love Chattanooga State's flexibility. At the same time, traditional students will like the liveliness of the campus. Students who need a challenge will also find Chatt State surprisingly challenging. Most people will find their niche at this school and love it.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
A lot to choose from. I think I mentioned it above.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
None. Not a 4 year, so I don't think we really have this.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
VERY SAFE! People tend to mind their own business, no one seems malicious or has ill intent. The security keeps the campus clear from those kinds I believe. Just follow simple campus rules (usually about parking) and you'll be fine, and you won't normally have to worry about trouble.
