Review of Claflin University

from Sumter, SC

Describe your college in three sentences.

Claflin University is the wonderful college that opens up your mind to different cultures. It's also a college that gives you many opportunities to look for a career that you are interested in. Unlike many colleges many college professors are just your teachers but here at Claflin University they become your mentors and motivate you for the best.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

My advice to prospective students would be get ready for the fun and exciting freshman trip to White Oaks. Its a time to bond with your freshman class and get a change to know them. I also advise you to get a mentor to help you on important things such as financial aid or other things that occur on campus because it's good to have someone who's experienced to help you.

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

We have some of the most qualified teachers here to help you do things that you've struggled with for the longest and the work is challenging but it's for the better because if you put your mind to it you can do it and understand why they challenged you.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

The dorm live isn't something that I personally was excited about, but once I got here everyone was very nice and it's like having a lot of sisters around you at all times, and you begin to form a bond with them. The bathrooms for the most part are clean, and the rooms have to clean as well because of the weekly room inspections are that mandatory. The dorm rooms consist of two twin size beds, two desk, two closets, a sink, but you have to bring your own t.v, microwave, and if you want to a lamp.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

The food isn't bad at all, you have just have to get use to different foods that you're not used to eating. Look forward to having fried chicken Wednesday every week, and also fried fish fridays. Also here at Claflin University we have vegetarian meals that are served everyday for those who do not like meat.

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

For fun you can get involved in various activities around the school or in the community. We also have a game room located in the student center, you can sit on the benches and socialize with you classmates, go down to the basketball court and because State University is located right next to us you can walk over there for fun as well.

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

I feel very safe on campus at all times because security is always out driving around at night to make sure everyone is safe and that we have no trespassers on campus. Also in order to get in your dorm you have a ID you have to scan to get in the buildings at all times.
