Review of Cleveland State University

from Seven Hills, OH

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

All right all of you incoming freshmen, listen up! Cleveland State University is a GREAT school. I am shocked at how much effort is put into helping out the students. This is only my second year in college, however, the professors that I have had so far have all been amazing. I feel that everyday I'm getting close with the faculty which is great because I can one day become a colleague of theirs. (Which would be a great.) Of course, some classes are much harder than others and a lot of work has to be put in in order to make the grade, but to work hard and have it all pay off is definitely worth it. There is always a lot of material to learn, but just keep focused and you'll come out on top.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

Everything here from the campus activities, to the food, to the sports, to the classes equals one thing - stellar. Growing up in a town close to Cleveland pushed me away from going to the school. However, I decided to apply due to their accredited engineering program. I am glad I decided to apply here. Not only was the application process not intimidating, but the transition from high school to the college lifestyle was much smoother due to the help they give. There are so many opportunities to be yourself and to meet new people, giving you a chance to make lifelong friends and create lifelong passions. It also helps that the campus and people are all very diverse. Everyday brings something new to the table.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

Other than the school having a great learning environment, it has a lower tuition than most schools out there. While this wasn't the main factor that pulled me into the school, it definitely helps that you and your family won't have to worry as much about getting money for school. On top of that, the scholarships that are available are abundant. One word of advice with all of the scholarships though - APPLY EARLY! Being early with things, especially when it comes to academics, is one of the best things to do.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Like stated above, APPLY EARLY for scholarships and to the Honors/Scholars program. I am in the Scholars program and they have lots of counseling and advice available if needed. Just remember this, the faculty at Cleveland State University is ready to help YOU. If any of you have questions, just e-mail/message me and I'll try to help out as best as I can. Good luck with everything!

Which types of students will excel at your college?

-City-lovers -Adventure-lovers -Commuters -Those who want to be close to home Another thing to remember about college - you get out of it what you put in. You make the experience.
