Review of South Carolina State University

from Lithonia, GA

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

I'm learning a lot! I feel like I'm getting the education that I'm paying for. The teachers are extremely helpful. When I needed extra help, they were very willing to give me their undivided attention to help me succeed in their class.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

Oh man! I really like being here. I'm apart of the Marching 101 at SCSU. They really make you feel welcomed as a freshman, and it is soo much fun. Because it was my first year, things were kind of hard getting used to, but soon, I caught on to the jist of things. On campus we have a Student Center which includes pool tables, ping pong tables and even a bowling alley. It also has the Pitt which is something like a food court where I can enjoy a quick meal while I chill and eat with my friends.

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

Even though SCSU is a great school, it is not cheap. Though, I do get what I pay for. I get a full all-you-can-eat meal at the cafe (cafeteria), along with tutors, a decent place on campus to lay my head, a library which stays open till midnight, many open computers and printers and the list goes on. These are all essential to me at State.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

It's vital that you stay focused on your goal which is to get out of school with degree in a major that will help you in the future. Its always a good idea to organize your time so that you get enough hours to sleep, eat, work, and HAVE FUN!!!! It won't be easy, but one thing you will learn in college is that you have to be diligent and TRY! Some teachers will help you as long as they see that you're doing this simple thing. REMEMBER: Distractions will always be there but if you let them takeover your life then you won't.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

South Carolina State has an environment that is very middle pace. I think that it is a great school for independent, down to earth students who are ready to learn and have fun with out a lot of drama.
