Review of Southern Connecticut State University

from East Haven, CT

Describe your college in three sentences.

This is a great school if you want to be challenged. Everyone on campus from students to professors are all focused and helpful. The opportunity in research for aspiring biology majors are great!

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Make sure you are focused and always in class on time. Handle your business with financial aid and scholarships. Make sure you are visiting your academic adviser daily.

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

Biology

Describe the dorm life at your college.

I currently don't live on campus but I have friends that do, and so far they have nothing but positive things to say about their life away from home experience. I say take a shot at it, as long as you stay focused and don't fall into partying everyday you'll be fine!

Describe the food and dining at your college.

The food is awesome, Southern has lots of great meals providing their students. Even outside food restaurants such as Dunken Donuts! my personal favorite.

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

Southern has alot of great activities for their hardworking students. I have experienced student appreciation day which included carvival type activities and free food and ice cream, plus there are student trips available. Joining a club is always good, I am currently in my biology club and loving all the fun meetings and activities we have during the academic school year.

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

The bang for your buck would be, the experienced professors. Not only are they teaching their subjects but they are actually in the fields and can be great networking access for your future careers!

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

so far I have'nt seen any unusual traditions of locations on campus, maybe I will this fall!

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Southern has almost about everything any student of difference can benefit from, you just have to search for them! Southern is all about diversity.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

As stated before I am apart of the Biology club and that is going great for me, but there are plenty of clubs to join on campus and if your have a club idea to create, you can do that also!

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

Greek life seems very heavy on campus, i actually turned down and chance to join one of these groups because it takes a'lot of dedication and I am too focused on my studies; how ever these associations always have new events going on!

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

There are plenty of on duty police officers walking around campus to make sure students are safe during the day and night.
