Review of Southern Connecticut State University

from Shirley, NY

Describe your college in three sentences.

The campus is very big and is newly renovated. There is always something to do on campus. You never feel left out with the e-mails from the school.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

The campus is big so if you have class on opposite sides of campus a bike would be a good option. Don;t worry if you're shy because there are always things to do to get to know people and the CA's are really nice.

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

Some of the classes can be challenging but you just have to put your best effort forward. Most professors are willing to help you during their office hours.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

The dorms I live in are very spacious. The one down fall is that you have to share with 3 other people and all the beds are in one room. There are always events going on in the community room to get to know the students in the building.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

The dining hall always has different food everyday. There is also a salad bar, a pizza bar, and a stir fry section. There is also a selection of desserts. If you go in the student center there is a Nathans, a pizza place, a sub shop and a Spanish place.

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

There is always something organized on campus to do. They organize trips and have game nights in the community rooms. Also you can go to downtown New Haven and explore all the shops. You can always find something to do.

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

I think that this school is worth my money especially with me being an out of state student. The food is delicious, there are always activities to do and the rooms are spacious. The academic buildings are also newly renovated and they are re-building the library right now to make it bigger.

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

There are a lot of blue lights around campus and you can call campus police to come escort you back to your building if you don't feel safe. The campus is also very well lit.
