The professors here really push you to do your best. You have to keep up with the work and the studying, but I really have learned so much in the semester and a half that I have been here. They also are very helpful, for the most part. Of course there are bad apples in every bunch, but I say 3/4 of the professors truly care about you. The classes have anywhere from 10-100 people in them, but most of the time, the classes are small (around 30 students per class room), so the teachers get to know you personally and know your strengths and weaknesses in your academics.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
The campus is beautiful and the people are extremely friendly. This is a military college, so the cadets are especially gentlemen like to the women, which is a change from high school. There are opportunities for Greek life (sororities and fraternities). There are ALWAYS activities to do on campus because of SGA and other groups putting on special gatherings like movie nights or dances or just some fun sports.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
I'm assuming this section means is this college expensive? The answer is: so-so. It is not the cheapest in the state, but also not the most expensive, but compared to other states, NGCSU is a fairly cheap school. There are many opportunities to receive financial aid though: with HOPE scholarship and Federal grants through filling out your FAFSA form, you should not have to worry about extreme amounts of loans hanging over you when you graduate.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
If you aren't used to studying, START PRACTICING NOW! The work here isn't a piece of cake, but it isn't impossible. If you spend at least an hour or two a day on each class, you should do great (B or higher)! Try not to procrastinate because midterms and finals are all at the same time, so teachers will all be assigning essays and projects also at the same time. Its best if you spread your work load out evenly instead of trying to frantically put together something at last minute because that will only stress you out.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
NGCSU has been considered the best Biology and Nursing program in the entire state, but that doesn't mean for everyone else to cross us off your list. Every major offered here is great with amazing teachers and you will be held to a high standard no matter what your major is. There are also art displays, galleries and structures made by the talented art students. This school is perfect for anyone!
