Review of Winston-Salem State University

from Colerain, NC

Describe your college in three sentences.

This school is a very small school, but we are all one big family. If you are looking for a school with great credentials, friendly people and a place to focus, WSSU is the place for you. I absolutely love it here.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Please do everything early like filling out papers and submitting things to the school, and stay on top of them about everything. WSSU is a great school but they can be very slow about unorganized so you have to always make sure you are one step ahead.

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

The academic rigor isn't bad at all. You just have to make sure that you make time for the work that they assign and dedicate yourself to do it. The professors are always available and easy to reach and they want you to succeed.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

The dorms as a whole I rate about a 4/5 but the freshman dorms get a 3.5/5. They're kinda old but they are renovating as I type and they just opened up a brand new residence hall for freshman. I live in the new dorm and I LOVE IT. The upperclassmen dorms are GREAT. I can't wait till next fall.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

The food options here are great. The cafe isn't bad at all, towards the end of the semester they get lazy but its been decent so far especially breakfast. We also have a Popeyes on campus and that's a plus.

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

There are a lot of organizations, greek life and modeling troupe type activities to get involved in as well as sports. They are all very open to new members and easy to join. Partying isn't too big on this campus, but if that's your thing, there are plenty of places to party in and around Winston.
