South Carolina State University

I drove down from DC for the Bulldog Fest/Open House & TICKETS were a mandatory thing, LIES. Unorganized, late beginnings, instead of doing small groups for tours they separated the parents & children and the parents didn't get to tour. What us parents got was a mile walk from SHM to the Leroy Daniels Bldg but that was changed once we all walked up there, we were stuffed into an auditorium in the Engineering building with standing room only. This was not planned very well & had the left hand knew what the right hand was doing we would have simply been asked to move closer while in the SHM building but instead the poor communication ruffled feathers with myself & family members of other students. The Q&A was joke, too many unanswered questions which would make me not want to send my child to this "illustrious university" as too many put it. Upon returning from the student tour my son said it was a large & very ghetto campus and knowing him this wouldn't want to be where he laid his head every night because he wouldn't feel safe.

So many 1 star reviews. A true reflection of reality when your employees engage in political falsehoods over doing their actual job duties.

I attended an event at SC State University, which the university did an excellent job hosting. Arriving early, I ate a delicious, very reasonably priced lunch at Washington Dining Hall.

I am a very proud bulldog! This institution gave me so many great experiences, both educational and life. I am very appreciative to have had the opportunity to attend this university. I was a member of the Marching 101 Band, and a very active member in the University Bands, and my experience with that was memorable. Upon my graduation in 2016, people were calling me and I was immediately given my first position as an educator. I had many networking experiences while at South Carolina State University which has helped me tremendously for my career. Many of my professors were very close knit with me, and still stay in close contact with me, and vise versa. Despite what the media says about South Carolina State University, it triumphs through it all and has produced great alumni who are accomplishing and achieving outstanding goals.

I attended SCSU from 2003-2007, and my experience was phenomenal! The teaching staff is first class, and they genuinely want to see each student become self sufficient and successful. The tools I was equipped with here have been pivotal in my success so far, and I use the foundation garnered from this great institution to further myself academically, professionally, and socially.

Earned an Education degree from here last semester. Loved my experience! Its a tight-knit family atmosphere and the instructors are awesome. Service and support could've been a little better, but that's most offices. I wouldn't have gone anywhere else!

This is a university that is prestigious, and that truly trains outstanding people to become great teachers. However,it is imperative that you follow what you learn in order to be a successful educator and do not detour from the instructions of these well experienced professors. I am a proud graduate of this university and I will love it to the day I die. If one allows themselves to, they can grow into a mature adult and be able to go out and conquer the world because you will gain the educational knowledge needed to do so. This university has a history of fighting for civil right causes and has an opportunity for any student who attends to better themselves spiritually, educationally, and morally . I highly recommend this outstanding university; the only limit to improving and bettering oneself is you. SCSU will help you achieve your goals. Let’s Go Phi Beta Sigma! Let’s Go Bulldogs!!!!!!!!!

A hot mess. Very unorganized. Lady in the student financial building or whatever its called was very rude all because she had a job to do and didn't prepare a lunch. I've been having problems with this school from day #1. I would not recommend this school to any one....oh, and another thing about this lady a student asked her to highlight something on his paper for him and she acted like it would have killed her to do something. She didn't do it. I felt so sorry for the young man. If I could give this school negative stars I would. This is the most unorganized school I've ever dealt with. Nobody and I mean nobody answers their phone nor answer emails. School start next week and I don't even know if we can move in or not. Don't even have my fafsa award letter yet. This is beyond ridiculous and something needs to be done about this. Taking our money then pushing us off to the side. DO NOT GO TO THIS SCHOOL

This school is highly unorganized! No one answers phone calls, emails or anything! They take your money then treat you like you’re a nuisance! Staff in the housing office is very rude! I would not recommend this HBCU

Most instructors, cafeteria staff, and office staff were helpful and respectful. There were some instances where employees from each of these departments were rude and petty. Overall, my experiences here helped me to mature spiritually as well as cognitively.
