Savannah State University

I’m a proud graduate in Mass Communications. The school is great it helped me in many ways than a little. It helped me inside and outside of the classroom. They offer many resources you just have to go and get them. My experience was based on how I made it and anything that I didn’t obtain fell on me! I would like to thank Dr. Earl Yarbrough for all of the mentoring and resources, Professor Kai Walker in the Kennedy Building who is «building a religion» and all of the trials that got me to the end! Remember the name, it will become #Household.

I graduated from here and I am successful in life, working in my Major and I had the time of my life here! The school has also grown and looks nothing like it did while I was there from 2002 – 2007. It is 100% AMAZING! SSU was right about their quote «You can get anywhere from here» My whole crew and my frat bros that graduated from SSU are all doing well and are successful! So, kudos to SSU! I wouldn’t change a thing about my SSU experience! Go Tigers!!!

Money hungry!!! Their top concern is revenue not education. Some of the instructors don’t instruct, they just READ from a book, say «got it,» then exit the classroom, before you can close your book. You’re basically renting space in a classroom and teaching yourself while contributing to a loosing sports programs, worthless insurance, and useless transportation fees, that’s if you have your own car, moped, bike, etc.
Admissions doesn’t know what registration is doing and vice-​versa. Financial Aid seems to only be helpful when the school is going to make money. Records took a ridiculous amount of time to process my transcripts, 6 weeks! The bookstore and instructors are supposed to communicate, which the instructors claim they do, yet the bookstore will sometimes sell the wrong book, usually the previous version. Seriously, they will have only one book available for a certain class and it will be the WRONG version. This happened in 2 of my classes, this semester. When students called to complain their response was «that’s the book the instructor posted for their class.» Great example of passing the blame!!!
It doesn’t matter how many departments you speak to, everyone has a different answer. When you question why no one knows what’s going on, you get to deal with attitude. I’m a current student and have been attending for a few semesters, but other students who have been here for much longer have pretty much the same complaints. On any day you can stand on the campus sidewalk and listen to annoyed and angry students.
Oh, let’s not forget that there have been two shootings on campus this semester (Fall 2013) and one ended in a death.
