Bang for the buck	Despite being a relatively small school, Clayton state is very affordable in comparison to larger universities. Some students even opt to pay their tuition out of pocket. The only downfall of the institution is their scholarships. They are done based on a lottery system. Meaning that a student who goes to every class and puts forth earnest effort may be overlooked for a scholarship because a student who only attended the first and last day of class was selected for the award based off the lottery selection.

Campus Safety	Some robberies here and then because the area is close to Atlanta.
Great for these types of students	Great for students who: can't afford big name colleges for undergrad, but still plan to go to a better school for post-grad, want to do the GA tech transfer program to get into tech later
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus	Running from the aggressive geese is tradition. Avoiding the nasty weeaboos on the 2nd floor of the University Center is also a must.
Bang for the buck	Cheap, cheap, cheap. Usually $2.2k per semester w/o dorms and you can get $1.6k -$2k back in refunds.
Food and Dining	Food can be average or above average at times.
Dorm Life	Dorm seems clean and nicely designed. I do not live on campus so I cannot comment on it.
Academic Rigor	Education is good quality for such a small public university. Some classes are quite tough, some are easy and manageable.
Tips for prospective students	Attend this school to save money and you'll pay less if you plan to go to grad school and etc. It is better to go for a bigger name school for post-grad rather than undergrad if you do not have the funds. Be wary that this school does have some particular biases to favor students that are not Asian/White especially for their scholarships they offer. You are less likely to win a scholarship from here if you are Asian or White.
In three sentences	School is affordable and close to home. Financial aid refunds basically pay me to go to school. Education is good.

Food and Dining	The dining here is mediocre. You eat the same thing everyday , they may slightly change some stuff up but it’s always the same and the only time the food is actually really good is breakfast and brunch on the weekends. I recommend getting more of the bucks than the swipes if you are a freshman staying on campus.
Dorm Life	Laker Hall wasn’t the worse place to stay, my RA made it more enjoyable, she was really a sweetheart. It’s kind of a waste of money because you have to get a meal plan with staying in laker hall and you spend most of your money in housing than in tutuion so if you have the money to go ahead.

What to do for fun	Its always something here to do at Clayton State. They send emails me all the time when there is events that all students can enjoy and participate in.
Food and Dining	The food here is good. They have different things here for students to enjoy such as, Chick-Fil-a, Sub Connection, Pizza Hut, Lake Side express where they have Tacos on Tuesday and Wings or Wednesday, and our dining hall.
Dorm Life	Dorm life here can be good and bad. They good thing about living in dorms is that you get to have your own room.
Academic Rigor	We have a great variety of students here who show great academic skills. Just recently Clayton State had reached their goal for the scholarships they provide to students here.
Tips for prospective students	For those students who looking into colleges make sure you look at all the basics and the type of things the school has to offer. Clayton State is a nice campus and the academics here is outstanding.
In three sentences	Clayton State University is an amazing and involved school. Here at Clayton State you have any opportunities here. You have several options to choose from here at my school, and there are great people here that are willing to help you.

Campus Safety	you are completely safe at clayton state. it's a gated schoil and violence barely happens here. we have security and police officers roaming around campus and also a new app that was created for the school. the app helps the officers know your location when you are walking from class late and if you don't turn off the alarm if you remove your finger off the button that tells the officers you are safe, they will dispatch an officer or two to your location to assist you.
Greek Life	we have a small amount of greek life at clayton state university, but they make up for it with how active most of them are on campus. i was in one of the pageants the fraternities held.
Clubs and Activities	we have a lot clubs on campus, which are a lot of fun!. if you don't see a club that you might like then you can create a club as long as you follow the guidelines.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus	the bent tree is a fake tree we have on campus. some say if you run it before a test, you'll pass it. i rubbed it before and i passed my test, but i kind of don't believe in the "bent tree magic"
Food and Dining	we have different places to eat on campus. there's the dining hall (you choose your meal plan), pizza hut, sub connection (subway), loch nest/loch shop, sandellas (in freshmen dorms). you get dining dollars with your meal plan and purchase food from just about any of these places.
Dorm Life	it depends on which forms you're talking about. laker hall, freshmen dorms, is a good place to meet new friends and the ra's try to make living there as fun as possible. the ra's loving there are on call and there is no curfew. it's also a co-ed building, so your neighbors could be guys. there's a community kitchen on the first floor, but you have a refrigerator and microwave in your room. also, in one suite, you have the maximum our the other people on it, but you all get seperate rooms with your own door.
Academic Rigor	all teachers have a high standard, but most understand that everyday events happen. the teachers are willing top help you if you ask for it.
Tips for prospective students	don't procastinate. it will be hard not to, but you don't want your gpa top fall. communicating with your professors is a must. by communicating with them, they will know you're trying and that might be a difference between an a and b.
In three sentences	clayton state university has a beautiful campus that provides a great academic program for most. it's a small campus, but that's why i personally like it. the public safety on campus is great, but they could be a little better. it'ss a gated campus and the people here are really friendly.

Campus Safety	CSU has an entire Campus Police department with vehicles and guns. Shows you how much crime is in the area for this to be necessary.
Greek Life	There are some Greek orgs, but not as many as other Universities.
Clubs and Activities	No time to go to them as a senior, but there are A LOT of them, i get 100 emails a week about Clubs and Extra curricular. No joke.
Great for these types of students	Great for all types of students, you can find your group to fit into here.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus	The Bent Tree not sure what is the deal with this old dead tree next the the University Center side entrance, but the school news paper is named after it, lol, kinda weird :)
Bang for the buck	A bachelors degree is a bachelors degree, most employers dont look at the school anymore, unless youre in the medical field.
What to do for fun	Go to concerts at Spivey Hall? Idk, I live 30 minutes away from campus.
Tips for prospective students	Use your professors office hours every week, and use the Center for Academic Success for free tutoring! Dont walk off campus at night by yourself, you will get mugged and your laptop stolen.
In three sentences	Great updated classrooms and facilities, but Lacking affordable healthy food options. There are some professors that invest their time to help student truly learn the concepts, others are overwhelmed by too many meetings and teaching too many classes. Tuition is very low for a state school, but surrounding area is not safe with multiple gangs crime and shootings.

Campus Safety	The Public Safety Department is amazing. There are always campus police cars rolling around. It's almost impossible to not be around one. There are many locations around campus where there are emergency telephones to call campus police if you're worried. You can also call an escort to follow you back to the dorm if you're not feeling very safe.
Great for these types of students	This campus is great for students who aren't big on going out to parties. It's great for those who are actually at college for the real reason, to get an education and graduate. It's a small campus so not much goes on. Most of the events that everyone goes to is off of campus. This is the perfect place to stay focused.
What to do for fun	There are so many events that go on around campus. The student government group offers up many events! The fraternities and sororities always have an event happening to raise awareness for so many different things. All the groups on campus are big on campus involvement so they're always trying to get students to get out of the dorm and do fun, exciting things!
Food and Dining	The food is great. It's one of the extra pushes that made me come here. The food is always fresh and it's all you can eat! They offer a great variety of things and it's always healthy, so that's a plus. The servers are also so sweet and kind.
Dorm Life	The dorms are great, better than most of the dorms that I have seen. The rooms here have 4 bedrooms in them, along with 2 bathrooms and a common area. They have quiet hours that are pretty respectable. They give you a chance to connect with your roommates before you even move in so you can form a great bond. The thermostats are in the rooms so you can manually manage them if you so choose. It's amazing!
Academic Rigor	The academic expectations at Clayton State are pretty high. They offer us great Professors who are always willing to help. They offer many study sessions, tutoring daily and there are three study rooms just for students in the dorm building! They give us many opportunities to succeed.
Tips for prospective students	Don't come here if you're looking for a party school. This is a small comfortable campus where the main goal is to study and succeed. The classes are a quick 5 minute walk from everywhere so this place is just the best for transitioning students!
In three sentences	Clayton State is amazing. The campus is great for transitioning students and even better for academics. Everyone is friendly. There are so many events that go on around the campus, there's no way that you can't be involved! The professors are helping and the staff are always there for you.

Campus Safety	There are multiple emergency stations and security officers placed throughout the campus.
Greek Life	The sorority and fraternity involvement is amazing. The step shows are among some of the best I have ever seen.
What to do for fun	I go out by the lake or walk the trail by the school. I also hangout with friends.
Tips for prospective students	Get your class schedules early. Always ask for help when it's needed.
In three sentences	Clayton State is a very good school. The classes are small in number which help toward better learning for the students. The faculty are extremely helpful when it comes to getting a better understanding of material or of anything throughout the University.

What to do for fun	They have all kinds of theater plays, on campus events and they're really fun to watch and our basketball team is good too.
Food and Dining	The food is good. I've only eaten in the dining hall once though.
Dorm Life	I'm actually planning on living in Lacker Hall this year, a lot of my friends say they love it and the on campus opportunities are nice, so I'm hoping its a good as they make it sound.
Academic Rigor	The teachers here are pretty cool, but they get serious when they need to. This isn't high school so excuse after excuse doesn't cut it here.
Tips for prospective students	Definitely talk with your financial aid advisor as well as your admissions office.
In three sentences	Clayton State University has some of the friendliest staff as well as students, which says a lot since they offer all of their students on campus jobs. That makes going to CSU that much better. I started back in the fall and after being here for one full year I've made up my mind that I want to be a Laker graduate!

Clubs and Activities	They are there, but they are difficult to come across. You'll have to dig.
What to do for fun	Honestly, this is a great campus for academics and for it's down-to-earth feel, but there little to do in the way of entertainment. There is a student activity center where students can go and play various game systems and ping pong. There is a also an exercise center in the same location.
Food and Dining	Lame as lame can be. Pizza Hut and a generic sub shop are the only fast food locations on campus, and both get old fast. There are also two overpriced cafe's on campus. The main cafeteria is okay,...sometimes. It's good one day and boring the next. Lather, rinse, repeat.
Dorm Life	I don't live on campus, but whenever I do visit the dorms, they seem rather bland and boring. Which is a good thing. College is an experience, and fun is a a part of that experience. However, you're on a mission to success. If bored, then study to compensate. Books first, a good time second.
Academic Rigor	Different strokes, for different folks, but it generally depends on a few factors. Including, but not limited to, procrastination level and academic workload. And let's face it, the further you go in your college journey, the m ore likely it is that the difficult of said journey will increases. Even if you are not a big procrastinator, there will some classes that will come easily to you. While others, will challenge to the max.
Tips for prospective students	Do not, with emphasis on the word not, over tax yourselves with academics. In other words, do not take on an academic schedule that is overwhelming. This will and often does, results in a student's inability to maintain and achieve satisfactory grades across the board. Keep the partying and nonsense to a dull roar. There's plenty of of time to turn up and turn out, later. Do not procasinatre. Trust and believe this is not high-school. Momma and daddy are no longer going to be there to remind you to get a task accomplished.
In three sentences	C.S.U. has an inviting atmosphere. The classes are smaller in size when compared to say, Georgia State. This results in a student having the ability to meet and discuss academic progress with instructors, rather easily.

Campus Safety	For the most part of have not seen any crimes but have been told about some through email that have happen but it is not on a usual basis or consistent. I know that our Public Safety department works hard to keep us safe and have done well with the snow storms recently to keep us from driving during the storm and risking our lives.
Bang for the buck	The HUB offers great front-line Help Desk Support. If you have a computer issue and need it fixed the technology fee is only $57 a semester and that is fairly cheap to be able to get support for computer software and hardware support. If you enjoy a good scenery when you are at college then Clayton State University is a good place for it because it has a nice lake with benches that you can just take a little time to enjoy that scenery and also you can go fishing at the lake. The Center for Academic Success has a great team of staff that help get students the right tutor and help them with their classes they are taking.
What to do for fun	You can go to their Gym that they have and work out. You can join a club and meet new people and have fun with those clubs you join. You can eat lunch with friends or professors and get to know them better which can sometimes help your experience at Clayton State University.
Food and Dining	The food is fairly good but sometimes they serve some foods repeatedly but they are always working better to make more variety on their menus.
Academic Rigor	There has definitely been some hard classes that I have taken in Information Technology that students should be prepared for. Learning Java can be a Rigorous class and students should learn some basic Java before doing that class if you have no experience or it can be a difficult experience. I know Sociology has been Rigorous for me because the test probably brought me beyond that brink of tired of trying because some of the answers on the exams were not always what we studied unless you can study four chapters and the notes you did in class and can remember it all.
Tips for prospective students	Always have a laptop prepared for class because you will always needs one in some class that you will take. Be well prepared for the work you will do because it will be more than what you did in High School. Make friends with your classmates because they could help you with things like studying or working together in a group. Understand your teacher's policies in the syllabus so you are setup to succeed.
In three sentences	Clayton State University has teachers that are willing to work with you and care about you and are very understanding at times. Clayton State University has an excellent Center Of Academic Success department that helps students who need tutoring for their classes. Clayton State University has an excellent front-line Help Desk for supporting Students,Faculty and Staff with Computer Repair and Technical Support.

Dorm Life	Overall I would say Clayton State dorm life is pretty good. As a freshman you have your own room compared to other campus you just have to share a bathroom with one other person. In the freshman dorms there are RA who make living there fun to make to it easier on some student who don't have family close by. They also provide tutoring in the freshman dorm so make sure you have all the opportunity you would need to pass. The upper class-men live in apartments which have four or two people. Here you have a bigger room and you own bathroom. The apartments also come with a full kitchen and laundry closet.
Academic Rigor	Academically I feel that this school is good for any student no matter if you need extra help or you need something challenging. All the teachers that I have encountered while attending Clayton State have been very welcoming on helping you when you need help. The school also provides a Center of Academic Success which is a tutoring center for almost every subject taught. The tutors are very helpful.
In three sentences	I would rate Clayton State University a four out of five. I rate the school because they have more things to offer then to take away from a student. Coming to Clayton State I feel like everything that I would need to succeed is here and it is a very welcoming campus.

What to do for fun	There is a mall that is down the street from the school but if you want real fun you may want to go to atlanta. The mall is beginning to dwindle because they are shutting places down. They have alot of places to eat and there is a movie theater and bowling alley close by. There are always parties going on either on campus or off campus.
Food and Dining	I do not eat in the dining hall at all. I did over the summer because I did not know to many people now I just eat off campus. They have only three spots to eat and they serve the same thing over and over again. If you like to eat sandwiches and pizza all the time, then you will love it .
Dorm Life	I do not stay on campus but I have stayed in the dorms. They are nice but there is not enough space for everyone. They have a freshman dor filled with people who are not even freshman. They tell them that there is no room in the upperclassman dorms but there is.
Academic Rigor	I came from a school where they just expected each student to just know. We came to school to learn not for you to sit and act like we are supposed to know. At this school, if you do not understand, they will take the time for you to understand. They have open door policy and are ery helpful. There is rarely aan instance where a teacher will not assist you.
Tips for prospective students	I encourage all students to not procrastinate. It may seem easy but once you start to have things pile on you, it gets harder to manage. If you know that you have a test, then you need to study. Do not put it off because of a party. There is always another party the next week that will be waiting for you.
In three sentences	I love Clayton State University. The teachers are very helpful and it is very people friendly. They always have things going on and it gives you something to do in between classes.

Campus Safety	The Campus Safety is great I actually use to work for public safety. All access to campus except one entrance is closed at 11 p.m. That one entrance that is still opened has a guard shack with a swinging arm that is controlled by a police officer. There is 24 hour surveillance by the officers and we can get phone and email alerts from Public Safety when something has occurred that the student body should be aware of.
Greek Life	I am a proud member of The Gamma Xi Chapter of Alpha Kappa Lambda Fraternity Inc. and I am actually one of the Founding Fathers. We have grown so much and I have enjoyed every aspect of being a Greek. We are pushed to the limits to become role models and leaders of our community and of our organizations. There are either 9 or 10 Greek organizations on campus and growing. I encourage anyone who attends Clayton State to at least see what being a Greek is all about!
Clubs and Activities	So many clubs which include chess, math, dental hygiene, AMSA, Golden Key, Pre-pharmacy, BCM, Philosophy, dance, Greeks, cheer squad, and so much more.
Great for these types of students	Students who like small classroom settings and who are able to converse with instructor. Students who are not party animals but don't get me wrong their are parties.
Bang for the buck	It really is worth the money you put into this school. I have no complaints other than the surrounding area. When you get into Clayton State University property is like it's own community.
What to do for fun	Sports, weekly parties, study sessions, Greek events, Resident Assistant events, tons and tons of organizations, the gym, the soccer field, and many more things.
Food and Dining	The food I will have to say isn't the greatest but it isn't the worst. The only thing that got to me every now and then is when the chicken was not cooked all the way through. I love buffets so it was heavenly for me all the time. You get all you want to drink from a choice of coffee, cappuccino, soft drinks, juices, milk, and water. It is very clean and it's a nice setting.
Dorm Life	I lived in the dorms for 4 years. There is no time you have to be back in your room. You are allowed visits, you have 24 hour security, Resident Assistants there to help at all times, and doors that can only be opened by a programmed card that you will get if you live there.
Academic Rigor	Check Syllabus, talk to your professors daily or at least weekly, most tests are short answer not multiple choice. The professors expect a lot from their students so make sure you pay attention, manage your priorities properly, and do not procrastinate.
Tips for prospective students	Get all paper work together and ask for help!! Become a Greek because it will truly get you involved with everything the campus has to offer. Make sure you use your dining dollars that come with your meal plan. The cafeteria isn't the most amazing place but it is a buffet and you did pay for it so make sure you take advantage of that. I say this because you don't have time to cook meals and prepare meals, you're in college focus on what isn't handed to you. Get involved in the sports and cheer our school sport teams.
In three sentences	Cultural Diverse and a family like environment. A very difficult curriculum so be prepared to be prepared for life. Nothing to do on the weekends but everything to do Sunday night-Thursday night.

Greek Life	BORING
Clubs and Activities	BORING
Great for these types of students	Great for students looking for a local university with strong academics they can commute to and from.
Bang for the buck	Academics, your are definitely getting your monies worth, but as far as the full college experience with social life, you don't get it at all, because most students are commuters and non traditional.
What to do for fun	Southlake mall, AMC, and plenty of dining and shopping close by. Campus is only 20 minutes away from the heart of downtown.
Food and Dining	Not very many options, because its a smaller university with primarily commuter students.
Dorm Life	Very nice dorms, but social activities are lacking.
Academic Rigor	Typically depends on professor and course.

What to do for fun	There is always events going on on campus whether it's movie night, Greek step show, basketball game, concert, etc. There is also many many student organizations that you can join.
Food and Dining	The food is so good ! The dining hall has a all you can eat buffet, the food is always hot and ready to be served. The staff interacts with you while you're preparing your plate, which makes your day even better just because you have someone asking how you are doing, or how your day is going so far. There is also a pizza hut, subconnection (which is kind of like subway), and Jazzman's (which is kind of like starbucks). Overall the food is really good !
Dorm Life	Living on campus as a first year student for me is good. You get to meet people from different states and even different countries. When you start living in a dorm, you start getting the feel of what it's like to be on your own without having your mom and dad there with you all day, everyday.
Academic Rigor	The professors will challenge you because they want you to go above and beyond what you already know. They encourage you to think outside what you already know to expand your knowledge, and if you ever feel like you don't understand the material, they will help you to understand. Even the professors office hours conflict with your schedule there are other sources like the centers for academic success that helps students with any subject that they are having trouble in.
Tips for prospective students	Do research on the college/university that you plan on attending. Don't just pick a college because it always has the best parties, that's not what coming to college is about, it's about getting an education. Take a tour of the campus so you can get the feel of what it would be like if you were to attend that college/university. Make sure the college/university of your choice has the career major that you plan on pursuing.
In three sentences	Clayton State University has a beautiful campus, and the people are friendly. There are plenty resources here, and the professors really care about your success. There is more than enough opportunities here on campus.

Tips for prospective students	Freshman year will be the hardest one. I would suggest bringing a voice recorder with you, and taking plenty of notes. The teachers are helpful, and using the Center for Academic Success (located in the library) is one of the best things you can do. Also, make SURE to keep up with your work.
In three sentences	As a dual enrollment student, the faculty made it very easy on me. Everyone is easily accessible, either through email or in office, or even on the phone. I have completely enjoyed my time thus far.

Campus Safety	The public safety does patrol a lot, but sadly they cannot watch everyone and everywhere, every minute. The school is located in a bad part of town so it does attract attention from the wrong type of people/

Academic Rigor	Clayton state can be difficult. The teachers can give you an extremely large amount of work. As long as you study and stay focused you will get through it all easy. Waiting till the last minute will not help you at this school. You have to start early in order to get your work done.
Tips for prospective students	Make sure you stay involved in the different activities they hold on campus. Your college experience will be what you make it, just don't allow your grades to slip.
In three sentences	Clayton State is rated at 8. They have a lot of student involvement opportunities. The teachers are also very passionate and knowledgeable

Academic Rigor	Even though this is a small university, the academics in itself proves to be similar to those of a larger university. In addition the faculty members teaching at this university come from a variety of backgrounds.

Campus Safety	There are numerous safety pole located across campus in the matter of an emergency. The Clayton State Campus Safety usually hires actual police officers that are not completely mean. The campus safety will do their job to not only keep you safe especially when you need it, but also to inform you of any potential dangers within the vicinity of the school.
Greek Life	Clayton State University has many great sororities and fraternities. Whether you are looking to join a recently formed brotherhood/sisterhood or to continue on as a legacy, Clayton State University has what you are looking for.
Clubs and Activities	The clubs can be limited to sororities and fraternities. This can be a drag, but there are many clubs located in the student's access page online. There is a groups link that will connect you to any group you like, and if you do not see one you are interested in then you can even make your own!
Great for these types of students	Any. This campus has it all. Even if you are not so interested in being in this country, Clayton State University has the ability to send you to essentially any country with a valid program of earning a degree in. I can not be more happy that I have found the international student friends that I have, or that we have the ability to go over there and learn as well.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus	The bent tree behind the Jame Baker Building is a special place that all of the freshmen like to go and rub for good luck. The campus newspaper is named after the bent tree, and although the actual tree is gone we have erected a cast mold of it in it's honor.
Bang for the buck	You learn from graduate study professors, meet many great life friends, and most importantly you get an accredited degree from a state university at a minimal price.
What to do for fun	There are many night clubs in Atlanta that will pay students to push flyers under your dorm's main door. The clubs will send buses out to the dorms, pick the students up for free, and will bring them back. The campus usually has events going on weekly which are conducted by students as well. The majority of the freshmen's time is spent playing Xbox and enjoying the gigabit internet service on campus.
Food and Dining	The food when living on campus is very repetitive. You will develop a routine of what you like to eat and what you should avoid. You will even become a regular with the cooks by the end of the year and they will be able to make your favorite sandwich even if it is not on the menu. Go try it yourself!
Dorm Life	The dorm life is very monumental in it's after affect on life. You will always to talk to your roommates even after you move out. You are guaranteed to make many friends, and honestly it will be considered one of the greatest times in your life. I could not recommend living at these dorms more with their gigabit internet service, furnished living areas, and the ability to sign up with people that are your friends. It forces the students to look into living with other people and opening their eyes, and I could not recommend the school's policy of having to live on campus the first year any bit more.
Academic Rigor	Clayton State University can be very challenging if you are planning on going into numerous courses (over 15 credit hours) at one time. The academic rigor is moderately high because of the school's ability to cross pollinate graduate study professors with those students even at the freshmen level. This is also a very positive facet of the institution because it offers the undergraduate students an ability to see that the graduate programs offered by the school are easier to go into knowing the professors and most likely numerous peers.
Tips for prospective students	Try your best to get an early idea of what area you would like your life to focus on when attending Clayton State University. Do not decide on a major that you are not passionate about because you will regret it at the very last minute when it is too late. Take advantage of all of the resources offered on campus ranging from free tutoring to the medical clinic which offers a free cold pack to every student every semester.
In three sentences	A diversified campus with numerous opportunities and resources to ensure a valuable educational experience. Professional staff and friendly on-campus personnel hold a range of skills and backgrounds that are guaranteed to fit every lifestyle. The best thing I find about Clayton State is that it not only is offering education tailored to the vocations found right in it's backyard of a booming business capital of the world, but that it also is right up the street from one of the largest industrial shipping and supply chain ports in the world.

To take a break, I usually head to dining hall where they host small concerts for students on campus. A trip to the shopping center or movies on the weekends is also a way to get off campus and have fun.
Food and Dining	There are a variety of meal choices in Dining Hall and all over campus. There is even a sandwich shop in the Laker hall dorms so you don't have to go that far from your room to eat. Some choices may not be the healthiest, i.e pizza, but the food is edible, and if you have a meal plan, you don't have to worry about paying.
Dorm Life	The dorms in the Laker hall were recently built so they are in decent shape. There are occasional pieces of trash here and there but maintenance is pretty tight. Depending on your relationship with your roommates, you may find it to be a blast or a bust. As with any dorm, there will be occasional misunderstandings and things can get out of hand, but there is rarely any disturbances. The RAs do a good job of handling situations and there are occasional room checks to keep things in order.
Academic Rigor	Depending on your major, each class has its different level of rigor. Also depending on your mental capability to handle the amount of information spewed out by your professor, it may seem like a lot to some and easy to others. In general, you are always challenged by your teachers. Sometimes you may even have to go out of your way to complete an assignment, but in the end its worth it!
Tips for prospective students	Be sure to apply early to get scholarships listed on the website. Make sure you keep posted on your email accounts and mail you may receive. Take a tour and ask about summer programs.
In three sentences	Clayton State University is a diverse and well-rounded university. You are guaranteed a valuable education and life-long friends along the way. This school has a lot more to offer if you are willing to give something as well.

Bang for the buck	It's cool for in-state, but if you're an out of state, they will pretty much try to play you, so stay on top and pay attention of your financial aid, keep applying for scholarships, and don't loose hope.
What to do for fun	Attend all of the school activities, go out to eat, or go shopping at the mall. If you do not have a car, its best you try to connect with someone who does.
Food and Dining	They have their good days and they have their bad days.
Dorm Life	It's a lifetime experience and helpful.
Academic Rigor	Some teacher's are very confusing, but a syllabus helps you out a lot. If they don't have a syllabus, it's best you be very attentive in class.
Tips for prospective students	Work hard, study hard, and try not to get too distracted.

Greek Life	There is Greek life and they are very active on campus.
Clubs and Activities	There are a wide range of clubs to be involved in. I am currently involved in SGA and I love it.

What to do for fun	I love hanging out on campus, there is always something happening.

Dorm Life	There are two different types of dorms you have laker hall which houses freshman and its like your regular dorm style. Then you have Clayton Station which is apartment style housing. I would recommend Clayton Station because you have your own private room as well as bathroom.
Academic Rigor	The courses are tough, however the outcome is worth all the late night studying.
Tips for prospective students	When looking for a college be sure to approach it like a job. See what works best for you. Rather it's the campus life, dorm rooms, or class size.
In three sentences	Clayton State is the best university that has ever been built. There is always someone there to assist in everyday life. Everyone on campus is always very helpful and friendly.

Great for these types of students	Great for any type of student, especially those who don't like being thrown into large crowds.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus	Not really, other than Loch -- there is a rumor Loch lives in the main lake on campus. He is a sweetheart!
Bang for the buck	Your money is well spent here. Because of the small campus, you get more attention and more to do. Having instructors that want to help and see you succeed is just one of the bonuses offered here.
What to do for fun	Clayton State has a state record holding women's basketball team, a soccer team that is developing and a score of other opportunities to join clubs and organizations.
Food and Dining	There are many opportunities in addition to the campus dining hall. We have a Pizza Hut, a Food to Go, a Starbucks, Sandella's and a couple of other. There is also the book store which offers drinks and snacks.

Academic Rigor	There is plenty of help should you need it, such as our Center for Academic Success, which always has someone there to help you with tutoring. Also, the instructors are out of this world and want to see you succeed. They will work with you to make sure you are where you need to be.
Tips for prospective students	If you are looking for a small campus with lots of activities, this is it. The school has a great student body, many of opportunities and a school that works hard to keep you on track and help you fulfill your dream education.

Campus Safety	Safety is their top priority. Prepare to recieve emails and alerts whenever anything suspicious or smething has occured. Police officers and campus security roam the entire campus at all times of the day. Two local police stations are always surrounding the area.
Greek Life	I am not really interested in the Greek life, but there are plenty to pledge.
Clubs and Activities	Too many clubs and activities to list. So many you will never run out of something new to try out.
Great for these types of students	If you want to live away from your parents and learn to be independent then this is a great college for you. If you don't want to be at a boring college nd want to enjoy the college life.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus	A gym is available as well as a student activities center where you can go play the Wii in your spare time. Ducks are always on campus since there are many small lakes surrounding the campus. It's relaxing to take a walk and take the view in especially close to sunset.
Bang for the buck	If you are a Georgia resident tuition is way more affordable compared to other colleges around the area. Even for out of state residents it is not as expensive.
What to do for fun	There is always an event going on at school. I swear there is always a cookout or movie show going n every week. Different activities fill up the week so you can always have something to attend if you ever need a break from schoolwork. Southlake mall is also less then 10 minutes away where you may be lucky to see rapper T.I. shopping, or spot him at the AMC theater down the street from the Mall.
Food and Dining	The school does have a lot of eateries on campus. From a pizzahut express to their own version of a starbucks. They also have buffet style grill and a cafe. Many restaurants surround the area close by if you ever feel like going out of campus and can afford it. Most of them do deliver as well.
Dorm Life	I stay off campus, but the dorms are minutes away from the mall and local stores. You can literally walk to walmart less than a mile away if you ever need anything. The school bookstore also sells everything from books to housing supplies.
Academic Rigor	They have one of the best nursing programs. They may not have the highest graduation rate, but I think they still have a lot of potential
Tips for prospective students	It may be in a small city in Morrow, GA., but don't underestimate it. Classes are harder then high school, but the key is to study. Study, study, and study. The teachers make themselves available for any extra help you may need, take the opportunity and use it to your advantage.
In three sentences	So far being there the teachers are great. The campus has so much diversities and groups. Thereis always some new event going on so it's never boring there.

Campus Safety	You're always going to feel safe, especially on campus and especially at Laker Hall. A lot of things require your ID and check in and so on so they keep account of who you are. Public safety are always around if you feel as if you are in harms way. At Clayton Station though as well as anywhere else you need to make sure that your valuables are secured and that you keep your car doors locked when you leave it because some people are in desperate needs of cars. But overall it's safe. Treat your stuff with respect and value as you would a human, Although the security is great don't ever get to careless to think you can just leave your stuff out their in the open. But don't worry it's WAY less than Georgia State; people aren't that crazy to just go snatching laptops and stuff.
Greek Life	Although it's not as widespread as it is in other schools via UGA it's great. They host events, activities and parties. They take pride in their Greek life. I wish it was more out their than it is now though..
Clubs and Activities	A lot of organizations!
Great for these types of students	Nature Loving Smart students Students who prefer to start off at a slightly smaller school Students who prefer to get college out of the way Dual-Enrollment Calm People People who want to enjoy college responsibly lol
Bang for the buck	Great bang for the buck! It's actually quite cheaper than a lot of schools and you do receive high quality education. So this is a greater starter or even finisher school especially for the price.
What to do for fun	Hmmm for fun I suggest being involved. Sometimes their are campus based parties but other times a lot of students go home on the weekends or go clubbing. If you are involved are associated with Greeks they have personal events they participate in which are really awesome. O on some days they have movie nights at the amphitheater and this upcoming fall/winter I believe they will begin their concerts. But if you love nature you can always walk the lake on the path it's really nice. But yea, if you're involved events are always going to be popping up.
Food and Dining	The food is pretty good and some nights it's great! It's a buffet style so it's convenient if you are just a hungry college student are just want something else to eat. If you don't care for what they cook then a Pizza Hut and Subconnection is located on the other side and you can pay with your dining dollars, which doesn't interfere with your meal plan. Also it's this really awesome cafe place that serve some great coffee and the best smoothies! They also have drinks, chips, salad, and sandwiches in their, and some good sweets.
Dorm Life	I live in the freshmen dorm; Laker Hall. It's really nice! It feels like an apartment just without a full kitchen (kitchen does not have stove) the rooms are painted and it's not that ugly jail cement thing going on. Thank goodness! The bathrooms are actually quite large and are more convenient because the sink with the big mirror is outside of the bathroom, while the bathroom consist of the shower/tub and a toilet. Good distance away from each other. The only downfall to the dorms are that the walls are paper thin. So you may want to be extra cautious to what you may do...based on your interpretation... But other than that they are nice kind of small but not cramped. Their are 4 rooms to 1 dorm and 2 bathrooms (2 suite-mates for each). The beds are XL and you may want to get some mattress toppers if you do live here, just saying. Clayton Station, the apartments for upperclassmen/non-freshmen are really nice and spacious! Everyone has their personal bathroom which is big too and the rooms are larger with full size beds! They are really top of the line with a kitchen as well.
Academic Rigor	You have to stay on your A game. I'll admit their are times where you can slip off just a little bit but that's it! This is not high school where you get extra credit opportunities all the time,No you must be responsible for yourself and complete your work with the highest priority. College is great but you have to constantly remind yourself that you are here for a degree not 24/7 fun. You have to study and know your stuff with confidence. This is a challenging school.
Tips for prospective students	If you are considering Clayton State but aren't exactly sure if this school meets your priority please come visit! You will hear everything and the pictures does not do this school justice. It's great! The school is inside of a calm atmosphere, if you are more focused on getting school out of the way then this place is for you. I'll admit the school will seem slightly dead at times but their are so many activities to engage in especially if you are involved with Greeks. Also if you attend here you WILL NEED to study and stay on your A game!! The professors are kind enough and want you to come see them during their office hours, they get lonely too! So never feel as if this school is not a challenge because it is and they (professors, tutors--in/out of dorm, advisors,etc) are here to make sure that you succeed.
In three sentences	Clayton State is a great school! At first I was skeptical about attending this school, but I'm very glad that I came! The campus is beautiful the dorms are actually really nice! Way better than those you'll find at higher priced colleges. The courses and curriculum that are offered here requires you to be knowledgeable and step outside of your normal thinking corner.

Campus Safety	The campus is secured from danger by the campus own police as well as the morrow police. They patrol the campus all hours of the night and day.

The food is excellent and you are given many different choice from salads, to subs, and home cooked meals. If the dining hall not you cup of tea then there is a pizza hut, a sub connection, and cafes to help you fight your hunger.
Dorm Life	Laker Hall helps you to adjust to college life without leaving the comfort of your own home. Yes, you have to go to class but when you go back to your room you can relax after a long day. Clayton Place is beautiful apartments with many fun perks. A pool and your own room with your bathroom to name a few.
Academic Rigor	Clayton State is a difficult school but do not let that detour you from applying here.

In three sentences	Clayton State University is an unique school. This school offers a varies of programs and resources to that can be tailored to fit your needs and wants. Clayton State might be a small campus but it impact of the world is huge.

Great for these types of students	Shut ins and people who just want a degree to appease the job or the relatives.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus	There are basically no traditions.

The dorms look more like apartments and have nice furniture. Also the dorm has a really nice cafe called Sandella's downstairs that made your late night studying even better.

Campus Safety	I have always felt safe on the CSU campus. The campus police are visible and accessible. Parking lots are well-lit at night. The IT office sends alerts to student websites and email accounts to warn of threatening weather (which does not happen often). Obviously, no place is guaranteed safe but of all the college campuses I have been on, CSU is the best protected. I am unaware of crimes on the campus although off campus students are encouraged to go in groups and to stay in well lighted and well traveled areas.
Greek Life	Included in the 70 plus organizations on the campus are fraternities and sororities. For those who are interested, there is a link on the school website that will give more information.
Clubs and Activities	Most academic departments have clubs that are open to majors and other students who share an interest in the subject. There are religious and secular clubs available as well. Clayton State currently has over 70 student organizations representing student interests in everything from cultural awareness to medical professions...
Great for these types of students	CSU is a diverse university with students of all ages, races, and physical abilities. I cannot imagine any student who would not find new and different friends while acquiring knowledge for a lifetime. There are students who graduated from high school early and students like me who have returned to school during retirement. We mix together well. We are truly a community that reflects the world.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus	Central to the CSU campus is a gorgeous lake that is home to wildlife including ducks, fish, swans, turtles, and geese. Nature lovers and exercise enthusiasts will be more than pleased to stroll, walk, or run the paths around the lake and campus.
What to do for fun	There are a lot of activities on the campus but being close to Atlanta also offers the opportunity to attend Atlanta Braves games, the Georgia Aquarium, the High Museum, the Fox Theater, the World of Coke, Stone Mountain Park, and Six Flags. There are many other fun things to do around the campus including, but not limited to, the Baskin Robbins Ice Cream Parlor.
Food and Dining	CSU offers a variety of dining options across campus. It includes an all-you-care-to-eat Lakeside Dining Hall, a stop by Pizza Hut, SubConnection, or Jazzman's Cafe for a fast service. Lakeside Dining Hall The Lakeside Dining Hall is the meal plan dining hall at Clayton State. Guests may also purchase a meal at the door (Breakfast $ 5.00 + tax; Lunch, Brunch, and Dinner $ 8.00 + tax)
Dorm Life	Because CSU was a community based commuter school, dorm life was a low priority. However, over the years CSU has grown and developed from those humble beginnings into a first-class University including dorms. Ample reserved parking is available for all dorms.
Academic Rigor	CSU is academically challenging. It is up to you to take advantage of this opportunity. However, the professors and staff are exceptional and go the second-mile to help those who want to learn. The Center for Academic Success (CAS) offers a variety of personalized academic services to all Clayton State University students, including staff and peer tutoring and multimedia instruction.
Tips for prospective students	Do not be afraid or embarrassed to ask questions. Everyone at CSU wants to help. Attend the concerts, dramas, sports events, and other activities. They will help you quickly become apart of the school. Do not forget your dental health. There is an excellent dental school at CSU and the prices are very reasonable.
In three sentences	CSU is student friendly, even for students with disabilites, yet it is academically challenging. It has a beautiful campus and has recently added new residential facilities. The Georgia State Archives and the Federal Archives are situated in close proximity to the campus.

Campus Safety	Not located on a very safe zone.
Clubs and Activities	Several activities and lots of different organizations
Bang for the buck	It is more expensive than a community college of course but if you get the most of the facilities and activities you will be using some of the money you paid for it.
What to do for fun	Go to Spivey Hall for music concerts, watch a play, or go to a sport event.
Food and Dining	They have a DINING HALL plus Pizza Hut and other cafes
Dorm Life	I have no experience in the dorm life. The laker hall building looks kind of old though
Academic Rigor	It is about normal. Haven't taken too many classes yet.
Tips for prospective students	Get engaged in the school activities. Take the chance to get to know your academic advisor. See you interest they are in helping you.
In three sentences	A very organized institution with highly qualify professors. This is a four-year university with a lot of different degree options. I think Clayton State will give me the education to succeed in my professional life.

What to do for fun	There are several events going on every second. Emails pour in every day about an event for people to do. Clubs, concerts, meetings. Everyone will find something.
Food and Dining	This is another guess because as stated before, I commute. I have eaten at the cafeteria only a few times when meeting with honor's groups. It was always good when I went.
Dorm Life	This one I have to guess because I have not lived in the dorms. I commute, but I have heard the dorms are good and clean.
Academic Rigor	While some of the core classes are relatively easy and simple, the higher level classes and honor's classes are challenging. Who doesn't like a good challenge?
Tips for prospective students	Clayton State University is a great choice even if you do not want to stay there for four years. I didn't plan to stay, but I'm going to stay and receive my Bachelor's degree from here.
In three sentences	Clayton State University is a big college with a small college feel. The professors are wonderful and have time to meet with you one-on-one. It is a great college that is also close enough for me to commute.

What to do for fun	Several sports events, and the gym. Also their is places to hang out and have fun.
Food and Dining	I go to the campus in Peachtree city GA and because it is off campus ive not had the school food
Dorm Life	I live at home with my husband and 2 year old son. This reason makes me ineligibly for dorm life.
Academic Rigor	They have a great academic program. Lots of interesting curriculum to choose from.
Tips for prospective students	Be sure you know what field you want to study and if you don't know then talk to the advisers awesome. Take the morning classes if you can because it will be easy on you layer.
In three sentences	Clayton State has a great staff of teachers i each department. They have a wide range of majors for students to choose from. The campus is nice with a lot of amenities.

Campus Safety	They pass out parking tickets like chewing gum but they keep you safe. :) There are telephone polls all around for emergencies and they help you out in terms of needing a jump to start your car or if you are locked out of your car. Also a very important thing if you do not want to walk back to your car, dorm or apartment by yourself, they offer escorts for safety.
Greek Life	It is very rare to see Greek life (like stomping the yard or parties) on campus unless you are a part of that Greek life. However, they do have informative talks, and community service projects at least once a semester.
Clubs and Activities	There are a lot of clubs and organizations that do so many activities it is very hard to choose what you want to do in any given night on top of doing your studying and your homework. But there is every club for every major so at least join your major's club.
Great for these types of students	The school is for people who can balance themselves between academics, (because the teachers are very rigorous and they hold a lot of midnight study sessions because of it) and those fun times when they do spring carnivals, have those trips for outdoor adventure and things of that nature.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus	The school does not have any traditions, it is about 15 minutes south of Atlanta.
Bang for the buck	In terms of education and helpfulness yes, you are getting what you paid for. The teachers are there to help, center for academic success, the career service (to help you find a job, even after graduation), campus life (in terms of leadership classes and volunteering opportunities); they are all good places to go to get help and have fun. Especially outdoor adventure that is also through campus life. Outdoor adventure is hiking, skiing, caving; I would honestly say that is the best part.
What to do for fun	The student activities center is the place to be (you can work out and take great fitness classes and most of the seminars that are good for you tend to be in that building), and every week an organization is putting on something so you will always have something to do.
Food and Dining	The dining hall is not all that great; but the Pizza Hut station is pretty good and the little coffee shops they have are the best and those places make up for the dining hall.
Dorm Life	Never stayed in the dorm (only for freshman), but I have heard that it is not the best. The student apartments are better.
Academic Rigor	Some majors are easy, of course anything dealing with Health-care (Biology, Nursing, Health-care Management) are the hardest. They really do prepare you for the real world.
Tips for prospective students	Be ready many students say CSU is the Harvard of the south.
In three sentences	They are very different from the rest, not big on sports, so not that big on school spirit but they do try to get you involved. The teachers care so they work you hard so that you understand all the material you would need to succeed in your given field. They try to make sure every student is a successful leader and they also do a lot of community service projects and that is one of the best aspects of the school.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus	It has multiple location satellite campus great facilities .
Bang for the buck	Its at an average reasonable price.
What to do for fun	Stay looking on the school website or if accepted check school e-mail.
Academic Rigor	The teacher here ate hate bit they do assists and care that you understand it well occupy speak and ask questions. it diverse class setting.
Tips for prospective students	Get to know all you professors. stay info about your major,know were and who can help you focus and stay on top of your assignments. The staff is the to assists so always have questions .
In three sentences	Its a good school if you like diversity. it a trademark for success. it a school that push you or have you engage in wanting to learn.

Campus Safety	The campus safety is great! There is rarely anything bad happening on campus.
Greek Life	Without Greek Life the school would definitely be boring, because of lack of campus life.
Clubs and Activities	There are many clubs and organizations you can get involved in, but a lot of them are unorganized but you do meet a lot of new friends and it helps with networking. Campus Events Council, D.E.E.P., Power House Models and SAAB are the main ones with events happening most of the time.
Great for these types of students	Good school for those students who do not like to party and want to stay focused on academic work.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus	We have a Bent Tree located outside by our University Center and if you rub it then it's good luck to graduate on time.
Bang for the buck	Everything is worth the money except the meal plan. Freshman are required to get the meal plan, but I do not encourage to get one after that.
What to do for fun	There are not many things to do on campus for fun except maybe walk around the lake, go to the gym, or the game room if there are no activities happening on campus.
Food and Dining	The dining hall is disgusting, however Pizza Hut, SubConnection, Sandella's, and Jazzman's Cafe is pretty good. The dining hall is under Sodexo, but the food is just not worth the money at all. Especially since the grade dropped to an A to a C in 2011.
Dorm Life	The dorms are nice besides the ants, gnats, and ladybugs that may get in your room. The Residents Assistants do have activities and events that go on every week to do. The kitchen and laundry is downstairs and there are study rooms on each of the four floors.
Academic Rigor	The work is not easy but if you study hard and have good time management skills then you will be fine.
Tips for prospective students	Make sure you have a good GPA and was involved in extracurricular activities as well as volunteer work.
In three sentences	Clayton State University is a great school for nursing, business, and biology majors. I like it here but it's not many students first choice. Most students stay until their sophomore or junior year and then transfer to another college.

Campus Safety	Occasionally I get an e-mail warning about a knife fight, robbery, or thief. However, that only happened about 3 times in the year I was there.
Greek Life	Not much?
Clubs and Activities	All sorts!
Great for these types of students	Students wanting to graduate high school early. Students interested in graduating high school with college credits. Students who are just starting college but want to stay close to home. Students who need to be accepted for financial aid.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus	An unusual location could be the gym--lots of gym junkies can be found at late hours of the night.
Bang for the buck	I feel like some classes may be over priced. I also feel like the majority of the students don't have much personality or drive.
What to do for fun	They always have activities going on during the week and on the weekends. Concerts, recitals, performances, and games are always happening somewhere.
Food and Dining	Great food and dining!
Dorm Life	I have never lived in the dorms, but I've stayed there sometimes. They are really nice and you feel very safe in that environment.
Academic Rigor	Academic rigor is ultimately up to how involved you choose to become.
Tips for prospective students	Dual en-roll! Do all you can to graduate from high school with college credits already behind you. I worked really hard in high school so that I graduated at age 16. Now, at age 17, I have a year of college behind me with 31 college credits. Because of this, it is much easier for me to be accepted or invited to a transfer school with a good scholarship.
In three sentences	I love the classes, teachers, and faculty at CSU. The school is set up around providing me with the best options that will lead to my ultimate success. I would highly recommend anyone to dual enroll, or start off their college experience at CSU.

Campus Safety	Those are real police aon campus nd they do not play around, a word to the wise.
Clubs and Activities	Basketball and Soccer are doing really well.
Great for these types of students	People that didn't do all that well in high school and need a school that will help them develop.
Bang for the buck	Really cheap considering you have smaller classes, many majors to choose from and the amount of extras that your money pays for that are included
What to do for fun	Parties, make friends and hang out. You are right outside Atlanta and if you want to stay near campus, there's an AMC theater and South Lake mall is on the same exit.
Food and Dining	Don't buy the everyday or almost everyday plan because there are other dining options on and off campus.
Dorm Life	Dorms are very spacious and apartment style, although not for everybody.
Academic Rigor	Depends on what type of worker you are. I've seen a few assignments given to current students and it is doable, but make sure you come ready to work.
Tips for prospective students	Research all of your options and don't decide something this important on word of mouth. You need to actually do the research because what is right for some, isn't right for all.
In three sentences	I have only experienced one of the open orientations that they offer, but from that and from what current students have told me about the school; it is a perfect match for a person like me. I wasn't a star in high school and needed a school that would give me a second chance to do and be better and Clayton State is that school.

Campus Safety	very few incidents
Greek Life	strong both female and male organizations
Clubs and Activities	a great variety
Great for these types of students	working class students, young or seasoned, looking for a quality education in higher learning with a reasonable price tag.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus	out in any of the various parking area's for students you may find me in my car studying or in a peaceful meditation.
Bang for the buck	all types of programs on campus to save students money and for just being a student of clayton discounted perks off campus as well.
What to do for fun	depending on your style their are a whole slue of activities to enjoy on and off campus.
Food and Dining	multiple dinning facilities on campus
Dorm Life	never lived in a dorm but i understand it to be good for some and not so good for others.
Academic Rigor	pro-work atmosphere for a pro-working community
Tips for prospective students	stay within your limitations. do not overkill yourself with frivolous distractions, friends, parties, etc. always communicate with your professor no matter what the case maybe.
In three sentences	clayton state university has been a big influence in my life choices for my future. throughout my attendance here at clayton state univ. i have found and developed my purpose for my field in sociology. this university provides the equitable services needed for success towards graduating to their entire student community with the add component, a healthy atmosphere for working staff members, which formulates a successful aurora for projected graduating students.

What to do for fun	when ever the students aren't studying for an exam or completing one of the thirty plus (no exaggeration) chemistry assignments, they can be found either working out or playing pool at the student activity center. csu lies in the center of morrow, near the movie theatre, mall, and large shopping center; therefore, when students become bored on campus, they can slip away to any of these locations.
Food and Dining	the food is typically sub par. flavorless fish, undercooked vegetables, and seafood-liver combinations are common dishes served at the dining hall.
Dorm Life	the dorms are set up like apartments. each dorm consists of a living room, kitchenette, four bedrooms, and a bathroom on each side of the dorm. though the dorms are really nice, students are usually not in their own dorm; they are typically located in the student activity center or downstairs in the dorm's game room.
Academic Rigor	the first semester is a transitional period where new college students can adapt to college life. this semester is the only semester in which students take it easy because the second semester gets real hard real fast. the teachers try their best to challenge students, but they offer plenty of one on one help to students who wish to make the best grade possible.
Tips for prospective students	clayton state university is not an incredibly arduous university to be accepted into; however, the teachers expect a lot from their students and will not allow new students to slack off.
In three sentences	clayton state university is a small university that values one on one relationships between the professors and their students. by the end of each semester, the professors not only know the students on a first name basis, but they know there majors, desires, and dreams they wish to pursue after college. though csu is a small and relatively unknown university, i value my education here because of the relationship i possess with my instructors.

Bang for the buck	the tuition here is fairly cheap. this school may have the one of the cheapest tuitions in georgia.
What to do for fun	there are a lot of activities that partake at this school. different organizations put thing together such as, white water rafting, going on trips out of state, etc.
Food and Dining	the cafeteria food is ok. their sub sandwiches and burgers are very good. the school has a pizza hut, a subway, and a cafe for smoothies and fresh baked goodies!
Dorm Life	the dorms are very nice. they are only 5-6 years old so they are fairly new compared to other university dormitories.
Academic Rigor	the academic is rigorous, but its not so rigorous that you can not make at least a c if you try. yes you do need to attend class, take time out to study, and listen carefully in class.
Tips for prospective students	please do not come to this school and think that it's a joy ride because it is not. it is required and imperative that you show up for lectures because it can be hard to catch up after missing too many days.
In three sentences	clayton state is an exceptional, gratifying, and a learning experience that a college student is definitely able to receive. the staff are great and the campus life is very outgoing! clayton is definitely the place to attend!

Great for these types of students	All students that want to learn and meet a diversed group of people.
Tips for prospective students	Apply to Clayton State University ... you will not regret it!
Bang for the buck	The cost is very affordable & reasonable, with the high level of education that you receive.
Am enjoying being here	Everyone, from staff to students, is very polite, courteous, upbeat, and helpful at CSU. The campus is well maintained and classes are easy to find.
Am learning a lot	The professors at CSU are always available when you need additional help with class topics and they continuously encourage students to push themselves to learn and participate more - whether it is in the classroom, on the campus or within the community. Overall, I can't and won't complain as to how much I am learning.

Great for these types of students	It's great for all sorts of students. Also, their cross country team is pretty great. They hold cross country matches there as well. You may want to look into it.
Tips for prospective students	Tips: Look into other schools, visit campuses, enjoy.
Bang for the buck	It is an extremely cheap community college and you should look into it if you aren't willing to pay more. Also, if you get grants, it helps out.
Will enjoy being here	The campus is beautiful and easy to get to. Unfortunately it isn't in the safest area, but you should be fine on campus.
Will learn a lot	At Clayton State you will receive a large amount of knowledge in your courses of study. Although it isn't a highly rated school amongst all because of it's class scheduling issues, I'm certain it is fine.

Great for these types of students	Any.
Tips for prospective students	Always stay in communication with the people in admissions and financial aid until you have been fully processed into Clayton State's system. Also, don't be afraid to talk to any of the faculty or staff that you see on campus.
Bang for the buck	While the fees make up most of the tuition bill, it is still cheap for the quality education you receive.
Am enjoying being here	Clayton State wasn't my first choice school, but I difinitely don't feel bad about being here. The faculty and staff here are amazing, the campus is very beautiful and there is something on campus for everyone to get involved in.
Am learning a lot	I feel like I do learn at lot attending Clayton State Unversity. Since it is still a relatively small school, there are more opportunities to get to know professors and recieve more one on one help when needed. Also, most professors are willing to help give you sound advice about achieveing your career goals.

Tips for prospective students	Time management!! The freedom of college is WONDERFUL! But it can get in the way. Nobody is there to tell you what to do and when to do it. You're completely grown by college. Just stay focus. Don't party too much! But enjoy your college life!
Bang for the buck	Clayton State is extremely cheap. Aim for the Hope Scholarship as an extra assistance. But you are able to pay for the tuition with or without small scholarships.
Am enjoying being here	Clayton State was not my first choice, but I do not regret attending the University. It is a very nice, warm, and inviting environment. Everyone is nice and it is always something to do on campus. I absolutely enjoy it here
Am learning a lot	The professors at Clayton State are so wonderful. They connect with the students on a personal level which encourages you to want to learn even more. They make sure you get your times worth in class and it's rare you will leave confused

Great for these types of students	People with smaller budgets, in the area, and looking for a beautiful campus should check out Clayton State.
Tips for prospective students	Apply, pay, and make sure you have all paper work filled out far ahead of time! Sometimes the way you are notified that you still have things to do before you are signed up for classes or registered is confusing. Take time to enjoy the scenery. The Lakeside Dining Hall may be cheap and all you can eat, but unless you want hamburgers, pizza, and salad all the time, check the menu before you pay.
Bang for the buck	Clayton State is a cheaper community college, so it seems cheaper than other schools. For someone trying to save their money though, even between 1000 and 2000 dollars for 2 or 3 classes can be expensive. I am learning a lot though and do not have to travel far to go to school.
Am enjoying being here	Clayton State has a beautiful campus, except when it storms! The staff is always willing to help, whether teachers, the HUB (computer support), advisors, or any other department. I don't like having to pay so many fees for services I don't use when I pay for classes. The fees make up a lot of the bill.
Am learning a lot	I have a high school diploma, so some information that others are learning is review for me. All my classes teach new material and the teachers, for the most part, are very helpful.
