Albany State University is a great HBCU! From freshman orientation to move-in day, I've always felt as if I were in good hands. The housing staff, professors, and school staff are all very helpful, friendly, and family oriented! Professors are very thorough with lectures, learning material, and what is expected. Study groups are a plus! With the awesome interaction between peers and countless ways of communication, study groups are highly encouraged at ASU, and proven effective! Also, there are many tutoring sessions. There is no reason students should fail. Parties are awesome and anything to imagine! Campus life is amazing; however, some greek organizations are not on the yard. I love my HBCU and will definitely recommend to anyone to attend.

I love the atmosphere at the unsinkable Albany State University. I've learned so much from everyone and everything in my first semester. Getting to know the campus, professors and students will help you a long way here. Since I've been here, I have learned the importance of time and how valuable it is. Time management and responsibility are the main lessons you learn in college that will last you a lifetime. I love my HBCU!
