I think CSU is filled with passionate educators. I am a part of the 100% online program. I am very grateful for the opportunity to finish my education. I enjoy my classes yet it is very difficult to get ahold of counselors and admissions.
I love the support from other students and the staff when it comes down to supporting one another’s businesses. Also, when we have events, everyone comes out and enjoy the evening. Robe events are by far the BEST events to attend at Central State Univeristy.
I just wish Central was not in the middle of no where and I wish the school was bigger. Also, the older dorms should be remodeled !

The school is very good and has good education and it ain’t much to do on campus unless people come up with something to do and there’s nice people on campus you can talk to and things like that.
DO NOT COME HERE. Where to start? The living conditions are terrible, the food is terrible, you can't even come into the cafeteria without the workers giving you a dirty look. The Ward building has roaches, and cash management is rude and they will yell out what you owe to the whole world. I have sent them multiple payments and I get a conformation email but the people in cash management will act like they don't have it so I end up paying more money just for them to lose it.Central State is a flat out disaster. I will be transferring from this sorry excuse for an institution.
AVOID THIS SCHOOL. Read the other reviews. This "school" is a scam & a total waste of time & money. Its administrative officers are full of incompetent personnel. Specifically, the registrar and admissions staff severely lack the qualifications necessary for their positions. Neither offices are at all knowledgeable about transcripts procedures, admission requirements, financial aid processes or status, how to ask for support, how to use their intranet and school systems, how to collaborate with other schools, and many other serious deficiencies. From speaking to these people, it's clear they received their jobs due to hiring discrimination against better qualified persons. The low acceptance rate is not due to strict requirements, but the incompetences of the administrative offices. The requirements of the school are actually disqualifying factors elsewhere. The poor quality front office furrher explains the horrendous graduation rate & low career pay of those that do graduate.
What I love about central state is that I can be me and not have to worry about being judged about anything.
Being a first generation student to actually attend a Historically Black University gave me hope and aspiration. It made me bloom into the person I am today. Being apart of extracurricular organization while maintaining a 3.0 G.P.A pushed me to show that I am capable of doing anything. With the help of my professors and advisors, I am guided in the right direction for me to see a clear vision of what I want to do. I am Happy and grateful to be a Marauder and soon to be Centralian #AlumniStatus 22'
Central State University is an amazing HBCU that lets you connect with like-minded African Americans while earning your degree. I love that atmosphere here. The sense of family and togetherness is always present amongst the staff and students. Professors here strive for their student's success and well-being. One complaint, however, is the services at Cash Managment. They are often slow and ill-tempered.
My online classes here at Central State University have been decent. The teachers are always willing to provide help if you fall behind.
It is difficult getting information from the staffing at the school. At times they are rude and unwilling to help.
In the Engineering School of Central State our professors created to the best of their abilities access to state of the art labs and also in field experiences. They work their hearts out and keep head above water against a University that doesn't appreciate the hard work they give. My professors gave me the best chances to be the best me and for that I will do what is necessary to become a successful engineer. The work ethic installed in me by them is one of a kind and even thought the University as a whole is a little rough they make every second worth being there.
Central State University is a very unique university with its own culture, tradition, and experience. Going to Central State University teaches you not only academics but it also teaches you how to navigate the real world also. Coming from CSU teaches you how to navigate through adversity and creates a confidence that anything is possible and manageable with a strong will and decisive attitude.
Communication is very clear and concise. It was a bit difficult in the beginning but things are much smoother now.
During the time of my enrollment until my graduation date, some key improvements I've noticed that could be implemented is more interaction of the Student government association with the students in terms of planning social outings and group activities.
In addition, be able to provide additional outreach events for the community in terms of allowing college students to engage with the community and perform community service.

Although there was no online learning available during my tenure, my learning experience was in person and the professors were engaging in terms of overall teaching and implementation of subject matter being taught.
I loved the communal atmosphere at Central State University. The teachers were always attentive and I feel that I received an adequate college education from the University. The only downsides were that the school was unorganized at times and it took a long time to receive answers and resources from administrative staff.
When classes moved online due to the Coronavirus pandemic, teachers and staff worked fast to ensure that all students were accommodated to adapt to this new way of learning.
