Clayton State University Reviews
Rating 3.63 out of 5 1,245 reviews
So far the teachers and staff are fantastic! I feel like they really do their best to help you succeed. The campus is beautiful and interesting. My very big complaint is that the food here is terrible. Not just bad in fact compared to MC Donalds our food makes MC Donald's taste like a 5 star meal. Their also is pretty huge lack in athletic choices here. Which is fine if that's not what you are into but the sports atmosphere is severely lacking. All in all the school is quiet the people are nice and mostly everyone keeps to themselves. However if you are looking for that big college experience I wouldn't recommend it for you.
I've been attending Clayton State University for 2 years now as a dual enrollment student, and my experience has been nothing short of amazing. Having the ability to take college courses as a high school student is a great privilege that I am grateful Clayton State offers. Clayton State has great professors who are extremely helpful and easy to reach out to. There are also many different ways to take classes such as online, hybrid, and full in-person. The in-person classes are also offered at many different locations including the high school that I attend which makes taking Clayton State classes that much easier. My only gripe is that the high school locations do not have as many good rigorous classes as the official campus of Clayton State.
It’s been a wonderful college so far! All the professors I had were very professional and were willing to make time if you needed. Many were understanding as well. The staff were nice to talk to, especially the cleaning staff, and were always there if you had any questions.
The one downside is that there are a lot of things happening on campus that you just don’t know about. There would be events by outside parties or there would be filming, and we were told of this very late.
