    I am thankful I was able to attend community college for free with the help of TN Promise. If it wasn't for that program, I wouldn't have attended college. Through CSCC, I was able to join clubs on campus where I met so many amazing friends that share my goal of a successful and driven future. I enjoy the library consistently, including book clubs and the Late Night Against Procrastination. where it stays open late before finals. They also bring in stress dogs! Although it's not perfect, I couldn't be happier about choosing to attend Cleveland State.

    Cleveland state is a small campus with a family like feel to it. The classes are small so it gives us an opportunity to have a closer relationship with our instructors. The campus is in a great location and the campus size allows easy access to all department buildings. There are student activities going on all the time at Cleveland State. Athletic departments are also supporting other sports by going to games and also working. They have a great orientation day for parents and students. We were taken on a tour of the campus and had the opportunity to ask any questions that we might have. It was great to get familiarized with the campus before classes actually started. I felt a lot more confident after taking the tour.
    Cleveland State is a great college. Most of the staff and professors care about the students at the college and are always willing to help. The Cafe on campus is amazing as well so definitely check it out!
