Fayetteville State University is what you make of it. Me personally would like to see a change in the cafe, better food. Also having more events outside, to get people out and mingling. Last, spreading the events that do go on around to all people. This is another reason why people don't come to stuff because they either here about it late or don't check there email or have to hear it through a friend. Getting the information out to others would be a great! Other than that the school is okay academic wise.
Review Fayetteville State University
I love Fayetteville State University! I love everything about it from the academics to the social life. I love how the professors are all about seeing their students succeed so much to the point where they often offer extra credit. For the most part, everyone's friendly so you should never have to be alone. If I could see one thing change about the school, I would like to see better food options.
I loved the family environment. On the other hand, the walkways need to be fixed immediately! I've fallen once and bruised myself up pretty good. That is not acceptable!
