Fayetteville State has greatly exceeded my expectations, being a Fayetteville native I automatically disregarded the school because I heard so much about it from others. After attending the university and gaining first hand experience, I can attest that I have grown a fond love for my hbcu! The campus is much more diverse than people assume, almost all students are actively involved in organizations and communities, and there is never a dull moment because the SGA ensures that students voice is heard when it comes to planning events. I would rate Fayetteville State University at a 10 out of 10, overall this institution is well organized, professionally staffed, and academically rewarding; This is one University you don’t want to overlook!
Like any other college, Fayetteville State is what you make it. It is a family-friendly oriented university. There are many amazing organizations you can join that helps you socially, academically, or however you decide to take that advantage as. At the time, it was the only school that offered a Forensic Science program, plus it is affordable! It is a small campus so it wasn't hard for me to learn my way around. It actually only took about 3-5 days to know majority of where everything is at. Fayetteville State has some caring staff and peers that help you succeed. There are many resources to take advantage of as well. Overall, Fayetteville State is an excellent university. I am able to maintain good grades, along with having fun and a social life. If I could go back and make a college decision again, I would still choose Fayetteville State. I felt like I was at home the very first visit here.
This is the only college I have been to, so I cannot compare to say it is good or bad. They try to keep the students active, they always have something on campus going on.
What I would like to see change is the removal of all the mold in most of the buildings. Most of the buildings are very old, that is understandable, but they need to keep up to date with it! What is the point of paying almost a thousand dollars a semester for a good dorm if said good dorm has mold in it? Surely, many students have complained, and I would know since they would sometimes talk to me about it.
