The best thing about FVSU is the southern hospitality that spreads throughout the Wildcat community. I have enjoyed my experience thus far, from the students to the staff, even the janitors are nice and helpful. There are so many different opportunities that are in the Wildcat community, from joining clubs to watching some of the staff take on the students in fun games of basketball and football. The campus has grown so much over that past decade and even the upgrade of the food, parking lots, and even the dorm life is different. There is an overall helping and learning opportunity at Fort Valley State University!
My experience here at FVSU has been pretty good. As far as academics go, the professors are here to help you! They put in effort to teach you and advise you. This school as many opportunities to help you be successful in your area of study. Outside of classes, there are many activities, sports, clubs, and organizations to join to enhance your college experience and your resume. FVSU is a relatively small school, so it is very easy to network and students are willing to stick together like family.
Fort Valley State University has a great experience overall being a huge university in a little town. The professors work closely with the students and there's an awesome agriculture program. My favorite part of FVSU life is HOMECOMING! It's absolutely amazing! The food strip, school pride, intense football game and even wildcat a lashes for students to fully enjoy events throughout the week. There are even tutoring services as well as online help for assisting with classes that may seem difficult. I enjoy being a wildcat and look forward to graduating this Dec.
