I can't speak for the other academic areas, but the Veterinary Science department is wonderful and I learned a lot in my time there. The professors care about whether you learn or not. Though there are downsides, for example, there are only 3 or 4 veterinary professors for an overwhelming number of students. The understaffing can cause a lot of stress for everyone, but the professors that are there are good at their jobs!
My experience has been interesting at Fort Valley State. Attending college in the middle of a pandemic has been difficult. It has made it a little harder to get a hold of school officials but the overall experience has been top tier for an HBCU. The black culture was extremely welcoming and the resources they have available are surprising. The staff is slightly unorganized, but they will get you the answers you are looking for with a little bit of time. Plenty of on campus activities and outings that are still socially distanced. Tuition is moderately affordable and the dorms are pretty spacious. Overall I'd give Fort Valley State University a 8 out of 10.
Here at fort valley, I love the people that attend here. The people are very friendly and make you feel an at home feeling. The area of fort Valley is pretty basic there’s pretty much nothing out here and something I’d like to see new at fort valley are better advisors!
