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!
The Fort Valley State University is an excellent college, the staff are amongst the most helpful people possible. The classes are very interesting and the environment is very professional. This is college, so the party scene is “hype.” Everyone makes you feel included, which is definitely a plus in today’s society. I don’t feel “judged” as much as high school, while it does give you space & room to grow. The campus gives a “home vibe/feeling.” I wish there were more clubs & activities similar to my major, but it’s not a big deal. I look forward to continuing my education at FVSU & I’m very hopeful that I’ll be successful.
Fort Valley Overall was a good school to attend. It felt like a family. The dorms were pretty great to be college dorms and so was the food. Professors checked up on you to make sure you were okay and knew the material in their class. Your wildcat email will be your best friend at fort valley. That's how you communicate with your teachers, know about deadlines, and on campus activities. The student scene is fun because everyone knows everyone so we all come together to have a great time.
