I am going into my sophomore year at THE Grambling State University. So far, I am absolutely loving my time at my HBCU. I have completed my first year on the Orchesis Dance Company under the direction of Diane Maroney-Grigsby. My education here is so informative as well. I am thoroughly enjoying my professors and everything they have to offer. Our athletics, fine arts and other organizations are exceptional and even our food options are great! I am so proud to be a Tiger at THE Grambling State University and I am ready to see what the future has in store for me.
I love that Grambling State University is a place where everybody is somebody! Everyone is given chances to improve themselves & make something better out of it. I would like to see sororities and fraternities change, every 2 years should be whenever students should be allowed to join.
As an international, Grambling State University bridged the gap between my ancestoral and historical knowledge, breaking the culture shock experienced. The place where “Everybody is Somebody” is the slogan indicating that any individual who attends GSU will find “a home away from home”. The community of student, faculty and staff are remarkable and accepted me for who I am while we exchanged culture. Teaching styles are tailored for the classroom and online, and faculty are willing to listen to students problems, offering the help needed but not “spoon-feeding” students. At this college, student life is fairly balanced with work, classroom and extracurricular activities with several clubs and organizations providing opportunities to be involved on campus and in the community, while also building a sense of belonging. I would not change my decision for anything in the world.
