i love it! its a place where i feel like im home away from my home.im also pleased that the upperclassmen treats its freshman well.to be honest i think any freshman sophomore junior senoir transfer or readmit should reconsider and make philander a top choice and selecting universities and colleges to go to for a particular major, may i suggest political science because the professors are immaculate about teaching. I love how welcoming kind hearted and welcoming my fellow colleagues are.I love the fact that no matter what edpidemic,pandemic,or any global infection, the goal never stops for prevail and its students to prevail and exceed to prosper and thrive in completing the goals and tasks needed to advance to the competitive life of society the world throws at them. Im intrigued with the fact that each and every individual including myself have a unique and globetrotting story of how and why we here.
I like the professors at Philander, my experience here has been phenomenal. I feel "at home" here and included. The professors care and are always available to help to keep you on track. However, if you do not reach out with your problems, questions, or concerns then the professors do not know what is going on with you. I do not live on campus but there seems to always be something going on that students can enjoy.
Philander Smith College is not the place to attend and have the full college experience. I have been at Philander long enough to know that Philander only sells dreams and never promises. Philander Smith College doesn't listen to the students' concerns instead they ignored us numerous times and never gave us true answers. I was brought to Philander under false promises such as more residential buildings would be added, the student parking lot was going to be fixed (didn't get a fix until my junior year and that raised the tuition), etc before coming. Important paperwork would have been lost or misplaced and your process would be on hold. The majority of the staff doesn't take responsibility for their mistake instead blames the student. Philander Smith College felt like going to another high school.
The only good thing about Philander is the students became family and were always there for each other when it mattered the most and we ended up having a good time.
