I loved my college experience at this HBCU! All of the students and staff are very friendly and helpful. There are many activities and different ways to get more involved. The campus is beautiful! Most of the courses are really educational and interesting. An exceptional school for getting exercise as it is a walk on campus. Lastly, the abundance of school spirit is substantial! At any sport, home or away. Students show their support by showing up, cheering, and encouraging their fellow students.
My experience with Prairie View A&M University was amazing. I had great experience with the staff. The classrooms are a very decent size so you will not have to worry about distractions. The only problem is the financial aid department, but I feel that will become a better department overtime. The professors, really care about the students and will make sure to respond to your questions. The campus is very beautiful and you will make plenty of friends at this school! I hope you will join our PV family!
I enjoy getting an education from Prairie View A&M University. I am graduating in May with a Bachelor of Arts in Communication with a Mass Communications concentration and a Social Work minor. The academics are pretty decent, but the school only focuses and heavily funds the engineering, architecture, and nursing departments. The social scene is awesome, and there are clubs and organizations for everyone. Some of the professors, especially within the Communications department, truly want students to succeed. The best experience I have had so far is studying abroad in my first year in Rome, Italy. The staff in International Programs went above and beyond to mentor and guide me while also offering financial assistance. They also reviewed my scholarship materials for the Gilman, which I was blessed to receive.
