The atmosphere! The university has an amazing staff! The President, Admissions Advisors, Financial Advisors, and even the cafeteria staff are so special! They roll out the red carpet! Shorter University has beautiful facilities and grounds. It has a southern charm that cannot be surpassed by any other establishment.
Shorter University was a great fit for me upon graduating from High School. It is small but fun! The only thing I would change would be the dorms. They need to be updated and cleaned! Also, I would like to see more minor degrees offered.
The enrollment process was wonderful. I do feel like there is room for improvement with the financial aid department. They have not as welcoming as the other departments that I have spoken with. They are very short when answering questions and they don’t take the time to explain information.
Ordering books through the bookstore was an easy process. There was a mix up with my books, but it was quickly and easily resolved. I even received a sweet note with the correct book.
