Very pretty campus and super nice people. Everyone is very welcoming to new students. Classes are nice, most professors are very easy to get along with. Dorms are decently big and clean for the most part. Everyone os courteous of each other and its an overall very great place to be. The dining halls food is okay, not a big selection though. They serve the same things over and over and usually the things they say they'll have on the menu aren't actually being served. Other than that, the campus is a fun and diverse place to live and learn on!
The online experience for Southern was fairly easy for me. I can’t speak for others however, my professor we’re all very understanding that not everyone was in the same situation. Southern provided student who had no access to internet with access so that they would be able to continue their studies! Next semester will be online again so I’m looking forward to more understanding and patient professors.
I decided to attend SCSU to save money. When the pandemic started, I decided to commute because of the restrictions on dorms and confusing information. Classes are mostly online and my in-person class quickly was moved online because the professor found it more convenient. I know fellow students who are mainly taking async classes where you teach yourself and the professor just grades (this includes a chemistry class). There were many events on campus, but almost all of them are empty. Everyone goes home on the weekends, I have been one of 3 people left in the building on Saturdays. Overall, extremely lonely and isolating. Clubs are hard to figure out and theres no one contacting you about meeting times.
