I love how everyone on campus is so friendly. Even with it being my first year I left right at home. The campus is so easy to navigate, I learned it in a couple of days without having to use the campus directory. Classrooms are a nice size and the staff at the university is so eager to help. The newly renovated library was my favorite place on campus. Inside you can get private tutoring sessions from a student who had already taken the class and passed with a high letter grade. All around Valdosta State University is the best! There isn’t anything I would change about my first year’s experience. All of my professors were so nice and understanding once Covid-19 began to spread and eventually ended our on campus experience. I love the school so much I’ve been able to convince a couple of upcoming freshmen from my home town to attend in the upcoming fall semester. Go Blazers!
My experience at Valdosta State University has been amazing. My only complaint is how they handle a crisis. They can be unorganized and only release small amounts of information to students at a time. Besides that, it's probably been one of my best decisions. I love how the campus is small but not too small, you run into friends here and there but it's not high school all over again. The campus is also beautiful, it reminds me a little bit of a historic area. There are also plenty of ways to get involved on campus and find your college friends. For me coming from a big city, it was an adjustment to the small-town feel but its not terrible living here. You still have all the main restaurants plus some local ones that are amazing! Overall I'm very happy I chose this school, its become my second home.
I loved going to school at Valdosta State University! The diverse scheduling helped while I was working full time and attending school. I usually was able to complete the courses I needed around my work without having to struggle getting to either on time. The staff and advisers were always very helpful whenever I did have a scheduling conflict or needed to be added into certain classes. The professors also were very responsive to emails when I did have a conflict or needed help understanding an assignment. However, what I liked the most about Valdosta State was feeling like they generally cared about the community. There were so many opportunities to step up and lend a helping hand to someone in need. They also hold an annual Relay For Life event that takes place on the front lawn to help sponsor cancer research and to help those affected by the disease. Being able to participate in these activities really inspired me to do the most to help others.
