Winston Salem State University has made it a point to make information accessible. I am a transfer student from a community college and the transfer could not have gone smoother!
My advisor has been extremely helpful in answering a long list of questions about transferring credits, my path towards a Doctorate of Physical Therapy program, and more.
Overall, they are an affordable, inclusive, and helpful university that I would recommend to many people. I have several friends and family members that have earned degrees here and they all have had good things to say!

My experience at Winston Salem State University has been amazing because I get to experience life in a different city and learn about African Americans from various backgrounds. It's also amazing because I get to have freedom because of my strict parents, and I've learned things that I didn't know from my time entering a four-year community college from a community college. This university also has one of the best nursing programs in the country, which attracts a lot of females who want to be nurses. In the nursing field, because of this nursing major, I almost changed my major because of how good it is. The atmosphere at Winston Salem State University is very chill because there are people who are very friendly and willing to help you.
great environment for all and the professors are very helpful. we have the the Involvement Fair where there are multiple options and opportunities for students to get volunteer time along with part-time working opportunities. Organizations such as the House Museum of Arts volunteering along with victory Junction work were the top most options that I liked personally for the experience. Hill Hall is one of the many resources given to the ram students. The building has many opportunities for tutoring and group studies. With testing centers and computer labs on display, all students are welcomed for a workshop meeting.
