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.

Winston-salem State University is an excellent school! This is only my sophomore year and I’ve learned so much. My educational experience here at Winston-salem State will definitely mold me to become successful at the career I choose to pursue. I have also gained so many friendships and relationships with classmates, professors, even the janitors cleaning the school! Every is friendly and easy to get along with. Attending Winston-salem State University has been the best decision I’ve ever made!
With COVID, online learning hasn't necessarily been easy. In class, it's much harder to pay attention due to being at home and having quite a lot of distractions that may hinder your learning. Also, the semesters are somewhat shorter, so everything feels so packed together. As a result, it feels like there are way too many assignments, and not enough time to just reset for a bit.
But it has not been always been a struggle. Professors are willing to be lenient and help students out due to so many circumstances. While there are more assignments given out, the amount of free time to work on them has increased as well. Also, there are many more learning and professional opportunities out there since they're all online now.
Overall, my experience has been average for the most part, and if given the chance, I would like to return to in-person classes. However, that is not WSSU's fault at all because of the pandemic, especially when the issues are recent with COVID happened a year ago.
