The worst thing about my school is financial aid this school does not offer many scholarships and the cost to attend this school is very expensive.Aside from cost the schools visitaion policy is absurd they are teaching us how to become adults but controllong who can and can not visit our room is a contradiction.

The worst thing about Clark Atlanta University would have to be the amount of competition in the school. Atlanta is a city where a lot of people come to get discovered and to network in whatever trade that they are involved in. Being that Clark Atlanta is apart of the AUC, there are many students that are trying to do the same thing, which means there is a lot of competition.

Attending Clark Atlanta Univerisity I believe the worst thing about taking classes here would be the social atmosphere. I say the social atmosphere because people here are not very friendly. They only talk to people they came to attend the school with.

I consider the staff in the offices of my school to be the worst thing about my school. The staff can be very rude to both students and parents who are trying to get things sorted out at the beginning of the semesters or just in general. The staff working at my school have no respect for the students or regard for their feelings. It makes it hard to focus on the good things about the school when the people you have to talk to when you have a problem are so rude.

There is not anything that I think or consider too be worst about this college.

Amber

The worst thing about my University has to be the baskteball gymnasium. I believe this is the worst thing about my school because it is outdated. As students we are charged a fee to have access to the gym, but it is old and no one wants to go in there. There is not a lot of room for fans to come and cheer our teams. I feel like it should be renovated.

School pride overrall on campus is terrible, especially within the second semester freshman. A lot of student attending Clark Atlanta University speak negatively about the school and it's programs. I feel that this has a lot to with competition between Clark and Spelman and Morehouse. Spelman and Morehouse show a lot of school pride and they also have a lot more funding than Clark. Therefore they are able to produce more or better quality works thus making them "better schools."

When it comes to attending Clark Atlanta University, I would advise for the prospective student to apply for as many scholarships as possible, because what a lot of people do not know about CAU as a whole is that it is a private HBCU. Often times, private schools or HBCU's cost more than a average school. Secondly I would also advise the prospective student to get invovled in at least two campus organizations in order to bulid relationships with other students on campus. Last but not least, get to know the upperclassmen, they will help you!

One of the worst things about my school is school participation within sports. The only games that have the bleachers filled with students are the Morehouse vs. Clark Atlanta rivalry games.

That Wise classes want you to get that you need for the class, but never use them. So you are spending hundreds of dollars on books that you won't use. But you try to return them they wanna give you less money for them rather then how much you paid for them.

Alexandria

I dislike, how there is not alot of school spirit, or alumni support.

Raven

The worst thing about my school would be the price of tuition.The tuition is expensive and a lot of students are unable to pay to further their education.

Asadia

The worst thing about my school is the cost of tutition. The cost I'm paying to attend is not worth it academically. I havent recieved as much knowledge as I should have since I have been here.

Raven

The worst thing about my school is the lazy worker in the the retention office and students accounts. Dealing with money is a drag at this school because the office is not offering the support that the students need.

Artrell

I consider the worst thing about my school to be the amount of help offered to students past freshman year.

Shayla

The worst thing that I would say about my school is the cafeteria and the food that they serve. I do not like that freshmen are required to select the unlimited food plan which costs a lot of money but we do not receive what we pay for. I don't like the selection of food we are able to choose from but other than that I wouldn't complain about anything else.

Leslie

The worst thing about my school are the faculty and staff that are over student accounts and other auxillary services. Many times they can be rude and impatient. However, I do not let their actions take away from my college experience. Clark Atlanta Univerisity is a great school!

Shantae

There is nothing that I consider bad about Clark Atlanta University.

Maurice

The worst thing about my school is the amount of aid financially available to students. As I do attend a Historically Black College and it is said that 98{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of students qualify and need financial aid including me. This makes every year a surprise resulting in many students in addition to me not knowing if we are going to be able to attend one semester to the next.
