What do you consider the worst thing about Clark Atlanta University? Why?

Phyllicia

It is underfunded. Because it is a private institution , it does not recieve nearly the amount of money that it should so scholarships are hard to come by

Christina

The worst thing about Clark Atlanta University is at the beginning of each semester financial aid and student accounts offices are always chaotic, in which makes your registration process long and tiring.

Jasmine

The worst thing about Clark Atlanta UNiversity would have to be the Financail aid line but that is at all HBCUs. Since fall of 2007 they have worked on it and it has gotten extremely better. Do know this You have the resorces to be successful but they will not be given to you, your simply shown where to go and what to do. It is on you to make things happen.

The only thing I disliked about my school was the Financial Aid office. The office is not good at giving students money for school. The end of first semester I had made the Dean?s list , I went to the Financial Aid office to see if I could get a scholarship and they still told me NO! My Family Contribution was too high; I felt if that was so accurate I would have not taken out a loan to attend. I felt like I worked really hard for those grades and did not get any award in return.

not enough financial aid

Victoria

The one thing about Clark Atlanta I dislike is the financial aid. The office there is often too congested and it makes it hard to talk to anyone. The tuition is very expensive and I feel like if the office were more organized, fewer students will have issues.

The worst thing about school was the shifts for the cafeteria because breakfast was over too early and dinner started and ended early as well too.

Alyssa

The worst thing about my school is the financial aid. It is the worst because in some way there is always a problem with it. Although it gets resolved, there is still some kind of problem.

Chamiere

The cost of the school. Clark Atlanta is very expensive and the financial aid department needs new staff. The staff can be unfriendly due to the stress of angry students who have not been financially enrolled.

The areas surrounding the campus because it's ghetto, ugly, and should be rennovated.

Rachel

What i would concider to be the worst thing about my school would have to be the neighborhood. The neighborhood is not all that great although Clark Atlanta University encourages there students to clean up around campus.

Tahirah

The worst thing about my school would be the student assistance with housing, financial aid, and regestering for classes. For years the school has accepted more students than they could house leaving them to make last minute arrangements to stay other places. Student loans are very difficult to get approved so some students end up having problems paying for school. the school doesnt have reasonable payment plans for tuition, asking for nearly 80 percent up front. and alot of students dont graduate on time because they are not told of alot of requirements for graduation geared towards thier career goals.

Erica

The worst thing about my school is financial aid.

Shona

The fininancial aid office is VERY slow when it comes to processing paperwork. I am on a scholarship but they don't process my scholarship until the last day. They are also very bad about getting back to you when you send e-mails or leave messages.
