Fort Valley State University Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about Fort Valley State University? Why?

Ashley

The worst things about this school would have to be the availabilty of financial aid (such as FSEOG, LEAP , and upperclassman institutional scholarships), the availability of quality and affordable off campus housing, and public transportation. The majority of the campus is on some kind of federal aid. When the school lacks funds from the government and scholarships for upperclassman, it makes it hard for students to stay in school. There are hardly any comforting housing for upperclassman. Finally the school isn't near public transportation, making it hard to get around and to places off campus.

The worst thing about my school that I can think of is that we are not a highly known institution because we are a smaller school however we are on our way to perfection.

The worse thing about my school is dealing with financial aid. After the horrifyingly long lines waiting to cash out and recode ID cards, there isn't too much more that you have to worry about with Fort Valley State. The rest of the experience is solely up to you. Unfortunately, financial aid at Fort Valley State University is a major part of the experience and for some, a deciding factor of whether or not some will continue here. If they were more organized, kept up with student?s paperwork and kept a steady staff, improvement would be made.

LaKia

The worst thing about my school is the processing of paying fees because it is very time consuming and requires standing in long lines for hours. It also requires a lot of running around which I feel is unnecessary. There are much easier and faster ways to complete this process but they are not being put to use at my university.

Janita

The worst thing about my school is Financial Aid. Financial Aid waits till the last minute to inform students on eligibity, that post information when they get ready and they are not time consumers as far as the students are concerned.

LEON

The worst thing is the registration process; the system is antiquated ; however, improvements have been instituted in the last couple of years.

Erica

Some of the dorms are a little outdated. The furniture could use updating.

Tiffany

The worst thing about Fort Valley is the financial aid service. It takes entirely too long to process finacial information and you are constantly given the run around.

LaTasha

The worse thing I would consider about my school is that there are not enough students activities going on around campus. Many students either go home or travel on the weekends, leavng the others who don't really have campus stranded with nothing to do. I belive this has got to stop!

Middle of no where.
