Kennesaw State University Top Questions

Top notch education with the cost of a state school. Attending Kennesaw State was the best choice I've ever made!

Although it is a predominately white institution, there is still so much diversity on campus and I value you that so much. The school tries not to cater to one race. There are a lot of different clubs here that anyone can join. Literally, there is a club for EVERYTHING! The teachers are amazing, of course depending on your learning style, and they challenge you to do your best. Food is satisfactory. When I was a freshman I loved going to The Commons, but I guess now I'm use to it, but it's still good. I love my school and the many opportunities they supply to the students are never ending!

This school is more than what I expected it exceeded my expectations and beyond

I love this school so much! It is just the right size. Campus is a reasonable size which is very important for those times when two classes are on opposite sides of campus and you only have 10 minutes to get to where you need to be. The absolute best thing about this school is the facilities we have. Our student recreation center is phenomenal! Part of it is under construction and is set to open in the fall of this year and it is going to be absolutely amazing! Also out Student Center where all of the student organizations are located is such a great spot for students to hang out in between classes or even when they want to find a corner to study in.

Kennesaw State University has the best dorms out of most other universities. We are always expanding and reaching out to a more diverse area. The diversity and number of students, mixed with the way the campus is laid out give it a "big school but close knit feel." When people hear I go to KSU, they always tell me it is a great school to go to because of its friendly and beautiful environment. The best place to spend any free time on campus is on the campus green. During the Summer, lots of students are there playing frisbee, soccer, tumbling, running, having picnics, reading, and just hanging fun with friends. Although, Kennesaw is not a college town, it is only 25 minutes from Atlanta, where there is plenty of things for college kids to do. The most recent controversy on campus is about parking. That is the only thing I would change. With the school expanding and reaching out to a bigger audience, parking is becoming more and more of a problem. Another complaint would be the administration. The departments are not always on the same page and it takes a lot of time, effort, and patience to have a simple question answered or task completed. They will many times just transfer you to another department and you will find yourself being transferred multiple times, and even back to the original person. Working with the administration can be frustrating but, I still really love the school and environment and would never want to leave. There is a great amount of school pride. Many students are involved in sports and multiple organizations. At sport events, the stands are always filled and students get dressed up in school colors, make banners, and paint their faces. Our mascot, Scrappy the owl, is very energetic and fun at the games. Sometimes, he will be walking around or hanging out on the campus green. Overall, KSU is an amazing school and I would recommend it for anyone.

The school is great and leads to many great experiences. There are great student associations and events that are on campus all the time that appeal to many students that are interested in becoming involved. I spend a lot of time in the Commons, which is our all you can eat student dining hall and on the Campus Green which is basically like a small park. There is a lot of school pride, regardless of the season. Many people where the school t-shirts faithfully as a part of their wardrobe. When major games are scheduled, you will definitely see the school pride.

I like Kennesaw! It's a good blend of the country and the city, because it's only 30 minutes north of Atlanta. I just wish we had a drumline (I'm a drummer) and more school spirit. It's not that much of a "college experience" for me since I'm a commuter. But I have heard that living on campus makes it a very genuine college experience. I would do it if it weren't so expensive. The Commons (a dining hall) is great! Really good food and tons of friends.

The best thing about this school is the fact that you can do things on your own time and not necessarily be bothered by other students, due to the fact that most students are commuter students. The one thing I would change is the attention to parking---because there simply is not enough, and everyone knows it is a problem. My school is very large but perfect for me because not everyone lives on campus and it is never extremely crowded at once, unless you consider the parking decks. There is not much school pride because we don't have a football team or any other sports team to really be proud of, and I think that's what really makes students proud of their schools, as opposed to academic achievements.

I think that one of the best things about this school is that I have not once met a staff member who was not helpful and passionate about doing a good job. All of the professors that I have taken truly strive to make our education as beneficial as possible. When I have worked with specific offices, such as the Financial Aid office or the office of the Registrar, those who worked there were always kind and helpful. I think that the size of the campus is just the right size: large enough so that there are plenty of students, yet small enough that it is easy to walk from one part of campus to another (whereas at many universities, one would have to drive or take a shuttle). One thing that I would change about KSU is that the parking enforcement is lacking. During my two years of living on campus, I (as well as many other students) dealt with a serious shortage of parking spaces, because the majority of the spaces had been taken by commuters (who have their own reserved parking). When one of my residents and i voiced our complaint to the parking control and KSU police, both parties claimed that the other group was responsible for assisting us. In the long run, we got nowhere because no one would claim responsibility.

I love KSU. The school is just the right size with several beautiful outdoor areas and wonderful dorms.
