Southern Connecticut State University

The school provided the educated it needed to give me. Just like anything, you have to put in the efforts to get the most of your investment. Don’t assume people know all of the answers. DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH. Besides that, I received a good education at an affordable price and made some life time friends.

I love Southern! I'm so proud to be an alumni three times, and a former adjunct! I got my BS and MS at Southern, along with taking the course work for three teacher certifications that I earned. I feel I got an extremely good education from excellent mentors, enriching courses, and hands on experiences.

This school was a 3-star when I was a student back in 2009, but it has improved since then. They've renovated the campus, including the construction of the school of business and the science building. I wish the students were given more useful information about the policies and resources when they first start at the school. As a student, I personally felt that I was blind-sided by problems and issues that were avoidable, if I was more knowledgeable of the polices and procedures early on. I felt that I learned a lot of things after-the-fact. I could have saved a lot of time, money, and stress if I had better mentors or advising.

im usually not the type of person to be negative and leave lengthy reviews but this is so necessary being that im so extremely disappointed with this school! I went for a tour in November of 2017 fell in love with the campus so I decided to apply as a transfer student in April of 2018! I sent in my fee waiver form April 20th I was told it takes 2-3weeks to hear back from the school, ok cool! here it is a MONTH later still no response, nor any communication to even let me know they've received my fee waiver form and that id be hearing from them soon or whatever the case may be just complete silence!!! not to mention the students that answer the phone are very rude and snappy! I withdrew my application and applied to Iona college! I applied with them got an acceptance letter, got my financial situation settled, paid my deposit all within a week, easy as 1,2,3 as it SHOULD be. Its an excellent school with a countless number of awards, i feel as though the process of applying to schools should be as easy and stress free as possible! Im extremely dissatisfied with my experience with this school it literally had everything I was looking for campus wise, but everything happens for a reason and being that Im going into the education field I've been told from numerous amounts of educators that im better off getting a job, with a degree from Iona under my belt. The purpose of this review is not to trash talk or to persuade anyone into not applying here but rather to allow others to be aware of what they may possibly come into contact with when applying to this school and perhaps a change can come about for the next student. : ) Blessings.

I earned my masters degree in English here and am incredibly grateful for my amazing professors. I loved the experience, the challenge, and the community I became a part of and still keep in touch with. Southern changed my entire perspective for the better
