Benedict College — Attraction in Columbia

I am a graduate from Benedict College. I will not sugar coat anything but I will say the pros and the cons.From my freshman year attending they were good for the first few months. Then I started seeing mold through the bathroom and rust all over all the showers,sinks etc.My sophomore and junior year it was every dorm infested with roaches. When I moved out the put me in oak which is the honor form my room with 2 other girls had been infested with roaches and the dorm director said it would be a few days till the exterminator will come . The. A few weeks went by still no exterminator so my rooms and went And set bombs off which killed them for a short time. I moved to the freshman dorm. However there have been some proffers and deans that have helped me along the way with the cafe and our dorms. I will thank those lovely people . But the new president Dr.Artis she is trying her best to do things however with my believe of them being short of funds I think it may be progressing to get better bet it will Definitely take time . So advise everyone who wants to come here please GO SEE the college first. Ask them if you can see...

This is a parent of a Benedict College Student; If you are considering sending your son or daughter to this school. DON"T. It is the most poorly managed facility I have ever seen.

We are considering hiring an attorney and seeing what can be done. But, buyer BEWARE. DO NOT ALLOW YOUR FAMILY TO ATTEND...

Definitely one of the SHITTIEST (not a word but still), yes, SHITTIEST schools I have ever been to. President Swinton is an idiot and a selfish, self-centered criminal. The school staff are just all of Swinton's little puppets who try to keep you in debt with the school for as long as possible. Most professors at Benedict College are either underpaid or they lack the qualifications needed to even teach elementary students. Scholarships are a pigment of your imagination. Half the students who go to Benedict, stop going to class by the fourth week of school. It is saddening to see a black community and college greatly deteriorate due to the criminal ways the President is running the school. Question, how does unworthy President Swinton create so much wealth and no reinvest some of it into his school? Swinton = criminal, idiot, and a danger to his...
