Winston-Salem State University — Attraction in Winston-Salem

I love my HBCU. As a WSSU 2009 alumna, it helped me to grow and develop my mind, spirituality, and appreciate even more of who I am and my cultures history. I wish every Africa American would have pride enough to encourage their kids to go to a HBCU, because they will not only depart with the much needed skills for a career but also the skills needed to navigate the highs and lows of life as an African American in a secure environment. My experience with WSSU taught me to never take for grant an opportunity for expanding your mind and gifts, because you will regret it if you miss it. I have built life long bonds stronger than the ones in high school, because the people that I connected with have grown and change and will always reach out to you to help aid you whenever they can because they are your brother and sister bonded for life; you just have to ask, just like in any family. WSSU my HBCU gives my life long pride, family, and direction, because I will forever be a scholar seeking the knowledge to improve my life and community.

Finish and be a Ram and not a lamb fatten for...

If I could give it zero stars, I would. The teachers are incompetent and the vast majority aren't even licensed to teach--they're merely there because they have a degree in a particular discipline (that doesn't mean you can teach, though!). As others have stated, the financial aid office is notorious for being wholly unhelpful and unable to keep up with the needs of the student. If you want your loans and tuition to go down the drain, then sign right up! This school has been the bane of my existence for the past four years. I hate it so much and I hope that this review discourages potential students from enrolling. PLEASE save yourself the heartache and pain that comes with being a student here. There are so many other great HBCUs to attend. Don't be blinded by that label, no one here cares about you, your success, or...

I am a proud alumna of Winston-Salem State University (2008) and I would not trade anything for my experience. I took advantage of their Distance Learning program and was able to affordably obtain my undergraduate degree. The financial aid office/staff does become overwhelmed during enrollment, but I'm sure most colleges have this same issue. Both my daughters attended WSSU, lived on campus, and would be able to share their experience of living the college life as traditional students! When my daughters were going on campus tours prior to selecting their college - WSSU sold me as a parent based on the size of the campus and the approachable faculty. My daughters were not just a social security number, they had people connected to them that truly cared if...
