Columbus State University — Local services in Columbus

CSU has been full of great opportunities that I have had the chance to take a part in and I've only been here a year so far! The campus only continues to grow and improve and all of the faculty and staff have been more than willing to help me get to where I need to be. Just like any school, as long as you stay on top of your work, it'll have some of the best times of your life! Can't wait for next year!

Edit- One year later and I wish I could give it more stars! CSU's professional faculty and wonderful staff always leave me wishing other places were like them! CSU has given me some very valuable education and experiences. Every university has its faults, but with CSU, if you try and make a difference, they'll help you! People like to complain online but never do much in the real world. I've had very few times where something was amiss at this university, but when I addressed it to those that could help, they would do exactly that, and it would be fixed before I even knew it. Learning in the classes here is more fun than it is a chore if I'm honest. The professors really care and the classes are small enough to make real connections. I wish I could speak for everyone, but sadly I can't and am not sure just how true these bad reviews are, but I can attest to my incredible experience at CSU and how it is one of the best schools in the Southeast and definitely a hidden gem to those looking at schools. Still can't wait for another great year as CSU only gets better!

Second Edit- It has been quite some time since making a review for me! It's been so long, that I graduated a year ago! Crazy stuff, but I still love this university! Through the pandemic, the tough times were made easier by support of the faculty and staff. Before the pandemic though, when this university could shine without limits, it really showed me what I was made of and what I could do in this life. Although smaller than most, CSU is mighty due to its community, support for students, and overall amazing ways of teaching. Looking back, I can tell there were moments where I was learning so much and didn't even realize it. Now that I have graduated, I can only appreciate my time there and wish that the end wasn't so bittersweet. If you are ever thinking of coming here, I would say go for it! Somehow, it is just a place that proves your potential and pushes you into new and better...

why is social security number a requirement? at intake I had to provide the number and I did so begrudgingly as i was given no option and assured security controls were in place. Months later, a year or so now, my portal is prompting me to upload copies of my SS card. Why? No details except that it’s an admission checklist item. I’ve been admitted for some time. I don’t know if it’s due to the site and email changes but I’ve been experiencing quite a few issues. Also, I would appreciate if the big curb in the biggest parking garage could made better. I’ve lost a rim to it and during new semesters, car debris can be spotted near it and near exit/entrance. As I type this I’m watching a car go the opposite direction in the traffic circle near the dorms. This happens all the time with little consequences. Weather alerts and trespasser alerts are sent to students and faculty but business operations still go on as normal. Basically, use your own discretion. I do not feel student and faculty safety is...

Take your GI BILL somewhere else, this is coming from an AD Veteran (68w20), currently in the Reserve. I had orders/memo, I was called to an unexpected training (Surprise Med Coverage for another unit) event and I was uncommunicated for a week. This entire week I spent out in the field doing MOSQ related training. When I was finally able to power my phone and had time to explain to the professor and actually send her the orders she disregarded my orders like they were nothing. Then her "Supervisor" as in Department Chair took her side because apparently they refuse to acknowledge that I have absolutely no option when it comes to orders or training. They have successfully made me despise a class which was once my passion, great learning experience. Not to mention the ridiculously broken "Channels" of communication which are pointless to use. We (Veterans) are apparently just dollar...
