South Carolina State University

Wonderful school! Excellent President, Provost, Vice-Presidents and Deans. The faculty and staff are also well-qualified and very helpful. They graduate great alumni - Congressman Jim Clyburn, Army generals, and many, many others. They face funding and infrastructure challenges like many other schools across America, yet they move forward boldly. There is new construction everywhere. Send your child here. You will not regret it!

DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE!!! Horrible is an understatement when dealing with this university! Nobody does their jobs!! The level of security and safety for students are nonexistent! They trick the students into coming here by passing out the scholarships to only find out later that the scholarship doesn’t really cover everything they told you in the beginning. It started with them assigning my son a room then they switch that two or three times up until the time it was time to move. We find out two weeks prior that every room will be double bumped. Which they knew this information wayyy before. They just decided to wait to tell the parents at the last minute, so no one could back out and transfer somewhere else. They admit all these students and go around selling these students a lie to

if you are a student looking to go to college DO NOT GO to South Carolina State University. They made my life hell. the living dorms were horrendous. They don’t fix anything and if they do, It’s not fixed properly or the proper way. Also I’ve been having so much issues with FASFA and the financial aid office. They never pick up the phone. They never ever answer emails. Just the staff where is at the living is really not worth I mean the tuition and living is cheap but not cheap enough. This is got to be the worst HBCU there is do not come here. It will be the worst Experience you ever have

This place needs to be shut down for remodeling and a staff overhaul revamp! Nobody wants to work and do their job! Terrible communication with a staff that take two hour lunch breaks, and the kids can’t get them to do anything. The dorm rooms are just atrocious! They have these kids crowded in those dorms that need serious remodeling they are worse than public housing! Don’t even consider sending your child here!

If I could give them a zero I would. I think this is the worst university not just HBCU in the US. Lazy and unprofessional staff! Security is awful basically nonexistent. And the dumps they have these kids living in are worse than Anything I have ever seen. The worst, unclean outdated dorm rooms ever! Definitely don’t send your child here!
