"This school is highly unorganized! No one answers phone calls, emails or anything! They take your money then treat you like you’re a nuisance! Staff in the housing office is very rude! I would not recommend this HBCU"

"Perfect weather, almost like florida ,winters aren't bad,good people n nice rideing roads ,Good place to build or buy a home n start a family"

"It was fantastic. I helped my Granddaughter move in. The room is small, but it had everything there. A bed, a desk and a side table for her clothes plus a wardrobe."

"A hot mess. Very unorganized. Lady in the student financial building or whatever its called was very rude all because she had a job to do and didn't prepare a lunch. I've been having problems with this school from day #1. I would not recommend this school to any one....oh, and another thing about this lady a student asked her to highlight something on his paper for him and she acted like it would have killed her to do something. She didn't do it. I felt so sorry for the young man. If I could give this school negative stars I would. This is the most unorganized school I've ever dealt with. Nobody and I mean nobody answers their phone nor answer emails. School start next week and I don't even know if we can move in or not. Don't even have my fafsa award letter yet. This is beyond ridiculous and something needs to be done about this. Taking our money then pushing us off to the side. DO NOT GO TO THIS SCHOOL"

"I drove down from DC for the Bulldog Fest/Open House & TICKETS were a mandatory thing, LIES. Unorganized, late beginnings, instead of doing small groups for tours they separated the parents & children and the parents didn't get to tour. What us parents got was a mile walk from SHM to the Leroy Daniels Bldg but that was changed once we all walked up there, we were stuffed into an auditorium in the Engineering building with standing room only. This was not planned very well & had the left hand knew what the right hand was doing we would have simply been asked to move closer while in the SHM building but instead the poor communication ruffled feathers with myself & family members of other students. The Q&A was joke, too many unanswered questions which would make me not want to send my child to this "illustrious university" as too many put it. Upon returning from the student tour my son said it was a large & very ghetto campus and knowing him this wouldn't want to be where he laid his head every night because he wouldn't feel safe."
