Albany State University

"I am not pleased with the lack of communication and outcome of housing. My son is excited to attend his first year of college and I have been having the worse experience tying to get him settle into a dorm. His classes are paid for, but because there is no vacancies for housing, he will not be able to attend. I attempted to speak with the director, Antonio Leroy, regarding housing for him. The conversation was not pleasant and welcoming as he stated he was on vacation. If housing was filled before I submitted my son application, why would you not SHUT the housing online application down and STILL take my application fee???? Housing has been filled since April when the application first opened!!! This whole ordeal has been very unorganized and frustrating. I have not been able to speak with anyone regarding housing or anyone has contacted me ASU regarding anything (even when I’ve left numerous messages). The only person whom has been very helpful and consistent is Dr. Rhonda Hunt with my son major program. I drove 273 miles, paid for a hotel and gas and for nothing. The entire trip was a waste of time and very stressful. My son classes are already paid for but he has nowhere to stay. I am a single parent so getting an apartment is not in my budget!"

"Handicap parking was easily accessible. But they're still long walks in between buildings. We were there for a dance recital so we had to park in one parking lot and walk over to the next building in order to attend the recital in the theater"

"The financial aid office has been my biggest problem since I’ve enrolled here not to mention that they dropped my classes because they lost my paperwork. I never liked it here and this is going to be my second year attending this school. Every time I turn around I’m always getting the runaround. Something needs to change if you still want students to return or enroll in this school because this is ridiculous."

"This university is very unprofessional. It is very slim to none as far as helpful staff members and as far as getting your money’s worth it is not going to happen. Not to mention this university is very far out from everything else that is happening in the community. If you are not coming or sending your child with a car they will be very miserable. Please think twice and visit the campus a lot before you commit to this school."

"I attended a discussion on firearms with many community leaders including the Mayor of ALBANY chief of police also Teresa Tomlinson whom was the mayor of Columbus Ga. currently running for U. S. Senator very knowledgeable an a caring personality."
