Athens State University 300 North Beaty Street, Athens, AL 35611

"When people from outside the south think about southern universities, they think dumb minorities,inbred hicks, and overly zealous football fans. This university in body’s two out of three of these. ASU doesn’t have football so guess which two."

"My wife goes to this school, she is constantly harassed by by the computer monitors who watch you test. The make her stand up, spin in circles, take off her hoody or blankets. Change rooms because it was “too comfortable” she is a nervous reck every time. She gets in trouble everyone I, the kids or even when the dog walks by or makes noise. The people watching the students obviously hate their job and take it out on the students. Their systems never work, open book tests are never open book because they can’t get their own system to allow their own book to be opened while testing. That’s been going on for months and affects all students in the class. She even got kicked out of a test once and ultimately failed it because I came home from work one day and walked in on her taking her test. Wouldn’t recommend this school to anyone!"

"A cheaper/affordable university. There really is no student life here as far as I am aware (no bands, no major sports other than basketball). Therefore, it is very hard to find/make new friends at Athens. It's pretty easy to find your way around due to it being an extremely small college campus. They have a few professors who are actually great. The rest are meh."

"Proud to be an Athens State alum. I can only talk about the College of Business, but I can tell you that EVERY professor genuinely cares about their students and wants them to be able to learn as well as succeed. The only drawback is that a very large majority of classes are online with no on-campus option. However, some people like it that way. While Athens State University may not have a sterling reputation like a lot of the state schools, it will provide you with an education to make you knowledgeable and competitive in the job market today."

"Classically historic campus. 100+ year old buildings some recently renovated with others planned for renovation. The state of Alabama is blessed with older historic colleges and this one is exception."
