Review of The VSU Spectator

I love VSU for the people more than anything else....

I love VSU for the people more than anything else. The main reason I chose to attend VSU was because there are some fantastic people here on campus, from Professors to Deans to students. Yes, there will be some people you do not agree with, but overall I have found professors to be receptive and willing to help further students in their careers as students and future employees/employers in the real world.

I love the weather and acclimated to the temperature(s) quickly. Invest in rain boots and an umbrella for spring rains if you come here. Do not rely on the buses to get you to class on time; professors will not take that as an excuse. Most everything is centralized on main campus, so the bus is only necessary/an option if you live in Centennial, off campus, or need to get to North Campus (business school).

I encourage everyone to get involved on campus; I met my group of friends from living in Reade Hall, but I'm involved in HSA, ALD, the Odradek, Dance Marathon, etc. There are TONS of ways to get involved on campus and in the community and make a positive experience out of your time spent in college. Give back while you have the time and ability to do so. Meet people. Have fun but remain responsible.

There will always be drama, and the media will always latch onto that drama. Visit the campus, meet some people, decide if it's the place for you.
