Took a tour and the campus is beautiful! There are so many opportunities for students to grow and flourish for their futures! There is so much amazing history of tenacity, strength, and courage. I more than welcomed obtaining knowledge on this history as an African-American Studies (specializing in South Carolina) major myself. read more

I visited SSU for homecoming weekend and it was really invigorating. It was my first experience and I really did enjoy my visit. After living in Savannah for 7 years, it was nice to be able to experience all the presence of the SSU community and beyond. Homecoming was really nice and I can't wait to attend next year. read more

Savannah State University - Homecoming! A tradition to unify alumni to return to there home during undergrad! - Colleges & Universities Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

Stop to this great HBCU on a college tour for my daughter. This is one of many great HBCU in Georgia. The students were passionate and smart, the administration was inviting and prepared, and the campus was outstanding. This is a great place for students to tour on their selection process for college. read more

I was in Savanah to help a young man begin the next phase of his life. It was so exciting being on campus. The parents dropping their sons and daughters at the small HBCU seemed just as excited as their children. The campus is small but it has everything they need. read more

An amazing experience unlike any other, extremely proud to be an Alumnus of this prestigious institution.

I applied to attend SSU Spring semester 2024 and got accepted. My experience with getting the assistance I needed was basically non-existent. There was a lack of to no communication about the class registration process, advisor switched several times, and the school tagged me as an out-of-state student when I've been a resident of Georgia for 2 years. I attempted to go through the tuition classification appeal process for about 10 weeks and received no assistance and no communication to resolve this issue. The site says the process should have only taken 3-4 weeks. To be considered a resident only requires proof of at least 12 months of residency which I sent upon acceptance and followed up checking the status of my appeal every few weeks. Nothing. I've had to email and ask the school to un-enroll me because I won't be paying tuition times 4 as a resident of Georgia. They are already showing their lack of care and professionalism, so it may not be the school for me. read more

I'm a proud graduate in Mass Communications. The school is great it helped me in many ways than a little. It helped me inside and outside of the classroom. They offer many resources you just have to go and get them. My experience was based on how I made it and anything that I didn't obtain fell on me! I would like to thank Dr. Earl Yarbrough for all of the mentoring and resources, Professor Kai Walker in the Kennedy Building who is "building a religion" and all of the trials that got me to the end! Remember the name, it will become #Household. read more

Money hungry!!! Their top concern is revenue not education. Some of the instructors don't instruct, they just READ from a book, say "got it," then exit the classroom, before you can close your book. You're basically renting space in a classroom and teaching yourself while contributing to a loosing sports programs, worthless insurance, and useless transportation fees, that's if you have your own car, moped, bike, etc. Admissions doesn't know what registration is doing and vice-versa. Financial Aid seems to only be helpful when the school is going to make money. Records took a ridiculous amount of time to process my transcripts, 6 weeks! The bookstore and instructors are supposed to communicate, which the instructors claim they do, yet the bookstore will sometimes sell the wrong book, usually the previous version. Seriously, they will have only one book available for a certain class and it will be the WRONG version. This happened in 2 of my classes, this semester. When students called to complain their response was "that's the book the instructor posted for their class." Great example of passing the blame!!! It doesn't matter how many departments you speak to, everyone has a different answer. When you question why no one knows what's going on, you get to deal with attitude. I'm a current student and have been attending for a few semesters, but other students who have been here for much longer have pretty much the same complaints. On any day you can stand on the campus sidewalk and listen to annoyed and angry students. Oh, let's not forget that there have been two shootings on campus this semester (Fall 2013) and one ended in a death. read more

I graduated from here and I am successful in life, working in my Major and I had the time of my life here! The school has also grown and looks nothing like it did while I was there from 2002-2007. It is 100% AMAZING! SSU was right about their quote "You can get anywhere from here" My whole crew and my frat bros that graduated from SSU are all doing well and are successful! So, kudos to SSU! I wouldn't change a thing about my SSU experience! Go Tigers!!!!!! read more

DONT send ur kids here.. The education is trash.. they fine you for everything and they don't know what they doing. the food is trash and you don't have multiple choices to choose from for food. The kids are either childish or boujie the teachers don't care about you and they won't help you and it's just amazing how everyone is so nonchalant about everything I'm just fed up with this school and I'm transferring as soon as possible read more

Being at this university for the short period of time it is, the foundation is terrible. Lack or organization, employees who show up late to work on a constant basis, rude staff, and when you ask for help or explanations many just say I DONT KNOW??? If your meant to work for a specific department I think you should be well aware of any issues a student comes to you about. Admissions, Cashier Office, along with a few counselors just don't care about the student or what they need don't they just like to charge and request what ever money is needed for the university. It's clear that the university is Money hungry. They charge for so many things that they don't even know what they are charging for. I was over charged on a few things to where I had to point that out to them for them to remove it because it was their mistake. The only thing I can say is the professors are kind a understanding, the dining options at the university could be more health conscious for sure, but other then that the only positive that comes out from the university are the professors. read more

I love my HBCU #2020 but we need some scooters this campus to big and it's to hot to be walking lol #tigerpride

Their Student Records Coordinator is very, very nasty and very unprofessional. In order to receive a copy of your transcript you have to use a service contracted by SSU. I waited nearly 3 weeks to receive my transcript (after contacting the contractor twice), before I was given the number to call the Record Coordinator directly. After leaving a couple of messages, I finally got Latasha Lawton. She seemed angry that I had contacted her directly. She said that they pay the company to do the service and I shouldn't have had to contact her directly. I told her I had contacted them twice and they finally referred me to her, BECAUSE I INSISTED. I explained to her that I had a job hinging on an official transcript, and I really needed it. I also told her that it shouldn't take 10 business days for a transcript to be mailed from one part of Georgia to another part of Georgia. And that I've had to travel to Savannah on 2 separate occasions (the school is 3 hours away) to resolve other issues about getting my transcript for employment and grad school in a timely manner. Ms Lawton reluctantly agreed to send me another copy and stated that "I'll print you out a copy, but I can't control when you'll get it no matter where you are." So very unprofessional and nasty. I truly hope I get my transcript this time. My next call will be to the Registrar and then to the President. Ms. Lawton works for the public and really needs to check her attitude. She is an embarrassment to my great alma mata, SSU. read more
