As I walked through the campus, I was struck by the intimate atmosphere and the genuine sense of community that permeated the air. The small size of the university made me feel like I was not just a number, but valued member of a close-knit academic family. The welcoming and supportive environment at Albany State University reassured me that I would not only receive a top-notch education, but also have the opportunity to grow and flourish as an individual. The faculty and staff were warm and approachable, and I could sense their dedication to help students succeed in their academic and personal endeavors. I felt my visit to Albany State University feeling excited and optimistic about the prospect of starting my academic journey there. I knew that I would be challenged and pushed to excel, but I also knew that I would have support and encouragement I need to reach my full potential. Albany State University truly felt like a place where I can grow.

It’s a university that values their students and education. They strive for each of their students to do their absolute best and try to be sure that their students are prepared for their career when they graduate. All of the staff, including advisors and administrators, are always welcoming and professional. I appreciate the fact they give updates via text, email, and phone call so even students who aren’t on campus are still in the know. The university is very welcoming and treasures their students and staff. I only would like more extracurricular classes available for online students. My experience at Albany State has been good even through the time of my sickness. They worked with me to get back into school and gave me an advisor who checked in regularly to be sure I had any extra help I needed. I wouldn’t change anything about my experience except for me to actually be on campus but so far, it’s lovely.

It's a great school to come be a part of it makes it feel as if were all one big family. I have enjoyed my time here they offer great resources for student's study tables. And you can always get in touch with your professor and get in touch with them to have a meeting or to just speak with hem during their office hours. The food here is amazing has a special day on Wednesday it's always an outstanding cool event called wassup Wednesday. The athletics here I think are fun. But the cafe food and diversity that they have is pretty delicious and depending on how many swipes you decided for the week it's always a diversity to choose from and its always fresh. The library is my favorite area of the campus it's always a welcoming environment and books that date back long ago. But overall, for me it has been a good experience.
