04/26/2020Central Connecticut State University is a great school academically if you take advantage of the opportunities available to you. As an alumni student, I can say that if you put in the necessary work, you will earn the grades that you deserve. The professors I had in the Accounting program were always available during office hours or by appointment. Many of them are advocates for your success, they want you to do and perform well... in fact, there are still a few professors I still keep in touch with, and I have asked them for multiple recommendations. I recommend prospective students to apply for the Honors Program. The Honors Program provides a generous scholarship for four years. In addition, their curriculum consists of classes that cover most general education courses, relating to geishas, robots and sex, and time travel. Outside of class, the clubs I checked out were amazing or mediocre, depending upon the club leaders intent and involvement. As for on-campus living experiences, I recommend Mid-Campus housing, although it is slightly more expensive than the other dorms. The food from the dining hall was at best, alright on the good days. I found myself often buying Starbucks instead. It is also very easy to make friends in classes, the student center, cafe, library, and more. As for the weekends, recently in the last few years the campus police have been shutting down house parties as soon as they begin. Therefore, most people (with their fakes, or 21+) crowd into Elmers, Russian Lady, or West Hartford bars (I personally love Division West). In sum, I found my undergraduate experience at CCSU to be an enjoyable experience, and I recommend prospective students to visit the school and see if they like it!

04/12/2020CCSU was a wonderful school to attend from 2012-2016. I was able to make friends within the first 48 hours due to the programs offered by the Office of Student Affairs and the tight knit all female dorm I was in. My academic experience was phenomenal. The Physical Education Teaching department are made up of some of the best professors in the University and I also loved each English course I took. While I didn't too pay much attention to athletics, they were fun when I attended and the social life was what we made it. I never felt pressured to get involved into risky behavior and felt supported in my choices.

02/05/2020I think CCSU is a great option for people who are struggling financially. I hear they help many students with aid, unfortunately, I am not one of them but the tuition is still cheap compared to other schools. CCSU is also very close to me since I am a commuter so it seemed like the right choice. The school is a decent school for commuters however I have heard that it is boring if you live on campus because there are not many activities.

12/30/2019I love CCSU. I think I have received an exceptional education here. Attending this university has opened up so many opportunities for me. They offer wonderful study abroad trips both for traditional and non traditional students. They have several different clubs and organizations that you can join. The career center helps students with finding jobs after graduation and during school. The professors are passionate about what they teach, and the classes, for the most part, are interesting.
