I feel like the school overall is amazing and their are a lot of opportunities for minority groups. There are many events that go on to help students of all identifies and the school takes pride in its diversity by having many events for the many ethnicities at the school.

Kate - 04/02/2023

It is a loved college. Because it is close to my house because it is near my home town. It is also a safe college as well because it does have safety as well. And it also has sports as well. And the student life over there is good to average. It also has a food court as well.

jacob - 11/11/2020

It’s good but not great. It’s not that big of a campus compared to university which is good but some times it gets a little crowded because of how many students (freshmen) there are. Especially around the first few weeks of classes. Overall I love it and I would recommend it to anyone as a good starting block if you do not want to go to a big college.

Emily - 07/23/2020

I have only been at this school for one semester but so far it has been a great experience. The classes are very hands on and the professors, faculty and students are all really nice. Im looking forward to experiencing more of it, especially the performing arts part.

  7. What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

    I wish I had thought to submit my AP scores as soon as I arrived?I didn?t submit them until this year and I?ve already taken the classes from which they would have made me exempt! I also wish I would have known to take all my classes on the main campus. The scheduling process can be confusing and I ended up taking classes at three locations the semester before last because I didn?t know what all the abbreviations meant.

    There is no one way to describe my classmates. They are diverse. Differenent ages, races, at different points in their lives. Some are parents that have the time now to go back and better their lives and their kids lives. Some are high school students just trying to get a leg up on thier education. Some people are at Chattanooga State to get some hours in and transfer, while some people are there to earn a degree in a technical field. My school is wonderfully diverse, while still keeping ties with unity.

  12. What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?

    The worst thing about Chattanooga State is the bad parking. For the fall 2009 semester the parking was so bad off that getting to class on time even with arriving an hour before class was a luck situation. They are still working on the parking as of right now. So every week there is a new part of the pavement that is detoured and tore apart. The inconvience of finding a parking space is the worst thing about Chattanooga State.

  13. What's the most frustrating thing about your school?

    Probably a tie between the horrible financial aid department and the horrible parking situations.
