The worst thing about Clark Atlanta Universiy would be the lack of financial support. Being that Clark Atlanta University's cost of attehndance is $36,000.00 per year, there is a large amount of stuents who struggle to get enrolled. Obtaining help from the school is nearly impossible. There are few scholarships that the school has to offer. I believe that due to the lack of financial support Clark Atlanta University provides, students are less motivated to earn their degrees. Although money does play a vast part of college, students should have more scholarships available at their institution.

Attending Clark Atlanta University you learn about the history of African Americans that you never learned in highschool or in your community. Entering Clark Atlanta University first semester I learned so much about my history that I was never taught in school or taught through the elders in my family. I was able to go back home in December and share what I have learned with others like friends and family members and surprisingly they were englightened by the information they learned from me because being older or younger than me they never knew these facts about their history.

The Mass Comm department is one of the best in the country. There is a Mac lab available to the students when needed. Workshops are given weekly on Final CutPro and PhotoShop for free, you just have to be a student in the Atlanta University Center (AUC).
