10 Students rated Philander Smith College
When I first got to Philander, I had a full ride scholarship. I ended up losing it due to me just not doing what had to be done, and the faculty worked with me day in and day out. We came up with tactics to help with costs, and I'm happy to say that I'm glad I stuck around. The people are always smiling even when rushing to classes. The classes can either be hybrid, online, or full time. Hybrid classes are both online and in person, the days just switch out. The hybrid classes were my favorite, because it was kind of like a break even though we still had work. Being on campus surrounded by your friends makes the experience memorable.
Every school has their downfall but philander has molded me to be the Philander Woman that I am becoming. It is family oriented and everybody knows everybody if not you at least know their name. There are some professors and staff that care so much and they actually get involved.
My overall opinion of Philander Smith College if rating on a scale of 1-10 would be a 4. I received a full paid academic Presidential Scholarship from them and nearly everything I was promised did not happen. The registration process alone was very unorganized as they did not have any of my records on file and claimed I did not have a scholarship. I tried to overlook them not being organized, but that was hard to do as things never got better. The housing I was promised was full, so we were put in what seemed like small jail cells. The food was not good, yet I was expected to use my food card to eat there. The campus is not in the greatest neighborhood, yet we were in a room that did not even have a working lock at one time. Overall my professors were good and I feel like I have learned a lot at Philander. I learned many things that will help me in my future. I learned to survive in a bad situation and my biology teacher is awesome. She has been one of the reasons I even stayed at Philander. She goes above and beyond to teach us and help us learn the best ways to study. I think if the school was more organized they would have a better success rate. Unfortunately, I am willing to give up a full ride due to nothing going as I was promised. Being at Philander has taught me to grow up and accept the fact that things may not always go as planned, but it will also teach me to appreciate other campuses even more.
I love the campus, it’s full of people who look and act like me. Philander is one if the best things to happen to me, and has multiple opportunities for me to be great! This HBCU is full of people the accept me and has amazing Greek life, academics and community.

Knowing what I know now there are a few things that I would go back and tell myself. One thing is to be activie. It is important to get your face out there and socialize in order to have a good college career. Another thing is to be prepared. You become in control of your life there is no one there to tell what and what not to do. It is hard sometimes to not party but to study you have to decide what is more important to you. Also partying is not a bad thing you just have to have a balance. Another thing is find a good positive group of friends to be around. If you are with people who are doing positive things you are more likely to be doing the same. Finally have fun. College is supposed to be the time of your life. Make sure you learn but do not miss out on the lessons and experiences outside of the classroom.
everybody is cool
The school is great.

The lack of professionalism with the faculty and the lack of student activities.
A person who is not yet ready to start at a big college and wants to have smaller classes so they are able to focus and get the grades they would like and better understand what is really going on
The kind of person that shouldn't attend Philander Smith College is someone who wants to go to a large school. Philander has less than 1,000 students. With it being a small school there is a strong feeling of community where everyone knows who each other is. For people who like to be able to be lost in the crowd, Philander many not be for them.
The thing I brag the most about my school is the class sizes. Attending a small college gives you many more oppurtunities to have academic gain. The class have usually no more than 30 students which is excellentAlso, the teachers always post office hours and give us their email if we have any question or concerns. I really love that about my school.
Because of its small class size professors get to know each student very well
Before I came to this school, I wish I have known the choice I have concerning class schedule, the kind of credit that could be transferred and could not be transfereed as well as subsidized loans and unsubsidized loans.
