worst school ever. Like seriously don't go here.

CSU isn't the worst school, but it surely isn't the best. The social scene is dead if you decide to stay on campus. Most students are commuters so mostly everyone comes to class and leaves. You will not get a real college experience due to the lack of things to do, no football, no band, no fall homecoming. Just go to class, do work and go to sleep.

The biggest cons: some advisors are rude, and the exact plan for getting into your program isn't very clear, you'll have to dig for the information. Some professors rarely respond to emails. The area is sketchy. Pros: Some great professors, a pretty little campus for walking, and it's cheaper than other schools!

I chose this university for undergrad because it was a cheaper option. There are some good professors in the psychology department, but this university needs to prioritize safety. You get what you are paying for, unfortunately. Dont except a big/grand college experience.

The ITComputer program SUCKS! DO NOT come here this for a ITComputer Science degree they will only hold you back. No PARTIES or FOOTBALL TEAM,PARKING is terrible in the fallspring. Robberies and other crimes happen at Clayton Station so be careful. Campus is BORING overall. Pick a major that has to do with the College of Business.

Clayton state isn't want I pictured when I transferred here. The staff and faculty are very rude and indifferent, There are very limited classes and inconvenient times for the healthcare management classes, and parking is horrible during the afternoon. The campus isn't picturesque and there are bird droppings everywhere from the swans. Hate here.

If you are interested a community education from a community college. Than Clayton University is your place. A serious student or adult student should stay far away from this university. It does not offer quality education with quality resources ( instructors, hub, network, etc...)
