one of the most important decisions in life is choosing what college you want to attend.I think i made a really good choice with that. Dont let anyone try to tell you not to attend a school because of what they've heard about it, you have to try it for yourself "DONT KNOCK IT TIL YOU TRY IT" Southern is truly a great school to attend.

This school is really going down they are doing budget cuts & laying off teachers a good bit of teachers after Spring semester... I plan on transferring somewhere ele by the Summer. fin aid is terrible making all of these errors plus the attidudes you deal with, they are so unorganized thats why the enrollment is low.

I have gone to Southern University for 3 years and I have had some truly wonderful teachers and advisers. In my experience most professors work hard to help students by tutoring and advising. The greatest student advocates on this campus are our professors! It's the train wreck of an administration that's ruining SU not the professors.
