Continued. The classes weren't challenging, the professors were very rude. Administration treated us as we were prisoners. The residence life sucks, the dorms are nasty and unlivable. They ration off the laundry rooms, cut holes in the shower curtains, roaches everywhere. If you want to go to a school were there's CLASS then this is NOT the place.

I went to Talladega College anticipating a great HBCU experience, boy was I in for a surprise. Yes, the school is in a hick town, but I felt the culture of the school would drown it out, sadly my first few weeks there were very boring. No one wanted to get to know you unless you had a blunt in your hand. I really regret going here

Staff who care about students have been fired or pushed out due to corruption within the school. Living conditions on campus are often unsanitary, with issues like mold, unreliable hot water, and cramped living spaces. TC has a troubling practice of withholding students' refund checks. These issues overshadow the college's historical reputation.

They have a ton of room to build the place up! The school needs a lot of work and they need better people in charge at the top! This school needs a lot of work for it to be a good school!
