One of the standout features of Allen University is its commitment to fostering a supportive and nurturing environment for its students. This commitment is evident in the small class sizes, which allow for more personalized attention and mentorship from faculty. This can be particularly beneficial for students who thrive in a close-knit academic community. While Allen University faces challenges common to many smaller institutions, such as financial constraints and competition for resources, its mission and impact remain vital. By continuing to focus on student success, community involvement, and academic excellence, Allen University maintains its important role in the landscape of higher education.

It’s a great small hbcu. Everyone thinks just because we small we don’t have fun on campus but we really do. Everyone knows almost everyone. We have awesome staff members and the professors try to stay involved with you. They like to get to know you.

Alisha - 08/07/2019

Allen University is a great school to come to! Of course all schools has their ups and downs, but here at Allen we're all family! If anything I really consider Allen to be my home away from home. I have met wonderful professors and students who do nothing but support you in everything you do!

    The worst thing about Allen University is it does not have an Army ROTC program. In order for me to have ROTC I will need to do a transit form from another school. Which cause a lot of paper to fill out for each semester to be in the program. for instinct I go to the school that have the program financial and then go to their business registeration. I do not mind doing it because this is what i want to pursue in but at times its not organize for me to understand, especially the paidments for the class.

Overall the service in the library is great, its just that I believe with more funding, it can be better.
