Kennesaw State University Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about Kennesaw State University? Why?

Taylor

The worst thing about KSU, would probably be.... Some of the sucky teachers. My math teacher this year was awful, so you relaly need to use ratemyprofessor.com when signing up for classes, it really helps a lot.

I would say the worst thing about my school is that is is mostly a commuter school. It makes it hard to form any "school spirit" amongst the students on campus. Because there are so many different types of people at Kennesaw (parents, joint-enrollment, etc.) there is not a uniform age group on campus either. So the most difficult thing is that people on campus can tend to come for class and then leaving, having no time spent building a community.

Not knowing what is going on at all times other ways then having to go out of your way to walk around and find out

Jeremy

It's still primarily a commuter school, KSU is working on it to make it more resident friendly.

Emina

Sometimes I feel there is too much drinking that takes place.

Christine

The worst thing would have to be the size of the dining hall compared to the size of the student body that is hungry. Although the dining hall is new this year, during the main eating hours it can take up to 20 minutes to get a single plate of food and find a seat. It is nearly impossible and sometimes you find yourself still hungry after leaving, because they were out of food.

Emily

Because KSU is mostly a commuter school there isn't the sense of community that you would find at a more residential university, you have to work harder to get involved and foster a community around you.

Alyssa

The worst thing about Kennesaw State University is that the school requires every full time student to pay for a meal plan, even students who commute to the school. It is very difficult for students especially with night classes to abide by a meal plan when the dining hall closes its doors earlier than when classes start.

Honestly, I love my school. There aren't too many bad things about the school, however parking is a nightmare. This isn't because there aren't enough spaces, but because people are too lazy to walk from all of them. I also think there could be a better emphasis on carpooling, and riding bikes from the neighboring communities. Plus, we recently opened our first dining hall, which is great--except that it's mandatory for the majority of students. And coming from someone who lives off-campus, having to pay for food quite frankly, sucks.

Drew

The fact that my school is an up and coming University. While it is a renowned and very well known school it still hasn't completely outgrown its status as somewhat of a commuter college. Living on campus in the apartments it can be hard to make steady friends as a vast majority of students are commuters to this school.
