Southern Polytechnic State University Top Questions

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

Kevin

The classes are hard. the school takes its education very serious and it is difficult to balance it all and still do well.

The worst thing about our school is that we need more participation from alumnis. We don't have as much support from them as we should. The next would be more sororities and fraternities. I think it would liven up the campus a bit more!

Kyle

The dead weekends are probably the worst thing about my school. Theres literally nothing to do here on the weekends, so having noone here just adds to the boredom.

Michael

The worst thing at Southern Poly is lack of unity the student body has. Students never seem to come together to take on issues around our school, such as the rising cost of education. The fees have skyrocketed over the past few years that I have attended the institution and nobody seems to want to do anything about it. Since no one comes together, the students at our school have no voice.

Some teachers should take more time out to go over material more in depth. The university gives them a timeline of things from the class description to get done within the semester, but they need to see when the class as a whole is not getting the subject, and allocate more time for going over it. The professor has the discretion to slow up a bit or continue along without regard to the student's grasp of that subject matter. The latter shouldn't be happening, but, it does on other campuses, and SPSU isn't an exception at times.

If I had to pick a worse thing about Southern Poly, it would have to be how the Technology departments seem to have gotten the short end of the stick. By Technology depatrments I mean Civil Engineering Technology, Mechanical Engineering Department, etc. These depatments are much older and currently the CET department is using the old maintenance building. I understand that Southern Poly is trying to expand and add more programs, which they did by building the new engineerng building where Civil Enigeering, Mechanical Engineering, etc. is taught. I just wish that they focused on the Technology department some more.

I think the worst thing about our school is that there are tons of foreign professors. Having them are good for the foreign exchange students but i am having a tough time learning the subjects they teach. Not being able to understand my professors is causing me to have to go to tutoring on top of my full schedule.

Meg

The thing that I find worse about Southern Polytechnic is the lack activities to participate in, with regards to sports. I recently started a swim club on campus, because I love to swim, but in years past, I didn't have any sports to participate in. The social experience at SPSU isn't at all like other campuses, and I have found, that just based on swim club, I have met a lot more people and have finally become happy with the activities at Southern Poly.

Seperation of majors. There is not much interaction between certain majors once CORE classes are complete.
