Took my senior to the college tour and it was just so all over the place. Ignorant loud parents and…read morestudents as well as guides who just didn't care enough to give the tour. I witnessed guides leaving families out of conversations and not giving chances to ask and answer questions. My kid also was approached by some other kid from God knows where on the tour bus and he tried to fist fight her. Nothing was done. And the faculty just kind of drops you off at the end and leave you to fend for yourself. The cafeteria food was terrible, the green beans bbq chicken in particular but the dining room staff were all kind and amazing. As soon as we got to the parking lot we scratched Valdosta state off the list and this was her top college.

This review is mostly specific to VSU's Odum Library and also its student center--I was visiting…read morewhile doing academic research and not a student at VSU myself, so I cannot comment on classroom instruction, student life, or faculty really. (Although that said, I know a couple students there who are very pleased with the school and their overall education.) The Odum Library is a large, modern, facility built I would guess from its design in the later 1980s or early 1990s. It's clean and not really showing its age but does display efforts at keeping it current. The reference librarians lead by Laura Wright and Denise Montgomery are beyond helpful, knowledgeable, and adroit. Denise especially was able to answer many specific research questions I had and even came over to offer more advice unsolicited, which was above and beyond the call of duty and very appreciated. The special collections are well-housed and easy to access and their archive of local history is superb for researchers researching issues germane to Valdosta and the region. Also of note, the library has a collection of original Rembrandt, Dalí, and other prints and medieval illuminated manuscripts. These were donated by a benefactor to the library with instructions to house them where patrons would see them, however, it's amazing they're not in a dedicated museum or gallery given their notability and value (they are though framed and presented very nicely and professionally). They line a hall between the circulation desk and reference desk and are a must-see if at the library for any reason. Other notes on the campus: most of the architecture is of a Spanish/Moorish revival style which as a cohesive whole actually is very attractive and works really well--it's a pretty campus overall. There are also many fountains both large and small: I've never seen a school so enamored with darn fountains. The student center is fairly new and contains a Starbucks, Moe's, and other fast food restaurants and is comfortable and well-appointed if a bit small. My friend Trayvon says they actually always do have various student life activities going on and the campus is a pleasant and engaging place. People, whether students or faculty here, are nice--like really, really, nice. Very helpful and friendly, moreso than many institutions I've visited.

Valdosta location. The medical department is a joke. The surgery tech department currently has no…read moreteacher. DO NOT apply. We are half way through the semester and im in their central sterilization tech class that is a required pre rec. to the surgery tech program. We have not had a single class or lab and they have yet to be able to hire someone to fill the position. Meaning as of rn there is no teacher for the surgery tech portion next semester as well. We are left to learn on our own with only a textbook which wouldn't be a issue if the material in the text book matched what we were tested on but it does NOT. I just had to take the mid term for the class and it is full of questions programed with wrong answers. Showed up for my med. terminology class this morning. The teacher for that was a no show. No text, e-mail, or even a note was left on the board. But we were told by multiple people she was in the building. There was a guy in the nursing program who was in the office same time as me and a classmate looking for our teacher and he was filing a complaint on an instructor who was making inappropriate comments enough to the point it upset the entire class. And it feels like the dean Frank is never any help. When you bring up an issue he diverts it to someone below him. If you want anything done or any answers you have to go above him. My classmate and I have asked for partial refunds for services that we paid for but did not receive and have of course not been given anything back.

When I got back to class Mrs Taylor informed me she put me down as a no call no show and I wasn't able to complete my last 4 months of class and this was after I emailed and spoke to my advisor who also never emailed me back. The school is a joke and I do not recommend anyone going there.
