    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.
