Categories Comments Am enjoying being here I do enjoy being here, at first I was a little bummed out about having to go to a college that was out of state because I didn't necessarily know anyone. I made some friends and met a lot of people and it is a comfortable environment. I don't regret making the decision of coming to this school.
Am learning a lot I did learn a lot actually. The whole year I had excellent teachers that worked with their students individually whenever they needed it and they dedicated their time to give us a better understanding of the material.

Categories Comments Campus Safety When I began going to HSSU, I was a little concerned for my safety due to the location. However, I have not had any problems on campus or in the parking lots. I feel at-ease when walking around campus. There are security guards and emergency phones in the event that one is needed.
Bang for the buck The tuition at Harris-Stowe is very affordable.
What to do for fun Harris-Stowe State University is very near to downtown St. Louis...the possibilities are limitless!
Food and Dining I have not eaten the cafeteria food, I do not live on campus. But the snack machine is always available.
Dorm Life They have a new dorm building, but I do not live on campus
Academic Rigor The workload has been fairly easy, but it all depends on the instructor.
Tips for prospective students Students must be prepared to do a lot of footwork when seeking answers--the staff is not always willing to help--at the college level, they expect you to be resourceful. Ask a lot of questions before--I cannot stress that enough--you begin your education here.
In three sentences The tuition is quite affordable. The instructors, for the most part, are knowledgeable. The school has a long history in the teaching field and are breaking barriers in other fields.

Academic Rigor it is a challenging school but if you apply yourself it can be really easy. you must keep up with your work.
Tips for prospective students i would say three tips for prospective students are too go to class, eliminate procrastination, and give it everything you have for the years you are their. the teachers at harris-stowe all say that if you participate and show up to class, the least you can walk out with is a c.
In three sentences harris-stowe state university is affordable, accessible, and diverse. they truly stand by their motto. my experience has been a great one with great academic support and a fun college experience.
