There are some excellent professors here who are experts in their field. The difference between KSU and some other large universities is that most of the professors here truly do love to teach and it is evident in their classes. In some of the general education courses the class sizes can be as large as 200, but in most classes there will be about 35 students, which means you'll get one-on-one time with your professors. Some notable professors here have included Congressman/presidential candidate Bob Barr and Georgia radio legend Rhubarb Jones.

KSU is rapidly growing and constantly changing - it's an exciting time to be an Owl! The dining hall, The Commons, was added in fall 2009 and a new soccer stadium (where the Atlanta Beat soccer team plays) opened in May 2010. A football team is expected in 2014. The dorms are great because you get your own bedroom regardless of which of the four communities you live in.
Bang for the buck
Living on campus will likely be more expensive than getting an apartment or renting a room in a house, but otherwise, KSU is a good deal, especially if you are a HOPE scholar. The fees are comparable to other schools in the University System of Georgia.
Tips for prospective students
The best tip is to get involved! College is what you make it, and KSU has several opportunities, including an active Greek life, a variety of performance groups (a storytelling troupe, an improv society, multiple plays), and an excellent student media program (The Sentinel newspaper, Owl Radio, Share Art & Literary Magazine, Talon Magazine, New Media Group). I also recommend taking advantage of the free group exercise classes offered in the Wellness Center.
Great for these types of students
KSU is a great school for anyone, but the Coles College of Business is especially revered, as is the Wellstar School of Nursing (which has a brand new building).

All my professors have different approaches, so the learning styles are very diverse. They all want their students to be successful and move forward, you just have to make an effort on your part. There are many different courses and each teaches valuable information. The courses are not a waste of time or money from what I have experienced so far. There is a lot of reading, but the books chosen are timeless.

Since I am a freshman, I am still getting use to making all new friends and associating with many different people. It is like being the new kid in school, but to aid with this change there are many social events on campus. The professors and students seem nice and helpful. The campus is gorgeous (check out The Green)! My first experience living in a dorm is great! The housing is new and spacious. Also all my classes are pretty close to each other. so no cross country walks to class.
Bang for the buck
The beautiful campus, the updated classrooms, and the new housing speak for themselves.
Tips for prospective students
Come ready to work hard and get involved. This will make the time spent here successful and worthwhile.

If you are a dedicated student and a social butterfly, this is the school for you. Or a person that is shy, but open minded and ready to try new things then this could also be the place for you. College is about finding oneself, doing new things, and meeting new people. KSU does not stray from that path.

The classes are just the perfect amount of challenging and if you get a little lost, ask your teacher. The teachers here want to help and want you to succeed just as much as you do.
Am enjoying being here
The campus is beautiful, the students are very friendly, the teachers and staff are very helpful. This school is a great choice for anyone. We are even getting a football team soon. This school has practically all the attributes of the large colleges but the campus is still small which is perfect!
Bang for the buck
The dorms here are amazing compared to many of the other colleges that I have seen. You get in free to any sporting event that is held at home. The campus is absolutely beautiful and the maintenance crew does an awesome job at keeping everything clean and safe.
Tips for prospective students
One major tip is to get involved! Join a club, do a sport, something, anything! This is one great way to make connections as well as friends.

It's great for anyone really. Kennesaw is for the introvert and extrovert, for the class clown and the the top of the class. If go here I promise you won't be disappointed.
