Categories Comments Tips for prospective students Research the programs, majors, and activities before coming here. Make sure that you want to be in such a small environment.
Am enjoying being here This is campus is pretty small so everyone knows everyone. I come from an area where there are so many more people so I do not enjoy being here when it comes to socially pleasing myself.
Am learning a lot As far as the courses here, depending on your professor, you will have a very intellectually challenging task at hand.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students Although it is a HBCU Livingstone is a great school for all types of students.
Tips for prospective students College is what you make it and Livingstone is no different. You have to come in with a positive attitude and know that everything you do will help you in the long run.
Bang for the buck Tuition is about $22050.00 but books are included and the food isn't that bad either.
Am enjoying being here I love being on campus; but there is not that much to do out in the town. the campus is small so the class room sizes are pretty good at < 20 to 1.
Am learning a lot Not only educationally but attending Livingstone College has taught me a lot about college and life in general.

Categories Comments Campus Safety What this school consider safe is driving around the campus at 10 mph and doing absolutely nothing. They only arrive if things get too out of hand which is not safe.
Greek Life The best of the greeks is the Kappa and the Alpha... they have the most parties and are very involved. The coolest of the greeks are the sigmas. They are sweethearts and very funny. The girl sorority arent as active as the boys nor so you see them very often.
Clubs and Activities There modeling teams on the yard, chess team, and many more to stay active.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The garden of hope and poets is very relaxing. Its a nice place to catch up on some studying and homework.
Bang for the buck Well we only pay 22500 for the academic year which is high in price but not so bad for a private institution.
What to do for fun Join alot of different groups because most organizations travel and have different shows. You need a car to get to many of the places but if you have one, you'll nbe fine
Food and Dining As of this semester, the food has been great now that the cafeteria is under new management.
Dorm Life Girls dorms are beautiful but the bathrooms are a little nasty. Boys dorms are a bit rough and tend to have numerous robberies.
Academic Rigor Ive had harder classes in high school. What you learn all depends on who your professor is.
Tips for prospective students Make sure you bring toilet tissue because it isnt provided. There has been many robbery in the boys dorm so make sure you come with a lock. Watch what you say on campuse because word spread fast around the campus even if it isnt true.
In three sentences livingstone is a nice small campus. The president of the school is very involved in everything the students do. Life at the stone is what you make it. IT can be your best or worse experience ever.

Food and Dining the food is pretty good. its the hours that the cafeteria are opened and closed for that is the problem.

Categories Comments Campus Safety The school does have multiple security gates on campus. Plus, outsiders aren't allowed to come on campus after a certain time for the safety of students. Last, the campus security does security drive bias and checks after hours around campus.
Greek Life I'm not exactly familiar with the Greek life yet.
Clubs and Activities They're multiple clubs and activities on campus.
Great for these types of students This is a great school for students who came out of high school with below acceptable grades. This school is also great for students who would like to play sports on the collegiate level but couldn't because they're grades were low in high school. Plus, this school is great for students who want the HBCU experience.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus There aren't really any unusual traditions or campus locations.
What to do for fun Fraternities and Sonorities throw parties through out the week. There's a club just 10 mins driving distance away that throws parties every week end. Plus, Charlotte is just 35 mins to 45 mins away.
Food and Dining Livingstone just upgraded the cafeteria last spring semester to a new and improved cafe. The cafe offers pizza, deli sandwiches, Chinese food, various deserts, as well as various delicious main course. If that's not good enough, there's a sonic and Italy cafe less than five minutes in walking distance. Also, dominoes delivers to the campus.
Dorm Life The college has 3 girls dormitories 2 boys dormitories and 1 coed dormitory. The one co-ed dormitory is for students who have an or above an 3.0 GPA. Although every dormitory isn't in excellent condition, they're in manageable living conditions.
Academic Rigor Livingstone College has a program, the bridge program where the college offers a number of students who have under an 2.0 GPA coming out of high school an opportunity to make up for the low GPA. Even though the required GPA is 2.0; Livingstone is willing to work with students who have lower than an 2.0. To sum up, Livingstone is a college that doesn't judge a student based on they're low GPA in high school.
Tips for prospective students Don't judge the college by the way certain buildings look; it's an small private college. Also, don't focus on the negative, focus more on the positive. Last, keep a uplifting attitude, study, and ask questions if you don't understand something.
In three sentences Livingstone College is a great HBCU for students who were underachievers in high school. Livingstone also is a great college to play boys/girls basketball for. Last, Livingstone College will give you an great college experience.

Clubs and Activities They are pretty good. The fraternities and sororities are the most involve with the activities on campus
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The store near the Honors Dorms and Sonic Resturant
Bang for the buck Nothing really bt always spend your money wisely
What to do for fun Well besides the parties on Thursdays that they plan for the college at the club there isnt much to do on campus unless you go off campus
Food and Dining The cafe at Livingstone College is pretty good but at times they do slack off. I wish we had more food resturants near the campus just in case we get hungry.
Dorm Life I say one of the best female dorms at Livingstone College called Goler Hall. The only thing i can say about the dorm there are always drama but other than that the rooms are nice.
Academic Rigor The academics is the best part of the school. The professors at Livingstone mostly help you during and after class. They have business hours so i give it dha opportunity to use it
Tips for prospective students If you trying to enroll to Livingstone College have your information ready and dont let them get your parents information messed up. Also dont let them mess up your FASFA form.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students On the campus, there are many things to do. We constantly plan activities that everyone on campus can participate in. Nobody will be left out and everyone enjoys themselves.
Tips for prospective students If you choose to attend Livingstone College, you will need to be level-headed. The faculty and staff will welcome you with open arms but will mold you into an individual that will become successful once you graduate.
Bang for the buck Livingstone College has one of the cheapest tuitions. This makes it affordable for students all over to come an get an education.
Am enjoying being here The students are what make the campus. This small campus enables everyone to know someone. The students are close so therefore there is a family type setting.
Am learning a lot The professors have rigorous lessons that are taught on a daily basis. Each course is designed to challenge students and perpares them for life post college.

Categories Comments Greek Life We have Greek life here. They are not as noticeable as they are at other schools but because this is a small school you know who they are. Some of the fraternities and sororities are active on campus to have events for students to have fun.
Clubs and Activities There are few clubs and activities to get involved in but you have to ask about them. You have to ask around to see if there is something that fits your style of interest.
What to do for fun Hang out, attend sport events, play cards, go to concord mall in Concord, NC, or go to Charlotte, NC and find fun in the city.
Food and Dining The food is pretty good. The food can be repetitive and inconsistent at times. We do have a decent variety of food you can choose from.
Dorm Life There are a couple of dorms that are pretty nice and comfortable. Most need to refurbished.
Academic Rigor I would give the academic rigor here at Livingstone College as a whole between 3.5 to 4 stars. Depending on what field of study you get into, some professors hold very high standards to their students and expect high grades nothing less which makes the academic rigor close to 5 stars. Especially if you plan on being in the Criminal Justice and Sociology Department.
Tips for prospective students At Livingstone College, it is structured mostly to be a total learning environment. If other college and universities did not accept you because of low GPA in H.S or you did not have the funds, Livingstone will accept you but once you get here, during the course of your enrollment, you will have to find loans, scholarships, and grants to help deduct the debt you owe the college. Enrollment a year is close to 1,100 students so everybody will eventually know everybody or at least be acquainted.
In three sentences Livingstone College is a non party environment. Definitely a school where there is more than enough time to be studious and be on top of school work. If you can make it through all four or five years at Livingstone College, you can make it anywhere.

Categories Comments What to do for fun honestly, there's not much to do. you would have a lot or organizations and get involved to never be bored.
Food and Dining the food is alright. we have breakfast, lunch, and dinner at certain times. Once the caf���© closes from dinner, I hope you have plenty of food in your room or have money to go to near by restaurants
Dorm Life I stay in honors dorms and I happen to love it. I have a room to myself and I share a bathroom with one other person
Academic Rigor the classes are not hard and teachers are willing to work with you. all you have to do is come to class and teachers are willing to give an extra few points just because you came to class.
Tips for prospective students get involved on campus. make friends, get to know the faculty and staff. You'll never know who will throw you money for school by just getting to know people
In three sentences Livingstone is ok. its a pretty small classes, so its not a lot of walking. everyone basically knows everyone.

In three sentences The school overall I would give a C- or D+ do to the fact or no transportation, location, and the food we are served. Livingstone could do a lot better then what is being done. I often ask myself where does my 23,000 go its not in the dorms nor class but to the personal.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Several officers are on duty and their is a security office upon entering the campus where you must show ID or Driver's License when picking up a student or being the student itself ID must be shown.
Greek Life Several Sororities and Fraternities to join from if that's what your choose to do. They put on several shows and also have celebrities come in and do shows for the school as well.
Clubs and Activities There's always something coming on; on campus and either there games home or away. If you should choose you can decide to leave campus for other activities off campus as well.
What to do for fun The College has a recreation center and they have alot of activities going on like several sports throughout the year. Students are able to travel on several buses to away games and also a transportation bus that takes sutdents around Salisbury to going shopping eatting, etc.
Food and Dining Great Cafe life. We have a wide variety of food daily and a wide spread of good home cooked meals. They prepare three meals a day and that is included with the cost of tuition so that no one is without food during the semester. We only have snacks in our dorms, should we get hungry between classes.
Dorm Life Having a great roommate is the best part is making it easy transitioning from home to dorm life. I am thankful that not only I have a great roommate but we now a brother bond that we have each others back. Its hard adjusting to leaving home but a friendship makes the move even better.
Academic Rigor Always stay ahead of the game. Do work on time without putting it off. Continue to do your work and always be in class. Attendance is a major part of you knowing your class work and what your grade outcome will be.
Tips for prospective students Outline your career path and see if Livingstone College has what you are majoring in. Look online for tuition, distance and living area or location. Seek other Livingstone students and see what their experiences are and their majors. Take a campus tour and talk with trained staff of what you would like your overall college experience wants to be.
In three sentences The faulty and staff at Livingstone are caring and encouraging to new incoming freshmen students. There is always someone not far should you not understand your class, financial aid, etc. The school always offer activities for the students that stay on campus and all games are free admission for students.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Livingstone has security on campus so I do feel comfortable and safe. I know that I can call on them at anytime and I will get a quick response.
Greek Life Livingstone has a number of sororities on campus. You do have to meet specific requirements in order to join but they at very prevalent on campus.
Clubs and Activities There are a number of clubs on campus. I love to attend the sporting events on campus and have traveled with the teams to other colleges. I love our school spirit.
What to do for fun Although Livingstone is located in a rural area, there are restaurants, malls and theaters that you can go to for fun. Livingstone does offer a shuttle service so if you plan ahead you can go off campus and enjoy some of the local stores. We do have movie night and various events on campus for entertainment,
Food and Dining The meals at Livingstone are included in the tuition cost but the variety of the meals served needs to be vastly improved. As an adult, I would like to have healthy meals, salads, smoothies, etc. The lines are always long so most of the time I order carry out. I would like to see a food court like they have on other campuses.
Dorm Life As a freshman, I currently stay on campus and it has been a frustrating experience. I have reported a number of issues to my Resident Assistant and they are not addressed in a timely manner. For instance, one out of of three toilets and showers sometime work at any given time. As a result, I had to change my schedule so I'm not late for class due to the traffic jam in the bathroom. We are constantly threatened that we will be fined if we don't keep the bathrooms clean. For all the money that we pay to this institution, we should not be responsible for cleaning the restrooms at any time.
Academic Rigor Livingstone offers scholarships for freshman students which was a big financial help for me. I love that I'm taking all of my classes with a specific group of students. We hold study groups together since we all take the same classes and I love the student services center. The professors are great but it's frustrating when you can't get the books you need for a class because the book store has run out.
Tips for prospective students The Admission Staff at Livingstone is awesome. They are very pleasant, professional and guided me step by step on the enrollment process to make my admission a smooth transition. If you are entering Livingstone in the Fall of 2014, I do recommend that you attend the first orientation session in June. This will give you the opportunity to get all of your paperwork in on time, see the campus, and get all of your financial and housing needs addressed before the masses arrive in August. Most people wait until the last session and it can be very chaotic because you are competing with hundreds of other students.
In three sentences I am a freshman at Livingstone and I'm very pleased with the overall experience thus far. I love the small campus life, the faculty is very professional and supportive and I've made a lot of friends. I would give Livingstone a 3 out of 5 stars.

Categories Comments Campus Safety it's pretty safe. security is on campus all the time and they don't allow just anyone on the campus without an ID from the school.
