The University has a great campus and is very secure. All staff members of Shaw University are very friendly and are always willing to help if needed.
Tips for prospective students
If your a friendly person and like making new friends this HBCU is for you. Come prepared to learn because there are many different things being taught.
Academic Rigor
Class sizes aren't that large so that each student can be attended to if help is needed or required.
Dorm Life
There are Residence Assistants on every floor if there are any questions. Make sure you bring everything you need to carry on your day. Don't forget anything coming into the dorms you always wanna be prepared.
Food and Dining
The food is good. There is also a McDonald's right there near the campus if you chose not to eat the campus food.
What to do for fun
There is so much to do around the campus such as going walking around downtown Raleigh or playing basketball on the outside court.
Bang for the buck
This college may be a little bit costly but it is worth it.
Campus Safety
There is always campus police walking around to keep everyone around in check.
