“Could use a bitBrightCivil Engineering
Could use a bit more foliage, and some of the buildings do need modernization. It also could use some more color to offset that it feels semi-squished in due to its urban setting and little true room to expand outward beyond its current size.Other than that, it's a pretty nice place.

“Well I have only been here at CCSUBright
Well I have only been here at CCSU a little while but I know I have helpful feedback :-). First, I'm not the kind of girl to really get involved in school activities but that doesnt mean I just sit home and do nothing. CCSU is perfectly located. Hartford is only 20 mins away with tons of bars and clubs so you can always go out if you want. Also, there are a lot of students who live walking distance from campus (I have an apartment 5 min walking distance from my class) so just because the dorms may be empty, doesnt mean you cant walk to a house to drink. As for academics, I LOVE my accounting teacher because he really wants you learn usefull information that you will use in the real world. The same goes for my other professors except for my pre-calc one who cant speak english... But anyways, I like the teachers here at CCSU. Here is my greatest snippet of advice, DONT BE AN UNDECLARED FRESHMAN AT CCSU. If you do, you will prob get an advisor that doesnt really care. Im not sure if I really want to stay with my major (construction management) but I got an awesome advisor who promised to not give me weekend classes for my first semester. My advisor was really helpful and gave great advice. As for the students, I think a lot of them are friendly. 5 students came up to me and introduced themselves the first week which was really nice. Overall, college is what you make of it. I Like my space so living off campus works for me and my classes have 27 students at most which is a good size for me also. Hope my thoughts on CCSU helps!!

“Personality wise, the students here are pretty friendly,AverageEnglish
Personality wise, the students here are pretty friendly, and I found it fairy easy to make friends. If you live on campus, get involved with your building's activities and programs- free stuff, and it's an easy way to make friends. HOWEVER! The faculty here is a disaster. Classes are cancelled on a regular basis, sometimes without telling students in advance...have fun driving here to go straight back home commuters! Financial Aid will tell you your FASFA was never completed even if it was, professors don't show up to office hours or respond to e-mails, your social security number gets stolen, and your advisor doesn't show up to your advising appointment. In all honesty, the faculty is so unorganized it's ridiculous. High school teachers are more professional. Yes, most people do go home on the weekends, but there are usually concerts and sporting events to attend. Those who complain about having nothing to do are usually the ones who want to have a weekend they can't remember, and leave empty beer boxes/cans all over the campus on Thursday nights. People walk around Vance Hall drunk during all hours of the night, and something goes wrong in James almost once week. I believe it's the cheapest among the CSU schools, and it shows- "you get what you pay for".
