Hello, could you please elaborate on the funding? What is the name of the grant? When I attended several years ago, I didn't get enough money offered to continue without loans or working. And my GPA was around a 3.3. BSU gave me a small scholarship for my good GPA but it far from covered the bill. Maybe they are offering more nowadays…? |

I did the speech-pathology program, just undergrad. It's a decent program, as well as some others. Some of their programs are a joke however, like many of the art-related ones. The university itself is built on a pretty student-friendly system. For instance, student fees at the beginning of the semester mean free access to the fitness center, student health, lots of printing at the library, shows in the auditorium, along with some other perks, throughout the semester. Also, great accessibility-the library is literally open 20 hours a day.
I personally had a very difficult time making friends simply because I was not interested in finding any excuse (ie-a tough test, Rush week, MLKJ Day) to get drunk. I honestly cannot count the number of times I saw multiple people hung-over and/or still drunk in class. It's definitely a place to go if you want to see spoiled kids go to college and not care about their opportunities. Tuition's cheap though! State funding covered my tuition, fees, and books, and I still had money left over.
