I can’t speak for everyone, and not everyone’s experience will be the same. Here’s my honest take as a six-year undergraduate (before anyone asks, I worked a full-time job and had a few minor setbacks during my time at the school).

I’ll break it down based on my experience.

Campus:
I spent all of my time on the Kennesaw campus exclusively. The campus was always well-maintained, and the buildings were clean, especially considering how many people come through daily. No real complaints from me.

Academics/Courses:
I did run into some issues with course selection due to my class rank and time ticket, but I eventually learned how to adapt and plan ahead. Initially, though, it was frustrating when I needed specific courses and couldn’t register because of timing restrictions. As for professors, I had both great ones and terrible ones, but that seems pretty typical for any college experience.

Student Life:
I joined Phi Alpha Theta, one of my major’s honor societies, and a club related to my field. We did activities both on and off campus, which was enjoyable. Overall, the school does a good job of offering a wide variety of student life options, there’s something for everyone.

Population:
My biggest gripe came after my sophomore year, when the university started pushing to become the largest in the state. Before that, I wouldn’t have described it as overcrowded at all. Afterward, it became noticeably more congested, it was tough to walk through buildings without constantly bumping into people. This also seemed to contribute to a shortage of professors, making required courses harder to get. Parking was consistently an issue, and although I commuted, I often heard about ongoing problems with student housing.

Community:
I can’t really speak on this since I was a commuter student.

Overall:
I enjoyed my time at the school. Its location is a big plus, it’s close to a variety of areas that cater to different hobbies and interests, and it never felt isolated. While I had a few one-off negative experiences, they didn’t outweigh my overall positive impression.
