Worst. Do not go here. They will charge you for nothing and then not tell you about it until it's almost too late to pay, classes are difficult to get into, the food is horrible, there's not enough parking, and they are only adequate at best at handling military students. Your money is better spent elsewhere.
I love my school. No regrets, glad I chose Columbus State.
This place nickels and dimes you to death. Why am I paying to repay the school loan for the parking deck and then being charged again for a parking placard? The majority of my tuition is for stuff that has nothing to do with my education. The school would rather spend hundreds of dollars on fancy trashcans rather then hiring exceptional staff. The outside of the university looks good, but you step inside and it looks and smells like it's straight out of the 1960's.
I returned to CSU in Spring 2017 to pursue a second degree in Criminal Justice. I graduated in 1972 with a BA in English Language and Literature. I love being back on campus after 45 years. My professors have been awesome, and I am looking forward to Fall semester!
CSU has been full of great opportunities that I have had the chance to take a part in and I've only been here a year so far! The campus only continues to grow and improve and all of the faculty and staff have been more than willing to help me get to where I need to be. Just like any school, as long as you stay on top of your work, it'll have some of the best times of your life! Can't wait for next year!
Great local University! The school has really grown.
I am going to make a beautiful comeback to CSU this summer or fall of 2017 and no later than by transferring from another school that's preparing me to do better by pulling up those bad grades from those courses I took at CSU I lacked effort on!! This school is so awesome with caring professors that I am going to give them a BIG benefit of a doubt!! Yes I let my guard down at CSU and yes I take full ownership of my actions for not turning in assignments! But if I want to succeed at CSU or any other school, then I need to get my mind straight and be more serious minded! And I am letting my actions do the talking and the convincing!

The staff is allowed to pretty much do as they please to anyone and everyone, regardless if you take any issues through "Proper Channels."
The Department Chairs pretty much default towards the professors at all times. Funny how someone who's best interest is to make sure his or her department is in order and under control- is tasked to investigate themselves, so the quintessential result is them sweeping anything and everything "Under the Rug" to not look bad. Funny.
Do not come here for Computer Science. If you are looking for a place to prepare you in the future try a different school. Research the professors, and use rate my professor on the department 2.0 is usually the average on their ratings.
The run around is common. Expectations start high and drop very low at this school.
