Southern University A&M College is considered one of the most recommended HBCUs due to what the college has to offer. There are many opportunities as well as relatively affordable college tuition and fees compared to other universities.
Sadly, what people see on the outside is exceptional, the reality is that Southern University is one of the most non-hospitalible colleges any student would ever have to experience. In other words, their system of staff is some of the worst I have ever dealt with.
To begin with, there are so many teachers on campus that are not qualified to teach. This is mostly in reference to the fact that some teachers usually get the job due to the connections they have. On one hand, it’s great that black people have their own systems of corruption that can benefit other black people, but as the quality of instructors drop, I feel like real questions have to be asked about who will allow some of these people to teach the next generation.
It’s ridiculous because some of these teachers are either rude, lack teaching abilities, or just abuse their power due to their position. An example of this is my History Teacher in my very first semester of college. His class was online, so we went on zoom, and while he was nice, he lacked the teaching abilities and the way he talked made it seemed as if he was hired because of someone he knew on campus and not any real skill he has in teaching the subject.
But the teachers are just the beginning, because the administrator team is much worse. A lot of them are so rude or just don’t know how to do their job. It’s frustrating to always try and handle business when every time there is a huge line of students because of workers not knowing how to do their job.
For example, I lost my white key to the building, so I had to pay for it in the registrar office. They then told me to head to the housing office in the back to get the key, only to say they didn’t have it and asked for my receipt. I didn’t even get a receipt.
So, then they told me to head to my dorm and meet with the RA. Guess what, he was not there. Eventually, the RA was there the next day and he told me to wait until they had a new card. It took a whole week just to get a new card. These adults don’t know what they are doing, and it shows in the inefficiency around different parts of campus.
Also, some of these administrators are rude. Some of the Cafeteria workers have a nasty attitude which is not welcoming by just speaking in an aggressive manner. Overall, I find that the administrative team and the teachers on campus just don’t provide everything that the students need, causing us students to have a somewhat harmful college experience compared to what could be.
