My experience at Columbus State University has been very interesting. When I transferred to this university I thought it was going to be very boring, but it turned out to be better than I expected. Since being admitted into the Honor's Program I have been very active, in and out of campus. I have had the opportunity to work as a lab assistant and do my own research project. It has helped me gain experience and knowledge. I've done so much in such short amount of time. Anything is possible if you show interest and initiative. All professors that I have come in contact with, will help you anytime and are willing to do so. They love when students get involved and show interest in class. It's a small university but it works and is student friendly.

I loved the school, it is very interactive, and the students were all polite. The faculty and staff were phenomenal! All of my questions had answers including my question over whether CSU had Quidditch or not! I had a very lovely time and I am so excited to be a participant in CSU!!
