Clark Atlanta University Reviews
Rating 3.53 out of 5 2,120 reviews
My experience at Clark Atlanta University has been nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I stepped onto the campus, I was amazed by its inviting atmosphere and the warmth of both the staff and fellow students. The culture seamlessly fosters a sense of belonging, while the city of Atlanta has enriched my academic journey in ways I couldn't have imagined. Achieving the Dean’s list during my tenure has been a testament to the supportive learning environment and the dedication of the faculty. Reflecting on my experience, I wouldn't change a single aspect of the campus. Clark Atlanta University truly embodies excellence in education and community, and I am proud to be a part of it.
I enjoy the adversity here, a lot of people are black, but they come from all over the place with different stories. I admire the way that administrators care about their students, they make students feel safe and heard. They consider our feelings while holding us to that great standard we should've been held to our whole lives. They know we endure hardships here daily either mentally, emotionally, or physically and they make sure to reassure that struggles come but they never stay, we must keep moving forward. I enjoy the many groups and organizations for everyone to fit in as well, highlighting skills that either one or many could possess. They make sure we are taken care of because this is in fact a private institution so maintaining wellness upon everyone especially students keeps the environment safe.
At Clark Atlanta, every day feels like an adventure waiting to unfold. From spontaneous dance battles on the quad to impromptu study sessions turning into deep conversations with newfound friends, the campus is alive with energy and possibility. Whether we're cheering on the Panthers at a basketball game or exploring the vibrant streets of Atlanta, there's never a dull moment. With laughter echoing through the halls and memories being made around every corner, Clark Atlanta isn't just a school—it's a home where fun and friendship flourish. Love my HBCU!!
