try to go to all your classes and get to know the professors because they can really help you out if you're having trouble.

its a great environment.. i felt like i was in another family when i came here for school.

there is a lot to do on campus and in atlanta in general. being involved and taking advantage of the resources available are the best things you can do.

Clark Atlanta University has provided me with the tools I need in order to matriculate gracefully throughout my college career and my life. Academically, CAU has a staff and faculty team that is concerned and dedicated to my success. I have a respectful relationship with my professors which allows me to get the help I need when struggling or just need someone to talk to which has lead to my academic success. CAU has also broadened me culturally due to its HBCU background.

Campus life is always exciting and educational! From the fraternity and sorority involvement on campus to the volunteer opportunities and fundraisers, CAU definitely exceeds expectations.

With the dedication of the faculty and staff, I have definitely gotten the full worth of of my tuition here at CAU. There are also plenty of on campus activities as well as clubs and team-associated programs to be involved in.

CAU is definitely one of the best...but, because we are located in the heart of a big and exciting city, my advice to prospective students would be to stay focused; remember that you are here for growth and educational purposes. Practice time management; it's normal to have a social life but make sure that you balance that time. Be true to yourself; being realistic and setting achievable goals before coming to school outlines your academic year and has already put into practice a form of time management.

CAU is great for the go-getter kind of student.One of CAU's motto's is Find a way or make one which describes the kind of student that will work to achieve their goals and do what it takes to fulfill their dreams by any means necessary all while making a way for future students just as what was done for them. The HBCU background does not, in any way, discriminate against other ethnicity. We are a school that is dedicated to the success of the future generation, race and ethnicity aside.

Become very involved in the classroom environment. You will learn so much just by engaging in conversation with your professors and fellow classmates about the readings assigned and the issues going on in the community. You also will learn a lot of information about Black History that was not taught in previous schooling. Get to know your professors and always try to stand out in the classroom.

Join a club, sports team, and or fraternity. By doing so you can form brotherly and sisterly bonds that can never be broken. It is also a way to keep yourself occupied and on track. It is also a good way to learn about the city and fun places to go from the upperclassmen who have experience.

This institution is very expensive and sometimes you might find yourself questioning is the school even worth it. However if you use all resources available to you, you will truly find yourself getting the bang for the buck.

Always put school first make it your number one priority. It is so easy to get caught up in the party life make sure you limit yourself because if you don't you will find yourself falling behind. Get involved you will learn so much and meet so many great people. Most importantly spend your money wisely!

Students who work hard and are strong that have drive, determination, and are willing and ready for a roller coaster ride.

The staff at Clark Atlanta University is more than willing to help student exceed to the next level. I am a freshman and my teacher know me and everyone else in class. They give you that special one on one if you need it.

Atlanta is a great place to go to school and the school is involved well in the community there is a lot to do and it never boring. You can meet people in the AUC the (Atlanta University Center) which also includes Spelman and Morehouse

I would have to that you get what you pay for, the school is great and a lot of great things can happen if you apply yourself.

If you are thinking about Clark Atlanta University I think you should of course see if the distance is something you can handle. A lot of student come from out of state and can't get back and forth home. You should also think about how big of a city Atlanta is and if you can handle being away.

Any African American student who wants to attend an HBCU and likes the fact that it is very small. Also if you want to get a lot of internships and things of that sort

Clark Atlanta University is a great HBCU to attend for a plentiful of reasons. I would describe the atmosphere on campus as being scholarly, united and fun. The tuition may be steep but CAU is a private college and students receive the knowledge that they pay for.

If students are considering an out-of-state college be cautious in the decision because being far away from home and far from family can take a toll on some students. It is natural to be home sick and if that happens there is a counseling service on campus so students can have a safe and confidential place that they are able to go to. Also, go to a school that offers great classes for your specific major.

The academic rigor at Clark Atlanta University is tough but well worth it! The professors are great to learn from and will give the students a challenge that will be beneficial to which ever career they may choose.

I like the upperclassmen dorms because it comes equipped with a full kitchen, nice living room space and a decent size room. The freshman dorm I did not like as much because there was not a kitchen provided and visitation was very strict.

The food and dining on campus is great but what is even better is being in the same vicinity as two other colleges which provides various dining places as well. The options are plentiful on-campus and off-campus.

There is plenty to do on campus, with various organizations hosting campus get togethers there will never be a dull day on campus. Since Clark Atlanta University is in the heart of Atlanta, there is plenty of fun things to do off-campus as well, like going to football/basketball games (which is down the street from the campus), going to the Georgia Aquarium, or touring the Coca-Cola factory... there will always be something to do!

Greek Life is great on campus there is always a probate to attend throughout the semester! If you are interested in joining a fraternity or sorority Clark Atlanta University is a great place for you!

Campus safety is still improving but overall keeps the student body as safe as they can!

My first semester at Clark was great. The Mass Media Program offers very good exposure to the field. The first week I attended a seminar with Spike Lee. I also got the opportunity to work in the television studio as a freshman.

In preparation to attend Clark make sure you build up your savings account. You need to have cash for unexpected expenses.

The academics are on point. The professors offer a lot of support. As a student you need to be focused and keep your social activities in perspective.

I live in CAU Suites. It is very spacious. Me and my roommate are not on top of each other. It is modern and in a good proximity to everything on campus.

The food is good. It has a southern flare. They offer a lot of choices.

There is a lot to do in Atlanta. There are clubs, sporting events, malls and a lot of dining options. You can also meet people from the other colleges and attend their functions.

THE PRICE TO ATTEND THIS UNIVERSITY IS DEFINITELY WORTH THE PRICE. ATLANTA IS A GREAT CITY, PLUS YOU HAVE THE A.U.C, WHICH INCLUDES CLARK ATLANTA,SPELMAN AND MOREHOUSE COLLEGE.

SAVE YOUR MONEY

Clark Atlanta University has been a new experience, but has been a great one so far. This school creates a foundation for most students, and it is up to the students to follow this structure. The family bond that the school tries to create is the best part of the school, because it makes one feel like they belong.

Being able to set priorities for yourself is the biggest thing someone needs to know before attending this insititution. Also come up with a finicial plan and start saving as much as you can, because this school is pricey. Network and become involved once you arrive. Remember that purpose of going to college is to have a career.

You have to push yourself to make the right grades.

The CAU Suites is the best housing for freshmen.

There aren't many food places surrounding the campus, but they do have a cafe. All first year students are required to get the unlimited meal plan, so the cafe is the best place to eat as a freshman.

Join Clubs and organization. PARTICIPATE

Luda Day Weekend- Is labor day weekend and the Ludacris foundation comes on campus, with guest celebrities and events for the students to enjoy to and to raise money for his cause.

Homecoming- The cornation ball is a fun event where people get dressed up and dance.

CAU Experience- Is where all incomming freshmen come together and get to know each other for a week.

Induction Ceremony- Is when women dress in all white and menn where tuxs, to start out the new beginning as students of Clark Atlanta.

Olive Branch- When the three schools from the AUC (Clark, Morehouse, Spelman) freshmen come together and have a block party. Everyone wears the same shirt, because it conveys everyone as one.

There are clubs for everyone. It is a good way to meet people, and to become more involved in the community.

Is very exciting. People look up to many of the Greeks

The public safety on campus has tightened up. They are becoming more aware of what is going on, on campus.

I am learning a lot about the black perspective in all my subjects. It has opened my mind to many more questions and thoughts that I didn't have in the past. In addition it has made me comfortable with who I am and what I want and need for my future.

I enjoy being here because I get the freedom that I always wanted. Even though I get homesick, I manage to find different activities to involve myself it so that I can enjoy being away from home. The students are nicer than what I thought they would be. The network is so incredible it makes me feel like I have a second home that I am accepted at.

-make sure that you choose the appropriate class times for you. meaning please don't pick a 9 am class when you know that you don't get up until 11am.
-make enough friends so that you have a variety of things that you can do and get involved in for community service and free time.
-make a semi schedule for your harder classes so that you will pass them. meaning make a study schedule so you will be on track.
-make sure that you take the right amount of classes each semester so that you won't be on overload and fail classes that you will have to repeat.
-get to know your professors they are always willing to help you.

If your major is business, mass media arts, social work, or science you have a great opportunity to get all the necessary tools to better your future. My major is social work and by attending at Clark i can get my BA & masters within 5 years with a 3.0 or higher once i graduate with my BA.

When they said college was hard they lied to us all. You must apply yourself. Especially since your pushing out the bucks more rapidly than there coming in. Clark Atlanta is my home away from home. I guarantee any problem your dealing with they will try to help you. Although they can not solve every problem they definitely do reinforce their motto ill find a way or make one. Here they will mold you into the young man or woman you want to be. Teachers love to help they emphasize their office hours and they certainly acknowledge effort. All of my life I've waited for the day id be really proud of something. In August 2010 I honestly got that wish fulfilled when i stepped on campus and finally became a Clark Atlanta Panther. Culture for service its not just our Motto its our life.

The food's not worth the almost 2k. but the education is surely worth every dollar

Come only if you want to make a difference beyond your community...We change the world at Clark Atlanta University

Those who enjoy a family like setting
