Kennesaw State University was what I would call an above average school, not particularly famous outside of its business schools but still had everything I wanted. It had a supportive campus community where I always felt I had someone to turn to. The professors were mixed, but got the job done. It was clean and kept up, with modern looking buildings and I never felt like I was going to somewhere that was on the lower end of colleges. I enjoyed the food court and the buildings were pretty close together,... Read More which was convenient. I don't have any particular reason to not recommend it outside of expenses, but that's true for every college.

Kennesaw State University played a defining role in shaping both my personal growth and professional direction. During my time at Kennesaw State University, I gained not just technical knowledge but also the discipline, confidence, and problem solving mindset needed to succeed in engineering. The program challenged me to think critically, work collaboratively, and apply theory to real world situations, which significantly sharpened my career readiness.
One of the most impactful aspects of my experience... Read More was the hands on projects. A standout project I worked on was a MATLAB simulation of distributed transmit beamforming. In this project, I developed a simulation framework that modeled communication between a drone receiver and a cluster of IoT devices using one bit feedback for synchronization. This experience pushed me to deeply understand signal alignment, system performance, and wireless communication principles. It also strengthened my skills in MATLAB, system modeling, and analytical thinking, all of which are essential in modern electrical engineering roles.
Beyond technical skills, Kennesaw State helped me grow in leadership and teamwork. As a project manager intern on campus, I collaborated with cross functional teams, developed technical documentation, and ensured projects met deadlines. These experiences improved my communication skills and taught me how to manage responsibilities effectively in a professional environment
Overall, Kennesaw State University refined my technical expertise, enhanced my ability to solve complex problems, and prepared me to transition confidently into the engineering industry. It transformed me into a more focused, capable, and career driven individual.

I struggled hard to get into Cole's college. Once in I thought my life would start getting better in terms of figuring out how I was going to survive after graduating but it was a horrible state of affairs. The career services did nothing to help me with getting a job (or even an internship throughout all 4 years of school) other than giving me the basic resume advice. They treat you like a number more than an actual person that wants a career and 7 months after graduating I have yet to land ANY... Read More decent job or internship. This school was not worth ANY of the stress, sleepless nights, and debt that I had to undergo and I can say that at this point I would have been better off in a tech/trade school.

The Computer science department at KSU is awful. They have GTAs teaching courses but legally can't list them as the instructor so you have some mystery professor that is never involved with your class. You're taught by GTAs that are rarely understandable and less than helpful when you run into issues. How they expect students with their own course work to be able to be dedicated to an entire class is beyond me. I've had GTAs before but they are literally that... teaching ASSISTANTS. Not the main... Read More point of contact. How we pay good money to be taught by students that are unproven at being able to teach at all is highway robbery. ONLY ADVICE: CHOOSE ANOTHER SCHOOL FOR COMPUTER SCIENCE!!!

To offer a counterpoint to the 2 reviews here about a poor application/enrollment experience, I applied online and had multiple transcripts sent to (and received by) KSU with no problem, and I was able to track everything easily through KSU's online "Application Status Check" tool in what they call "OWL Express." So far everything about: getting my new-student requirements completed; seeing how my transfer credits were applied; registering for my first semester of classes; meeting with an academic... Read More advisor; doing orientation; seeing what I owe this semester and paying it -- all of which I've done 100% online from out of state -- has been pretty clear and problem-free. Not perfect but fine.

This is not a good school. They are more worried about farming new students than they are about helping them finish their degree programs or find jobs using said education. I recently graduated, but this school does nothing to really help students before or after graduation with finding a career. They just have a partnership with handshake that lists jobs you would see anyway if you were looking at online job listings. The handshake program is not useful or helpful and it is filled with spam and... Read More severely lacking when it comes to any real job opportunities. The instructors are okay, but I regret moving back to this state just to finish my degree at this school. I should have taken my GI Bill to a better school. KSU is the largest employer in Cobb County and that's all the school really cares about.

If you are looking at this University to complete an online course of study; I highly recommend you DO NOT register. I TRIED registering online, NEVER went to class did not have confirmation from KSU that I was even enrolled to start class and they charged me $2,000 and now it is on my credit report. I NEVER even got started in their course. LEASE BE CAREFUL when enrolling, make sure you are excepted, they charge you anyway!!! VERY disappointed in the lack of professionalism, and integrity in this... Read More University. Kim Layton

The Kennesaw State University School of Music is a wonderful place to study music. Not only are the professors 100% invested in your sucess, but are also some of the best performers in the United States and abroad. The student body is also caring and are willing to help you, should you need any assistance. The facilities used, such as the practice rooms are state of the art and are soundproof and the school is an all Steinway and Sons school, and is recgonised by the national associations of schools... Read More of music as being a premier school. Student life is also one of the best in the state of Georgia and being close to the city of Atlanta will offer its students acess to venues such as the Atlanta Opera, and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. Attending this school is worth both your time, and your money.

Kennesaw is a theory school, nothing more. They'll teach you all about the things you'd need to know to help write your professor's research article, but that's as far as they're concerned. They put more emphasis on research papers and standardized tests than practical training in any capacity. Their policies for enrollment and graduation are convoluted to the point of hilarity, until they block you from graduating because you didn't properly fill out a form. The campus is also huge, and parking... Read More is a nightmare. There are never enough spots, and parking is ridiculously expensive for how poorly managed it is. They're increasingly blatant about their greed, and push students to buy expensive meal plans and "specialized" books for courses that are of course written by their professors. The professors are either polite but distant, power-obsessed megalomaniacs, vain bullies obsessed with the smell of their own flatulence. All in all, it's a fine way to waste half a decade.

I found the classes that were required to be interesting and stimulating. Unlike the traditional student, I worked forty hours a week and took the maximum credit hours available so I did not have time for extracurriculars outside of class so I cannot give an opinion on what is offered to the students over at Kennesaw State. Overall my majority of my professors were supportive and some provided my letters of recommendation to get into a Grad program. Classes are larger but seats do fill up rather... Read More quickly so make sure you have your advising in advance to know what pathway is the most necessary.

Kennesaw State was an excellent school with great facilities. The class sizes were a lot smaller than those of the bigger state schools, so I really felt like my voice was heard by professors. I studied exercise science and we had some of the newest technology across the country. Also our teachers were really dedicated to finding the newest and most accurate information for the students. They attended a big exercise science conference every year to get the newest info and even encouraged students... Read More to come with them.
