The major factor was that the scholarships and in-state tuition, and second was the small class sizes. KSU has a small family atmosphere and the professor to student ratio is wonderful because of the one-on-one relationships. At KSU you can be a person not a number.

I chose to come to KSU because it is an HBCU and it is one of the closet HBCU’s to my home. The campus is not that large which is great for me because I can focus more on my studies.
