Winston-Salem State University is one of the best historically black universities in North Carolina! I attended Winston-Salem State University 2011-2015 and received a degree in Birth-Kindergarten Education. Although I had just turned eighteen when I began my undergrad experience and was hours away from my family, State managed to provide a nurturing environment. Freshmen, traditional and non-traditional, moved in and attended sessions a week before upper level students returned back to school. This allowed... Read More freshmen to begin their first year minimizing factors of being overwhelmed. During these sessions we were provided mentors, the best of the best upperclassman to help acclimate us to campus. These mentors are called Legacy Leaders. Legacy Leaders has been a tradition at WSSU for many years and continues. Mentors, along with professors and other leaders taught us history of the school, gave tours, talked to us about real life situations, and signed us up for classes. One of the best things that many student love is the support from advisors and other faculty. They want to see their students succeed in all aspects of life. The campus is the perfect size, not too big and not too small and is continuing to grow. There are a plethora of undergrad as well as graduate programs. The nursing program is one of the top in the state. The food is warm food and they have a great selection as well as tasty traditions, Chicken Wednesday and Fried Fish Friday!
