Graduating Survey - Spring 2016
39 It is only the nursing program. They have their groups they like and help. They are very disorganized and disrespectful to students except for Ms Godfrey, Ms. Broadus and Ms. Senn 4/27/2016 2:19 PM
40 BETTER COMMUNICATION BETWEEN STAFF AND STUDENTS. BETTER ORGANIZATION. 4/27/2016 2:11 PM
41 You need to fix the nursing program. You put a teacher in place to run the nursing program and he doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground in how to run this program. He is a nice guy though The teachers are older and even though they have experience I believe they need to be replaced with much younger teachers especially the lab instructor She is almost 80 years old. She does know her stuff though but it is time to retire. 4/27/2016 2:09 PM
42 The Nursing department should be under investigation for poor performance. I have made my complaints known on record, and I received no response. 4/27/2016 2:08 PM

44 My social work teachers have made this experience worthwhile (Dr. Charlos Thompson and Dr. Ulrich). I would not recommend this school to anyone because there have been threats of the school closing and I have had a lot of difficulties trying to get basic answers and paperwork back from various staff on campus. Some staff are very rude and inattentive. I almost didn't graduate on time because of so many "mix ups". 4/26/2016 3:24 PM

47 The nursing department needs an overhaul, I can see the university is trying to make improvements, there is too much leaway in the nursing department, the first year of nursing in the night program was fantastic, as those instructors were very good with students and with communication. the second year has been a nightmare 4/21/2016 2:05 PM
48 My experience with KSU has been positive overall. One of the biggest challenges has been a lack of adequate faculty to teach courses necessary for graduation requirements. Nursing professors are working hard, but the lack of resources to meet the needs of evening students has been a challenge. 4/20/2016 4:45 PM

50 Stop giving students classes that they don't need just to fill up credit hours. It will set them back in the long run and take up financial aid that could go forwards a class they actually need. 4/20/2016 12:33 PM

52 Financially it makes since to come to KSU, however if I had to do it again I wouldn't have wasted my time here. 4/19/2016 11:49 AM
53 I love this university. It has brought out some of the best and worst parts of me. I graduated highschool with a 2.2 GPA and now am walking with a 3.1. Keep the band and if possible ease up on the admissions process so in the future I can send my students here. 4/18/2016 4:43 PM
54 get more input from the students so that way they will have joy in participating in activities around campus 4/15/2016 1:32 PM
55 To allow students the opportunity to get involved in the community and seek work experience. 4/15/2016 1:19 PM
56 I love the social work department!!! 4/15/2016 10:19 AM
57 Save the liberal arts. Do not turn it into an engineering school. Treat Professors well. 4/14/2016 1:29 PM

59 KSU has a lot of growth to do. I see the wonderful improvements that President Burse is doing to make this school better! However, we still have a long way to go. From the Academic Service Building to the departments of Majors, they have to be more organized and structured. It seems as though the majority of faculty and staff do not know their jobs. Whenever I needed information, no one ever knew the answer to give me. Also, no one helped me with the requirements I needed to obtain my degree or even go to graduate school. I had to research everything on my own. I felt as though I was my own advisor! This was really stressful and disappointing 4/8/2016 3:49 PM
60 If I were to recommend another student, I would definitely warn them not to expect their financial aid anytime soon, if ever. 4/6/2016 1:48 PM
61 The program required too much BS at the end that will not help in nursing and just stressed out the students during their preceptorship 4/6/2016 12:26 PM

63 embrace more culture as well as more student driven ideas and events in order to provide an outlet for other talented students. 3/30/2016 2:25 PM

65 The Child Development program and the Department of Education need to work to be on the same page for the benefit of the students in the IECE program. There are conflicting expectations for the students who are required to take courses in both areas. No continuity and lack of communication between the departments makes for a difficult experience for the students in the program. It is very difficult to reach some offices by phone. It has been necessary to call as I do not live in Frankfort. Calling the university usually results in getting voicemails and calls are not returned. Again the costumer service aspect of the university gets a low rating from me. 3/28/2016 2:12 PM
66 I think KSU would be a better institution if they got rid of antiquated ways of doing things such as the scavenger hunt that is the signing of the senior survey. I am an online student- I am wondering around campus trying to find these offices that must sign my form. It should be online- especially for online students. I had to take the day off, drive to Frankfort, and wander around trying to find the library (which I've never used) in order to get any sheet signed. This is just one snapshot of policies that are keeping KSU behind the times. Communication needs to improve and while some staff are absolutely outstanding, there are those (even holding high positions) who should be ashamed they draw a paycheck from this school for all the disservice they do to students. There are definitely bright spots, but I'm sorry to say that on the whole, my experience at KSU has been fairly miserable. 3/25/2016 10:04 AM
67 finding a better way to help those that can't afford tutition, instead of telling individuals at the last minute that they can't graduate 3/24/2016 1:30 PM
68 KSU should find different ways to get the graduate students more involved. As of now, majority of the graduate students do not know or are not included in events hosted by the university. Majority of the events and even tutors are more geared toward the undergraduate students. 3/23/2016 1:30 PM
