    I received both my bachelors and masters from A&M and never had any problems getting the needed classes or correcting my incomplete grades. I've heard other students say that they have had problems but I've always found the staff to be helpful. I worked on campus and never had any problems with getting paid. I received financial aid and it was also processed on time and correctly. I obtained both my co-op job and now my full time job through the career development office. A&M is a wonderful institution and deserves to be given a chance.

    Unfortunately I agree with the rest of the comments here. I last attended aa&m in 2001. Then, as now, there were a few wonderful teachers; but the absolute nightmare of trying to register and fix errors on your report card, even getting paid when I worked for a few months for the university, was an atrocious experience. The office and admin staff could absolutely care less about the student body at all. Clearly, by seeing the more recent comments, one could ascertain that this is a problem they are not interested in fixing anytime soon. What a shame.

    I'm an in coming freshman and i'm already having problems out of the staff. They've been giving me the run around for days, only because they are too lazy too look up the information that I need. But that's what's expected coming from a black college. How unorganized they are... If you want anything done right there i see now that i'm going to have to demand respect.

    I graduated in 2007 and was a graduate student at Alabama A and M University. It is a historically black university and with any institution it is worth the time and effort to spend a day at the university in order to be certain it is for you. In my experience as a full time student, the faculty/academia was exceptional and was the one and only best part of A and M. The administration was and remained disorganized, unhelpful, inefficient and unsystematic. The effort to manage one’s registration, dropped classes, missing grades, not received but you have the proof that it was sent paperwork, staff not answering phones, a mandatory graduation, the long lines that result it many students needing records fixed was just as time consuming as the coursework requirements of earning one’s degree. As a result of the above, I do not recommend anyone attending this university and I will never support A and M as an alumni member.

    My experience at Alabama A&M has been absolutley horrible. The adminstration is very unorganized. At most colleges and university their first concern is the students, but not at at A&M. I wouldn't recommend at this time any parent send their child to this school. I am still currently attending A&M, and it is absolute torture. Trying to get anything done involving adminstration is very chaotic. Example trying to register for classes can be an abosulte pain they will drop you classes over and over for no reason, and they will not give any reason for doing so. Alabama A&M is not the school for anyone... It is not worth the pain or trouble.
