Comment: That's my Alma Mater! (Score 1) 421

Valdosta State did have some serious boneheads in the IT Dept. I had several friends that held student positions in the department and they complained alot about the management. That being said, for a AA sized ( and growing ) Statue University it is a great school. They have an excellent business and education department. The Math/CS department is good for a small school to. We had some excellent professors when I was there. I enjoyed my time at VSU and I wouldn't judge the college based on this stupid idea. The campus has a lot of good Professors and is a nice place to go to school...just the administrative side of the campus is a little crazy ( well alot ). You also have to remember...this is in South Georgia...it is almost like stepping back in time when it comes to politics and law enforcement on the local level.

I heard the same thing when I lived in Valdosta and I do not doubt it. If you look at the percentage of people that live in poverty in Lowndes County it is pretty high. It also has ( not to be racial in anyway ) a large population of poor minorities that greatly contribute to that statistic. If you can find the statistics ( I'm not looking for them at the moment maybe I can find them later this afternoon )...if they broke down the VD cases by ethnicity you would see a large portion of the poorer minority groups have a high rate of VD. It is not uncommon to hear about 11 and 12 year olds having sex and the older they get the more they have it and the more partners they have it with.

Football is very serious in Valdosta. Both of the high schools (Valdosta High, the city high school and Lowndes High, the county high school) have won numerous state championships and I believe Valdosta High has won national championships. Football is also huge at VSU they have won 2 or 3 national championships in the AA division. You are right, it really is a big deal. Saying Atlanta is north of Valdosta is an understatement though, it is on the complete other side of the state. I grew up about an hour from Valdosta.

Which is sad because here in Georgia in Dodge county a sheriff was prosecuted for buying votes with 'money, alcohol, and drugs' and only got 18 months but regular people can get 5+ years for 'Conspiracy to sell a controlled substance'. The sheriff would buy absentee ballots off people and fill them out himself and send them in.
