Clayton State is known for serving large numbers of non-traditional students, with only around a third of the student body under the age of 22; as a result, the campus culture adopts a noticeably mature, professional atmosphere.

A large portion of the campus community chooses to live closer to the city and commute, either by driving or taking advantage of Atlanta’s popular MARTA system.
