Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

MTSU is not that strict. For example, in 2004, the school instituted a smoking ban near all facility entrances, on walkways, and in public areas. Since no one was enforcing that rule, students simply ignored it. Today, there are newer and better ashtrays in front of the library.

MTSU is a dry campus, which means alcohol of any sort is not allowed on school grounds. However, hang out in the Murphy Center parking lot after a football game and you’ll see half the trash is alcohol-related. And few people are ever caught drinking in the dorms, relative to the campus’ population, although the act happens often.

Strictness in the residence halls is dependent upon the resident director and assistant of the dorm. Students are allowed to be loud during the day—and they are. Bands and single musicians practice in their dorm rooms, and drummers can be heard from far away whaling on their instruments. This seems to add to the atmosphere instead of irritate others. But even though MTSU is lax on a lot of things, don’t think the University won’t kick you out. Plagiarism and cheating are serious offenses, and either of these acts will get you expelled faster than you can say “attribution.” In terms of everyday offenses, if you get caught doing something, it will likely be a parking violation of some sort.

Following the Rules Are Mandatory

Their is no drinking on campus and they have just banned on-campus smoking. So, if you are caught you will be penalized. Their are not many on-campus parties because the police will shut them down by 12 so its best to have parties, smoke,and drink off campus. Make sure you sober up before coming back!

Safety

Safety is kind of sketchy. Campus security is provided but with such a large campus it is hard to keep tabs on everyone. It is improving but still has a ways to go. Girls especially should never venture on or around campus alone after dark. It's a large city and some of the problems are completely non related to MTSU.

Dress Code

I don't live on campus and only show up for classes and then leave. From what I see there is not a strict dress code policy.
