Overall ExperienceWhat's This?

Not everyone is keen on the town of Murfreesboro, but almost everyone loves MTSU—it’s a safe and rewarding environment. One key to a stress-free experience here is to plan ahead so you’re not running late for class all the time. Stress can be tough, and a few stitches in time can help you avoid a lot of headaches. Once students graduate, many seem to leave with a bigger impression of the people who helped them learn, rather than the actual material they studied. Lots of students also comment that they have made great friends at MTSU and are grateful for the experience and opportunities. There is something for everyone in Murfreesboro, and if you make an effort to look around the corner, you may find the solution to a problem you didn’t even know you had.


The outdoor environment around MTSU is personally rewarding. There are local parks everywhere and major state parks as close as a 30-minute drive in any direction. Anyone who chooses to become active in outdoor pursuits will not be let down. Between the inspiring Tennessee landscape and the technical and logistical assistance from MTSU, an outdoor enthusiast can enjoy wonderful experiences here.


Remember: If you ever need help while you’re here, all you have to do is ask. The faculty and staff at MTSU want nothing more than to see you succeed. Your success reflects upon them and enforces their purpose in teaching. Your teachers can also be your best networking tool when it comes time to look for a job or internship, so when you find professors you like, take other classes with them, and really get to know them—you can go far.

I don’t find the school very challenging. The departmental organization is horrific. No one has any idea what anyone else is doing, and you’ll spend most of your time running from one place to another with re-done paperwork because someone lost it, didn’t send it through the proper channels, or gave you the wrong paperwork in the first place. There is a great lack of communication among the administration, which makes it extremely difficult to get anything done.

I have enjoyed MTSU very much. The classes have been just what I was looking for. Almost all of my professors have been very good and well-qualified to teach in their fields. I like the campus and all the students I’ve met. I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.
