Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Students at TSU seem to be happy with their experiences thus far. The school has its issues, such as parking and problems with administration, but on the whole, students feel it is a good school and they have no regrets. The University’s motto is “Students Matter Most,” and they truly try to aid students in any way they can. The teachers are excellent; although some could be a little more outgoing, the majority really tries to help students to get the education they are paying for. There is a good balance between academics and socializing as well, and TSU students know when to party and when to study. There are a few exceptions, but most students do not allow their social lives to interfere with their grades because their education is important to them. However, students are not afraid to blow off class for the fall and winter breaks to go home early, and they are not shy about heading out early on a Friday for a Tigers road game! There are a few improvements that could be made such as parking, registration, and some building renovations, but most of TSU’s drawbacks are related to the same problems the city itself has. The administration seems like they are trying to better the school, and former-president Hefner was adamant about fundraisers and programs that brought money to the school for its improvements. There is one aspect that needs to change and that is the enrollment and registration process. It is difficult for an incoming student to know where to go and who to contact, and the administration could be much more helpful in aiding students with registration and updating them on their financial aid status. TSU students are satisfied with the school as a whole, and in order to get the best ideas of what to do and not to do, talk to the students. TSU students are friendly, energetic, and always able to help someone
in need.

Greek Life at Tennessee State University

I am not into Greek Life as much as I should be. The Greeks, and I mean all of them, throw the BEST parties. They know how to put on a show and represent. They "show love" non-Greeks, but of course their "bruhs" and "sorors" mean everything to them. They sometimes keep the crowds pumped up when in different events like pep rallies or games, although the "Pep Section" can get JUST as loud.

Campus Dining at Tennessee State University

Cruise Cuisine

Our dining options on campus include Chic Fi-La, Pizza Hut, KFC, and sub sandwich restaurant. All of these fast diners have great food that tastes well and can last you almost the bulk amount of your classes during the day, saving on money; although, if you have a bigger stomach like myself, you may find yourself wondering into the "sub" more often spending more money than intended and the prices for food is not "college student friendly". The "cafe" always has the best foods, and sometimes the healthiest. Watching the "ladies" make the food in front of you, or just the hype from the other students around being as hungry as you, increases the desire for food. The best way to "save a penny" is to dine in the cafe at least three times a day.

Health & Safety at Tennessee State University

Always in the Know

Our campus is located in an area where crime happens frequently, yet we are always informed by email, text, or the best form, word of mouth. Our campus police are friendly, yet strict. They have buckled down as the years have passed gating in certain areas of campus, not allowing anyone to pass through. These officers are working extremely hard and in harsh weather conditions to ensure our safety on campus. Of course, we can not be protected from every possible crime or harm someone may cause, but they ensure our safety and as a Tennessee State University Student, I can say, I feel safe.
