Great HBCU Experience

The nightlife for TSU is pretty amazing. It has the perfect balance of parties and relaxed sets. We can get wild and crazy but also be chill. There tends to be more parties for over 21 crowd but 18 and older stil have plenty of options. It is really the perfect party school for those who want to go to an HBCU we do it best.

Financial Aid Is Very Rough

Here at TSU I noticed that alot of people who want to go here are sent home because they do not have enough money. I noticed that the school over lends money to some people and people get all this money back in a refund check and blow it. This is not good because people blow the money when there is actually someone in need for it. I believe my school is low in funds and needs more help when looking at financial aid.

TSU Students

TSU students are very immature. They have a lot of drama that is uncalled for , and I can say many people do not come to TSU for an education. The ways students dress are not bad at all. They come presentable since our new president came. I see alot of people in relationships and not very focused on what they should be. I also notice that alot of people go to parties and social events but will not go to class.

Nashville, Tennessee is a great place for all minorities. Tennessee State University is next to two other HBCU'S and often have friendly rival competition with one another. For those with gentle souls there is a poetry cafe just down the street. Also, downtown is just ten minutes away with many clubs and restaurants for everyone to enjoy.

Tsu Athletics

Football and Basketball are really the only sports most people focus on. The teams are getting better and student atmosphere at the basketball games are increasing. For football most people only go to the Classics over the regular games, however students really wont to have a game at our actual on campus stadium rather than the Tennessee Titans Stadium to give us a MUCH NEEDED college atmosphere for college football.

Parking Depends on the Day and Time

We get free parking decals but the need for a car is not a necessity as long as you know someone with a car.

Guys & Girls

Everyone dresses the same, I feel like no one has a mind of there own to dress different out of fear of being judged or ridiculed, everyone feels as if they need to be in a large group everywhere they go to feel secure and not alone they do not have enough sense to stand alone and think for themselves at least some of the time , I feel as if no one is secure with themselves enough to be by themselves.

One of the characteristics I like best about TSU is the freedom of expression. You dont have to dress a certain way or drive a certian car to be sccepted.

Tsu's campus life is filled with fun and excitement. But the dorms and campus amenities such as; elevators classrooms, cafe, etc. could use some work.

Pure Luck

Campus parking is tough. If you're not at school early, let's say around 7:30-8:00am, then parking will be definitely hard to find on any given weekday.

TSU doesn't have many parties on campus. Most parties are in various areas of Nashville. Downtown probably offers the best spots for parties, especially on Second Avenue. I don't go to clubs in Nashville as much as I used to because it seems to be the same crowd and sometimes the prices are ridiculous.

There are only two dorms worth living in, and one of those is only for females. The other is coed. The other dorms are similar and old. Elevators tend to break down often in these dorms.

TSU is a HBCU (Historically Black Colleges and Universities), so the population is mostly African American. The students are great, but some need an extra boost from high quality professors that are here for the students. The women outnumber the men by a landslide, so things get a bit heated. Overall, it is okay.

Initially, the parties off campus are wild, fun, and often exciting. There are no parties on campus which sounds good but is really not. Second Avenue, Printers Alley, and a few other areas around town are cool places to hang.

There are quite a few quality restaurants in the area, and they offer a wide selection of food choices. There are some handy value menus and a food market within the area. Some good spots are Sir Pizza, TJ's, Nuttin but Wings, Swett's, and Harper's.

It plays a huge role at TSU. I'm in a sorority, and it has shaped my life. At our school, there are the Greeks and then the randoms, which is mean to say but that's how it goes. Everyone wants to feel included. There are tons of parties and equally as much community service, but people don't see that part.

The dorms are not very good in my opinion. I believe that it has something to do with the people that are living in the dorm with you as well. I would definitely avoid Boyd Hall and Watson, if possible for males. Hale Hall is the way to go because you share a bathroom with your suitemates unlike the community bathrooms in the others.

The atmosphere is nice in Nashville. There is something for everyone no matter your interests, and Nashville is still growing. While in Nashville, you can find plenty of tasty restaurants, shopping areas, and a downtown area that is filled with the sounds of music and laughter. TSU is near Vanderbilt, Fisk, Belmont, and a few other schools, so there is definite interaction between the students.

Football seems to be hold a rich tradition on campus, but the band is really the highlight of games. All the other sports kind of fall into place behind it as far as popularity is concerned. Intramural sports seem to be fun. There is usually a great number of people who sign up for the intramural basketball every year.

Sexually, TSU is pretty diverse being that females outnumber males. There are homosexuals, but they usually stay with their small groups or to themselves. Ethically, the most predominant race is African American, but there are others. In my opinion, everyone is on the same level economically.

Greek life is okay at Tennessee State. Most of the parties aren't really thrown by Greeks, but they do have their fair share. As far being Greek, I don't exactly believe it will affect you, but then again in some places it does have an influence.

Off-campus housing is way better than staying on campus. You just better have a car and be ready to pay bills.
