The most popular student activities at Texas Southern are the school athletic events, intramural sports, and Greek organization events. There is something for everyone on this campus.

You have your groups, and other people have their groups. Everyone believes theirs is the most important: that's just human nature. I cannot name a single sorority or fraternity, but I'll bet they don't know what my groups are called either. I am involved mainly in NSSLHA, which is the National Student Speech Language Hearing Association. We do volunteer activities, go to conferences for our profession, and do fundraiser activities. The advisors for NSSLHA are my teachers, and the officers and members are my classmates, so we're a pretty close group. I met my closest friends actually taking physical education classes. I took social dance, self-defense, badmitton, and aerobic dance, all of which required a lot of communication between the people in the class, so we got to know each other pretty well. I am not really big on the party scene. I don't smoke or drink or hang out with people who do. There are plenty of church groups both on and off campus. There are also two malls, three movie theatres, one of which is on campus- $2 a movie, and several stores and restaurants to go to.

Fraternities and sororities are pretty popular. They are active on campus. I'm a part of the National Society of Collegiate scholars. It's pretty easy to join campus organizations. There are many different ones, so it's not hard to find one you like. There's usually a pretty good crowd at football games; unfortunately it's not as popular as some of the bigger name schools. There usually always something to do on campus.

All around MTSU is a neighborhood. On East Main St there are historic mansions and houses dating back to the Civil War era along with apartments, places to eat and shop, and more. On Clark/Middle Tennessee Blvd., there are homes and apartments. On Greenland, there are local business, bookstores, nightlife, and more houses and apartments. On Rutherford Blvd., there are homes, apartments, restaurants, grocery stores and other necessary shopping. As soon as you step off of campus, you are in a quaint, old city with a modern feel and inspiring history and architecture!

Most popular groups are probably Greek organizations and club sports. I recently founded a Club sport called Hurling. Students who get involved leave their dorms much more often and more quickly become familiar and comfortable with the school. Fraternities and sororities are of minor importance and on the down slide. People party a good deal at houses bordering campus. Non drinking activities on a Saturday night can include attending a live music house show, watching a school sports match, going to the school theater, participating in intramural sports.

i think its lame how nobody supports the athletics!

You can pretty much spend the entire four years of college on campus and not lack for much. There's restaurants (Quiznos', Chik-fil-a, Subway, Mexican, Sushi bar, Starbucks, and two homestyle buffets, one of which is all you can eat.) A dry goods type grocery store that carries apparel as well, a movie theater, the Rec center with a multiple swimming pools, lots of excercise equipment, and indoor soccer field, as well as lot's of cool classes you can take there. There's also a banking center, post office, and movie rental place.

I intensely hate MTSU and Murfreesboro. The past few years have been miserable. I have considered transferring schools many times, but never did because it's more affordable. In everything you do at MTSU, you hit a wall at every turn; almost everyone who works there seems to enjoy sending students on endless pursuits in search of whatever kind of help they need. I hear reports all the time about students being attacked on campus by criminals; look up Murfreesboro on familywatchdog.us, it's almost funny. The town is filled with sex offenders and meth addicts.

MTSU is a cool little place. I do wish I could change some things about my experience here but overall, I wouldnt change much. Anyone who comes here just needs to take every opportunity that comes and make the most of their time here.

Somewhat but I think MTSU is very underrated

MTSU is an amazing campus for student/faculty interaction. We, as in one entity and not an individual, swim in school pride. There are often controversial protests and statements of all kinds, but the point of the matter is not holding up a sign and pumping one's fist; it is the fact that we are allowed to pump our fists and hold that sign while voicing our opinion. The faculty gives the students absolute respect, and in turn our student body reacts positively and a symbiotic relationship is formed. There are need of improvements, after all: no campus is perfect. The major issue is parking, or better yet, the lack thereof. Students usually have to arrive about half an hour before their class begins so they will not be late. Yeah, it's that bad.

Borderline retarded, racist, homophobic, uncultured vapid stupid and homogeneous. Guys, if you don't like scrawny blondes with beady little eyes with names like Ashley, Brittany, Whitney, etc., don't come here. Girls, if you don't like fratty dickwads, hicks in monster trucks or wanna-be hipsters, consider a better alternative. There are MANY. I'm here for graduate school. I received my Bachelor's degree from a top ten private liberal arts college that cost a shit ton of money. I was able to attend based on my generous scholarships and a heaping helping of student loans. There were A LOT of wealthy kids there. But they were smart. The only thing worse than smart rich kids are STUPID rich kids. And they abound here. I've never seen so many BMWs, Audis, Hummers, Lexuses and titanic monster trucks in my life. And they're all piloted by people who have enough money to go to whatever school they desire, but they're too STUPID to get in to good schools. In fact, most of these people wouldn't know a GOOD school if it jumped up and bit 'em in the ass.

i think its lame how nobody supports the athletics!

I can honestly say that I have never had a bad professor in my time here at MTSU. I have always learned so much and I have always enjoyed my classes and done well in them. I love taking Honors classes because they are very small and usually strictly discussion-oriented. The most unique classes I've taken have been toward my Theatre minor. I have taken Make-Up class and Storytelling. Amazingly, I learned so much in both! The recording industry program also offers some very interesting classes that are unique to MTSU.

Thanks!

The best thing about MTSU is the quality of faculty and staff that serves the student body. It is on eof the best in the state. Also the old Buldings like KOM, the beatiful trees, the nature and location of the campus is outstanding. The thisng that I would first cahnege is the science building. It is not upto the required standard. I would build a large science bulding that will stand out as a big attraction to Tenneessee high school graduate as the best colleg for sciences. Also Why not bult a Medical school? Pre med students have a rough time trying to apply to other medical colleges. If we had one here then many students would definately hopt to take pre professional courses. Whenever I tell people that I am in MTSU, they ussually ask me Where it is located, and what I am majoring in. The next obvious question that follows is, What is the capacity of students? I spend most of muy time in the Library and the Track since I run Track and cross country. Studying in the Linbrary is really enriching. The admistartion in MTSU is good, since all the activities synchronize well. Right from admission, extarcurricular activities to graduation. The bigggest controvercy so far in MTSU is parking, the overpriced book at the book store and the extension of the day to bult the New science building. At Mtsu there is a lot of school pride, when I come uot of a class and all I see is a grop of students dressed in blue, it trigger in me the pride of being a blue raider memebr. I will always remember MTSU for it greatness in the Academic and athletic superiority

i think everyone is really friendly for the most part. i'm not sure who would feel out of place becuas there is a little bit of everyone here. yeah all different types of people react. most of the students here come from tennessee. i have no idea about the backgrounds of the political views!

It didn't take me long to realize that college in Tennessee (and likely in other Southern states) is equivalent to high school in other parts of the country. I've never met so many stupid, vapid idiots in my life. Standards here are so low that to be an honors student, you simply have to have a 3.5 GPA coming out of high school. Gee, that's aiming high. School like this continue to lower the bar for academic performance and achievement and contribute to the decreasing value of Bachelor's degrees as well as the perception of Americans as fat bumbling idiots who devalue education. You can actually get a Bachelor's degree from this school in CONCRETE MANAGEMENT. Seriously?! Fortunately, the Recording Industry department attracts people from all over the country, and the department has some good faculty that introduce some rigor into the academic daily diet.

The campus is always havng some event but as mentioned before, its usually catered to specific crowds. There are plenty of clubs, organizations, teams, and groups to join. There are Greek orgs (NPHC, PHC, IFC), intermural teams, sports clubs, religious clubs and groups, and even an anime club. Each year, there are about 20 new groups and orgs brought on campus to spark a student's interest.
