MTSU Other Major

I don't know of any. I'm from around here.

First of all, I'd like to point out that this is a STATE school; it receives federal funding from income tax revenue. That said, every person in the country contributes to the well-being of this and every other state-sponsored institution.

Now that I've pointed that out, I'd like to take the time to express my absolute disgust with this place; I bear nothing but contempt for the school as a whole. MTSU's sports teams are "Blue Raiders." From what I understand, that nickname was assigned to Nathan Bedford Forrest, Confederate General during the Civil War. The school also has a building named after him. I find that only somewhat distasteful. What truly disgusts me, however, is that Forrest was the first Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, and the perpetrator of the Fort Pillow massacre, a notorious Civil War atrocity committed primarily against black Union soldiers. The former is a fact, the latter is somewhat disputed. Regardless, it makes me SICK that every person in this country contributes money to a school that PRIDES itself on its link to a disgusting racist of legendary proportions.

Having gotten this out of my system, there are a few other gripes I'd like to share. First, for a town as large as Murfreesboro, there's surprisingly little to do. Most students pack up and go home on the weekends anyway. That alone is pitiful. There's nothing within walking distance of campus. You have to drive everywhere. No one rides bikes. They just drive their hand-me-down BMWs and monster trucks to the closest douchebag-ridden frat boy or hillbilly bar and drink shitty beer; there's not much else here. If you want to go eat somewhere decent, prepare for nothing but chain restaurants. And there's not a SINGLE coffee shop in this wretched hellhole. The last one just closed up. Hmmm, maybe it's because they closed at EIGHT O'CLOCK. This is a fucked up town for anyone who's ever lived anywhere other than Middle Tennessee.

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.

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.

See above. If you don't like to go home for the weekends or hang out at shitty bars, then there's nothing to do here.

I've exhausted myself. See above.
