Middle Tennessee State University Top Questions

What kind of person should attend this school?

Patti

MTSU is now larger than UT Knoxville. When I attended, I was out of college, living in Nashville, working my way through my master's program. I commuted to Murfreesboro for classes in the evenings. The kind of person who should attend MTSU is someone outgoing, someone independent who knows what they are working toward. Lots of distractions most likely will compete for a person's attention at MTSU, but with your goal firmly in mind, it is a great place to get an education, with excellent teachers and programs available. My master's program was difficult, but worth it.

This school is perfect for true blue type of people. True blue people are honest hard workers who take time to share, care, and make others aware. Future MTSU students need to be excited and ready for a much better future. As a MTSU student, you will find yourself around many friendly Tennesseans. You will also need to be prepared to engage in the sweet southern culture of the south. Do not worry, the people in Tennessee are sweet and the tea is sweeter! Future MTSU students, be prepared for friendly smiles and lots of waving hands ready to help.

Scott

A person who is serious about his or her career and life-long goals should attend Middle Tennessee State University. While like many other campuses, MTSU does have social aspects however, this university pushes you to do your absolute best so that you can succeed once you have graduated. I have often heard that MTSU is one of the easiest universities to get into and some may find that true. However, it is what you choose to do with yourself and the path you take once you get accepted that determines the success that you will have in your future.

Connor

After experiencing my first year at MTSU I believe that the best type of person to attend this school is a driven, sociable one. When I first applied here it seemed like a fairly easy university to be accepted in to. However, I quickly learned that the courses were more difficult than I expected and required hard work to succeed. When attending the largest college in Tennessee you are going to meet new people every day. In order to appreciate all of the opportunities MTSU has to offer you must be comfortable with talking to new people.

Someone who is not afraid to get out of their comfort zone to meet new people. There are so many opportunites to get involved, you just have to put yourself out there. If you get involved enough, it starts to feel like a small campus because you quickly begin to know EVERYONE it seems. Also, anyone who wants to do Recording Industry or Aerospace or Education. These are our best majors. MTSU is very casual, and people are friendly if you just try to be nice to them. Class sizes are small too which is nice!

A person who wants to just go to a four-year college and get a job based upon that. If you want to, you can do the more difficult majors like myself and have decent options, but if you do the Recording Industry or Business Administration, good luck getting a job even remotely related to what you want to do.
