Tiffany

Nothing, I feel that I was well informed.

Amyn

Don't be nervous or scared about how you will be perceived by other students. The University hosts a very diverse group of students of all ages and ethnicities. The classes are smaller than most other universities, and the for the most part, the professors are interested in your success.

Remondo

everything I needed to know I found out on my visit to the school.

I wish I would have known how easy it was to navigate around campus, before coming to Tennessee State University I thought it was going to be difficult to navigate to classes and I thought it was a big campus.

Dontaveous

i wish i had known that the freshman dorm was so bad, but im glad they are renovating.

Melissa

Honestly, there really isn't anything that I wish I had not Known before I came here, except the ways to try and get instate tuition. I say that because before I made my decision, I visted the school on multiple occasions to see what they had to offer to help my decision to come here. The out of state tuition is a killer, but I wish I had known the necessary steps needed to get in-state that way it would have been less stressful on my parents and I.

Brittney

I wish I would have known about the crime rate around the surrounding area!

Leeha

I am a Dental Hygiene Major. At Tennessee State they offer an A.A.S. and B.S. degree. I came into the school with the understanding of being there for maxium of two years to recieve an associates degree. Half-way though my first semester I sit down with my advisor to talk about applying for the Dental program. It is then that I learn, that it will take me 3 1/2 years to get my degree and I might as well get the B.S. I feel like they intentionally withheld the information hoping I would stay.

Tamara

The things i wish i would have known about this school was they really dont care about the students stafety on the TSU campus is certainly not its greatest attribute. But Each of the dorms has a booth where a security officer is supposed to check IDs, but you only see someone working there once in a blue moon. Most of the time, someone can drive onto the campus with no questions asked?

Tracy

I did my research and was well aware of what I was getting myself into.

Mollie

I wish that I had known that the administration does not know what they are doing. They are of no help and it appears that they never work. You have to do things on your own.

Tyler

Prior to attending the Tennessee StateUniversity, I wish I had known that I didn't need to worry. As an out of state student, coming from two states away, I often found myself very worried about leaving my comfort zone where I was very popular and had lots of friends to attending a school where I knew no one and was unsure what it had in-store for me. Overall I am more than pleased with my experience here and would not change it for the world.
