Austin Peay State University Rankings by Salary Score

I transferred to Austin Peay due to the fact that I got stationed at Fort Campbell. Worst decision I have ever made. Starting with advisors, I kept switching them up hoping that I would get someone who is willing to help but none of them seems to be helpful. The worst part is the Biology department. I am deployed right now, already frustrated and these instructors are even more frustrating then being in this desert. I registered like every other student and for some odd reason, my name wasn’t on the list.... Read More All other students had their classes on d2l except for mine. I had to write emails to random staff at Austin Peay with no help. I had to send my husband to the school to find out what was going on. I finally got my classes on d2l 3 days later. I let that one go out of the window. I continued with my classes like nothing happened. Time for midterms, they post that exams would be available at 12:01am come to realize nothing is available. I am on a deployment and also have 8 hours of time difference so I have to plan accordingly because I have to do some detail or go on a mission unexpectedly. I ask my chain of command to give me a day to do my test and I find out my test is not available the time they said it would be. I honestly can’t wait to leave Austin Peay. I am transferring as soon I get back to the states. Horrible school ever . At least in my experience. None of my friends or colleagues is going to attend

I am a sophomore at APSU and when I toured they seemed like an amazing growing school! However, they leave out a few things that you don't find out until you get here: 1. The only upperclassman housing that is dorm style and affordable (3900 a semester) is honors (3.5 GPA requirement) and only has 50 beds. Students reserve their beds every year until they graduate leaving few empty. The rest are apartment style and expensive. It has leaks in the ceiling that fill up trash cans and cockroaches the size of your... Read More index finger. Settling problems from hell. The building is falling apart. 2. The wifi is horrible. I have gone over on data every month I have been here as a student. Even devices connected via ethernet cable can't connect half the time. 3. Office of financial aid, busar, and admissions is a wreck. They never know how to fix issues. Do they even communicate with each other??? We don't know. Expect them to lose at least one document you submitted for registration. 4. Honors program? Don't even bother. The head of the department will not work with you or care about you. There are no perks except free printing (when the printer works) and snacks. Maybe some seminars. 5. The campus is right on top of government housing. People break into housing units and classrooms all the time drunk/hopped up on drugs. Every year I have lived on campus drugged individuals have wandered into my hall and sometimes they set off the fire alarm. There is a house next to the math building where people come and smoke weed while letting their small children run around in traffic/construction zones/school parking lots. The police make trips back there regularly. 6. The campus is on a sinkhole. Literally. There are constant sewage problems causing the whole campus to smell like a toilet. The running water is sketchy as all get out. PLEASE ONLY DRINK FROM BRITA STATIONS OR FOOD FACILITIES. 7. There is not enough parking on campus for residents. There is no student lot next to honors housing. 8. There are parking lot closures all the time. Good luck finding where to park your car. 9. Campus cafeteria closes half the facility hours before they are supposed to close or they just decide to not be open at all some days. Sometimes the only thing open on campus is subway. For days. As an honors student I feel very let down by this school. If I could have a do-over I would have chosen ETSU or UTC.
