A great school for an affordable price. Lots of great clubs on campus and tons of events to keep you busy. Lots of campus amenities and resources. Personally love and miss the campus gym. Professors were great and the classes were very informative. Being in the Murfreesboro gives you lots to do plus Nashville is a short drive away.

The answer is indeed “watch the tutorial” or “look online.” The lectures are given poorly, there are no clear cut directions with anything to include expectations. Classes are laid out poorly and with inconsistent information. Students are talked down to as if they are children. Professors and staff are condescending. Basically paying thousands to watch lectures that were recorded off Youtube, no power point slides provided.... Read More
