Middle Tennessee State University Top Questions

I really enjoyed attending MTSU. I feel that God led me there for a specific purpose. I have met so many great people and had experiences that have shaped me as a person. I only looked at two other schools but MTSU was my top choice. Academically, I had a great experience and completed a thesis with the Honors College as an undergraduate. I was very proud of that accomplishment. I have grown socially by my participation in extracurricular activities such as Student Government, Band of Blue, MTSU Gospel Choir, and my sorority. As an adult, I learned to be completely independent as a student living on-campus. I can say that I actually enjoyed living in the dorms. It made me feel as if I was a part of the campus and student body. It was also an adjustment moving to Murfreesboro as I was not used to living in a city that size. I learned to adapt and actually feel that Murfreesboro is a great place to live. I can truly say that I had a great experience at MTSU. I would recommend it to anyone that is motivated and focused on their academic goal. Thank you.

The main thing I've gotten out of my college experience is the appreciation of time and how we use it. People simply do not have enough time in the day to get all the things they need or want to get done. This has been extremely valueable to me because I've learned how to manage myself and plan for the future more effectively.

My friends had a vital factor in choice that I made to continue my courses. As I told them of struggles they encouraged me to continue to push forward no matter the challenges, although some friends doubted me this to serve as a spark necessary to ignite my perseverance. More specifically in one particular event, I received an F in an exam. My professor pulled me aside and informed me that I should consider the option of dropping the course! This news fell on me like an elephant stomping on a mouse; my academic dedication was at an all time low. As I recounted my horrific experience my best friend, Jose let me realize the responsibility that accompany the privilege of taking college course at a high school level. He pushed me to continue and to prove my rank as a top student and I took on the challenge accordingly.

Actually I have not attended college yet I will be attending college for my first time this August at Middle Tennessee State University and will hopefully successfully graduate in the spring of 2014!

I have not only been receiving a wonderful education, but I have also made new friends that will last a lifetime. I meet some amazing teachers who are here for you as a student and a person. They honestly want to see you succeed and achieve you goals. The environment is exceptional and the campus is beautiful. I will cherish the memories I have thus far made, and I have no doubt that my remaining time at the university will be anything less than phenomonal.

I have learned from my little college experience, that being an adult takes alot of responsibilty. When going into college one has mature very quickly. One also has to learn how multiask and balance a social and educational lifestyle. College is nothing like high school. And I realized that some of the things I did in high school branded me when I got into college. But I can easily start over with a clean slate. College is valuable in establishing one's survival. We no longer live in a world where you'll be ok without job or an education. So college is very important in today's world. College will be of value to me in the long run, in that I know I will always have a roof over my head and food on my table.

In the time I have spent pursuing my dream of becoming a nurse I have had the opportunity to fulfill many other aspirations, some I didn?t even know I had. I have had the pleasure of being in the company of an eclectic group of people who have allowed me to redefine my values. I am now able to value my education. My personal journey has allowed me to perform and understand algebraic equations, accept many different personality traits, and appreciate the knowledge that has been bestowed to me by an exceptional educational staff. I believe that my education has given me a chance at creating a world in which I will be proud to live. I have spent countless hours completing homework, reading chapters and studying lecture notes in pursuit of a dream that is about to become a reality. It has recently occurred to me that I have also discovered something that may possibly be more valuable than my education: myself. I have discovered that I am a very dedicated, compassionate and loving person and I believe this discovery is what drives my ambitions.

During my senior year of high school, I dually enrolled into a nearby community college and attended a semester of college classes. I thought I would have to attend the community college after my high school graduation because it was cheaper and closer to home. However, I got the opportunity to attend MTSU and fell in love with it. I feel like I have jumped head first into the full college experience. I pay my entire rent to live in an off-campus apartment, pay and attend as many of my sorority's activites as my schedule will allow, work a part-time job, and am active in other on-campus organizations. Even though I have hardly any free time, I wouldn't have it any other way. I love being immersed in every aspect of my life. I feel that it will help me prepare for my future life after college. College is just a stepping stone to the rest of my life, and I intend on taking full advantage of any and every opportunity that comes charging my way. I am extremely excited to see how influential my college experiences will be in my future lifestyle after graduation.

Growing up is not easy. Being in college has opened my eyes to new experiences that I would have never been exposed to anywhere else. I have gained life experience and wisdom from classes, instructors, mentors, and friends. Living on campus and being on my own has given me a chance to recognize the skills that I have, improve the skills that I need to work on, and learn new skills. I have met new people and made life long friends. When it comes time for me to network my way through the world, I will be able to say that I know good people. College is not about what you have when you get here, but about what you have gained by the time you leave. I want to be able to graduate and say that made it through college despite the obstacles and the nay sayers. My main goal is to strive for the best so I can be able to mentor and guide young men and women who want to be the best in everything they do.

From college I have grown as a person in all ways possible. I feel as if my friends are a lot more diverse and accepting, and I have adopted a lot of new good habbits and dropped the bad ones. There is a great vegan and vegetarian scene on campus which helped me express myself alot more. I moved far away from my home which made me respect my parents more and taught me to be completly independent. Also, with being in college I learned time managment and money managment which are both very important skill to learn throughout life. I feel as if I have gotten a great education so far and I've only completed two years. I cannot wait to see what Middle Tennessee State University has in store for me for the rest of my college career.
