Middle Tennessee State University Top Questions

It is hard to get straight answers from the financial aid offices.

the fact that its the biggest school in tennessee and that nobody likes to stay on campus during the weekends, it makes campus dead. and that its a dry campus but yet everyone drinks.

I believe parking is the most frustrating thing. It takes forever to park and get to class.

That the meal plan is not included in the fees I already pay

The biggest frustration with my shool is the amount of crime that oocurs on campus and the school does not respond by increasing campus security. Also, drugs are a really big problem and I lived in a vey undesirable situation with roomates that I did not know, which I recently got out of. The last problem with my school is the campus is very old and the school recieves limited funding which means that it takes the a long time to remodel the older buildings.

The campus has a lot of commuters. A lot of people are into the arts department, due to our recording industry (best in the country), so it is quite liberal. These are also not the kind of people to be attending sporting events. I wish there was more pride taken in our athletic programs.

Everyone leaves on the weekend and there isn't much going on on-campus. There isn't very much vareity in Murfreesboro.

Number of students enrolled

Financial aid is operated by the students that attend school here at MTSU. Most of that information should be confidential and allowed only to be viewed by professionals. They also can't help a student such as me just because they are inexperienced. Most of my tuition is paid for by loans because they could not help me.

The financial aid office is a little hard to deal with sometimes. They are very busy with many students to accommodate and they have a very small office. I always seem to have to check with them in everything they help me with to make sure it will go through on time. They are very friendly and try to help, but I just think they are too bust for the amount of staff they have. Sometimes I have to wait a long time to see someone.
