You're on your way to class and you're running late, but wait, you can't find a place to park! That is the absolute worst part of MTSU. Students have to get to campus early and circle the campus numerous times before they can finally fight for a parking spot when someone is leaving. There are so many students currently enrolled that there isn't enough parking for everyone. When you are in college, students have enough to worry about without the constant stress of making it to class before the professor locks you out of the classtoom.

MTSU is a great place to come and get a degree. It's not great if you want to go to the top of your field in anything but the "off-the-radar" fields mentioned above. I came to MTSU for Recording Industry, but changed to Broadcast Journalism and now will be transferring to Syracuse because I don't feel like I am surrounded by elite students. MTSU is also a major commuter school, leaving the campus dead on the weekends and meaning school spirit and support for athletics is brutal among the students.

The worst thing about Middle Tennessee State University is its numbers. Focusing becomes difficult in a lecture-based class of three hundred. Scheduling odd class times or choosing less popular classes helps this issue. However, in required, general-education classes, sometimes that is not an option.

The distance that off campus students' have to walk in order to get to class. On one occasion, I had to walk 2.7 miles to get to class during the rain.

The worst part of MTSU would have to be its location. The streets and buildings are nice and the campus is nice, however, it seems impossible to go a whole week without rain. The constant rain sucks for whenever you have to walk to your classes and the bottom of your jeans are soaking by the time you get there.

The worst thing about MTSU is the amount of slackers and drug/alcohol abuse.

The worst thing about my school is the limited parking close to buildings on campus. This makes it difficult to find a place to park before class.

Parking, its the only complaint I have. Even though parking areas have been added it still takes 20-30 minutes to park. The parking areas are color coded most students have a green parking tag. It seems as if there are lots of white parking tag areas and empty spaces in these areas when the green ones are constantly full and students have to drive around so long to find a space. Maybe some of the white areas should be changed to green??

I would have to say that the worst aspect of Middle Tennessee State University would have to be the scholarship program. The only way a student can really get any opportunity to recieve a scholarship or financial aid is to be an incoming freshman. If one is not an incoming freshman, than any hope of recieving aid through the school is no longer relevant.

I think the worst thing about MTSU is parking. A majority of the 23,000 students are commuters. There are several parking lots on campus, but they fill up extremely fast and once you find a spot you have to walk about half a mile to get to class. There is on campus police officers that ticket throughout the day, even on visitors vehicles. Even professors have a hard time finding parking spots, many get ticketed as well. More parking definitely needs to be added to this large fast growing commuter school.
