Middle Tennessee State University Top Questions

I wish I would have know how hard math was going to be and that I would need rain boots.

If I could go back and learn something before I started college, it would be that teachers do not care if you are sick or not. If you miss a day of class, there is no making it up.

Before I came to college I wish I would have known to expect a lot more homework. I wish I would have known that the teachers expect a lot more out of students than the teachers in high school did.

How terrible the parking situation was. There are over 24,000 students enrolled at MTSU, and there are nowhere near enough parking spots for students. It really is a big hassel, and you have to get to school very early to find a parking spot. Another big problem i had was walking to classes, and making it on time. Its not the size of the campus but the amount of people that are always on campus. But positive things i wish i would have known were that the recreation center has a free clinic.

I wish I would have known how much excitement i would have had at Middle Tennessee State University. If i knew that when I graduated from high school, i would have went straight to MTSU instead of going to a community college. MTSU offers so many programs for all of the diverse people who attend.

I wish that I would have known that the classrooms were as crowded as they are. There seems to be quite a lot of large classrooms and that takes away from the one-on-one time with the instructors. I also wish that i would have just been prepared a little more for college itself and had a better understanding of what to expect.

I wish I would have known more about the community around the school-- their attitudes and more of what the city is about.

I wish i had known how to properly study.

How extremely complicated finding a parking spot on campus would be. My first day of class I left thirty minutes early, I only live three minutes away from campus, and it took me thirty minutes to find a parking spot, ten minutes to find the right building, and five minutes to find my classroom. Disaster!
