Tennessee State University Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about Tennessee State University? Why?

Kathryn

Paying too much for school books that they will never take back.

Dinh

The worst thing about the school is that it offers a very limited scholarship fund. It needs to provide more scholarships to attract and encourage more students. That is the worst thing about the school. Other than lacking scholarship funds, it is a great school.

Ashleigh

The worst thing about my school is that my favorite classes are not everyday! I like to consider myself a nerd so I like to be in the classroom as much as I possibly can.

Donald

There are issues with the departments associated with admissions, financial aid, and bursar. The financial aid is not released until a full week after school starts, placing a burden on students to fend for textbooks. These offices seem to move at a snails' pace.

Jamil

The availbility and enthusiasim of the administtrators and falculty of the school. Regarding financial aid, academic problems or concerns or general campus related problems. It may take up to a few days just to get a finacial problem handle as oppose to a few hours at most instituions. The same goes with the responsivness of teachers to students. Teachers may be unavalible or have limited office hours. Feedback wuld help the student communicate better with the university as a whole.

Gabrielle

There are some business problems but overall it's a great school!

Latifah

The worst thing about my school is the financial aid situations. The people in the financial aid office never tries to help you with your financial aid they just brush you off and tell you to figure it out on your own. If you are a freshman living in a freshman dorm, I would advice you to not live in the freshman dorm called Mary Wilson Hall because the living arrangements are to horrible for any female to live in.

Virginia

- the worst thing is financial aid service. it is lengthly and one doesnt recieve what one should. leaving them with options of taking extra loans or giving up dream for that particular college.

Brian

That some students come to Tennessee State University not caring about their futures. But only a select few. Those select few are the ones that keep up trouble in the university.

Tamia

That it is not ethnically diverse, but it is a HBCU so that is understandable.
