I really am enjoying my classes. I have had very good teachers and very good experiences in my classes. I went to a very academically challenging high school, so I am not challenged beyond belief here, which is very good. I feel that it is a good amount of work and gets challenging at times, but you have to be wise and manage your time.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I definitely am enjoying my time at Austin Peay. I have so much fun on campus and have met some amazing people. There are plenty of opportunities to get involved with all of the different campus organizations, sports teams, sororities, fraternities as well as other extracurricular activities. There is always something to do and I really love it.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
I am most definitely getting a quality education and at a good price. I am in-state, so I'm not really sure how that would be for out-of-state students. But I know for a fact that AP is well priced.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Be sure to get involved! School will suck if you aren't involved in extracurricular activities. There is always something going on and if you attend these functions and join these clubs, you won't have a problem meeting new people and truly enjoying yourself.
And on a serious note: You are an adult now, so be responsible. It's great to have fun, but procrastination will catch up to you so just be wise with your scheduling. :]
Which types of students will excel at your college?
A really big deal breaker for me was the size of the school. It is a pretty small school, so classes are intimate and you can get to know your teacher and even faculty/staff around campus. But it's not too small to where you are bored out of your mind and meet everyone in the first month. I continued to see new faces throughout the entire year.
I personally think it is a great school for just about anyone. The only exception I can think of is if you are coming from a really big city, you may not fully enjoy yourself. Clarksville is relatively small, not cows-on-a-farm small, but still. So if you're coming from Chicago where there's a booming city, you may not enjoy it. But anyone else, come on! :]
