If you go to class and work along in your book, you will do well in most classes. Be sure that you know how to work well in a group, and DON'T PROCRASTINATE. If there is an emergency most professors will understand and will work with you to succed. None of the Professors want you to fail and if you don't understand something just ask, or go to their office when they have their scheduled office time, if they can't help you they will help you find someone who can. If you do these things and want to learn you will.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
The area and people in it are great. The campus looks big, but you can easily walk from one side to the other in 10 minutes or less, and if you don't want to walk the Peay Pickup goes around every 15 or 20 minutes and it is free with your student I.D. and Peay Pickup card you get at the begining of the semester. Since coming here I have not meet anyone I didn't like or that wasn't friendly.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Austin Peay is less expensive than most other 4 year colleges, plus you get to ride any city bus for free, if you live in the dorms, you have access to a free laundry room, the library is HUGE, and there is always something going on. Overall it is deffinantly a great deal.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Turn in your application as early as possible. Fill out financial aid forms as fast as possible, the money does run out. If possible live on campus, it makes the early class that you are likely to have to get a lot easier, if you don't have to get up extra early to drive to school. If you must drive arrive sometime between 6:30-7:10 for morning classes, and 12:30-1:10 for afternoon classes if want a decent parking spot. If you have a dorm room that is kind of out of the way, or if you are a commuter student I would try to get a locker, there are some lockers on the first floor of the MUC and there are some for Art students in Trahern. There may be more but I don't know where they are.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
I see students of all types here and they all can succeed. You just have to not be afraid of asking for help when you know that you need it. There are resources to help with just about any problem that you may have.
