Fisk University is a small campus.
Fisk is a place for maturation.
Fisk was my one and only choice, and I am very pleased with my decision.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Upon coming to Fisk do not expect to find several thousands of students.
Focus on your academics, as a first-year student aim for a 4.0 so you have cushion to work with in the latter years.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Understanding Rigor to mean strict, cruel, uncomfortable, etc., the courses here at Fisk are opposite. They are very necessary and not overwhelmingly challenging. In the case that they do become overwhelming, simple communication with the professor will have you feeling very accomplished and educated.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
The dorms on campus are very active. There are a few maintenance complaints but most issues are self-caused. This is your new home, have fun and take care of it.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
I enjoy the cafeteria most of the time. There could be a little more variety but other than that Thompson Hospitality is satisfying. *Sidenote: the pizza is good lol.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Being that Fisk is smaller campus there are not as many activities as the larger colleges/universities but it is in a convenient location with Tennessee State and Vanderbilt University only a few minutes away. Also, students enjoy hanging out on the yard, going to parties, and hosting activities in the dorms. Also the Jubilee Singers are a very special unit who I personally enjoy hearing.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
There is the phrase you get what you pay for. Coming to college you pay for an education, not parties. Fisk University is fairly expensive in the mid-30-thousands but obtaining a degree from Fisk is worth every penny.
