Tennessee state university also known as the land of golden sunshine in my opinion has a warm family feel environment. The student are close, teachers also have close relationships with the students. Since the classroom sizes are so small your able to get to know your fellow classmates & teachers better. I love my HBCU!
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
The tips I would give to future students is to stay focused on your studies & you'll be fine. TSU offers tutoring sessions & some teachers even meet up with you in the mornings before class or even after class to help. Take advantage of every opportunity!
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Only you will be able to determine the academic rigor. The academics are what you make it. If you choose to participate in class & do your homework , study for tests, etc. then you will find that the academics are excellent . The first step is finding a teacher that will work beat for you., you will be able to do this by looking up each professor on rate my professor.com .
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I love the dorm life! It's the first step to getting the full college experience. There are rules that you as a student will have to respect but if your fine with the rules then dorm life will be great. Each dormitory has a study area that is nice & quit . But if you prefer the library that is great also.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Food & dinning isn't always great. It's like cafeteria food . But when your hungry & on a budget , those free meals don't sound to bad. Some days there will be selections that meet your liking but other days they will not.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
TSU always has events ! Everyday there is something going on . Weather it's hide & go seek on campus amongst the students or weather it's a party off campus . Or a fashion show or seminar on campus. Talents shows, etc. the list goes on & on. You'll never be bored as long as your social.

Every year TSU has an annual homecoming week. This is where all the students & even alumni come out & celebrate the whole week together . There is an activity planned everyday from morning to night . & a usual location would be the student center & court yard . Those are the two spots that all student go to chill , relax & Socialize at any time of the day.

TSU is for anyone . There's no Discrimination. We're all a big family regardless.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Clubs & activities are great if you participate! I would encourage all students to get involved with something! It's how you meet friends & get more comfortable being on campus. Knowing that your apart of a great organization makes you feel welcomed.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Greek life is fascinating . Whenever the Greek cone out & step in the courtyard , the whole student body is there to watch. This is when everyone gets HYPE! Cheering & screaming for the ones we know showing off their talent & even laughing amounts each other at the jokes that the geek chant out.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Campus safety is a must & I feel like TSU enforcing safety . We have these text message alerts that sends to our phones that alerts us about any crime that happens on campus. But everyone knows not to wonder off around campus at night.
