At Tusculum College the schedule here is different. For 18 days, We have one class at a time. My first class was psychology 101 this year. Each class is 3 hours long. You could have a morning or afternoon class depending on your schedule. I learned so much in my class. Yes it was stressful and it was hard; But college is never easy. With only one class to concentrate on you don't have to worry about other classes. You only concentrate on one. I believe you learn a lot more that having 4 or more classes at the same time like other colleges. Tusculum is truly a one of a kind college.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I love all my new friends here at Tusculum. It is really easy to bond with people here. It is not a small or large college. It is just right. All the staff and faculty are here to help you. I have never had any trouble with any students or teachers. The faculty here is awesome. They are so kind and considerate. There are many varieties of clubs here. It is so easy to make friends and find what club suits your needs. Of course there are plenty of sports related activities. The student life coordinators plan plenty of activities for the students to enjoy. The House I live in is awesome. I have made friends with everyone in my house. There are also other houses and residence halls that students live in. It is wonderful to be here.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
All colleges are expensive. At Tusculum it is a bit pricier than other colleges in East Tennessee. I had plenty of scholarship money and other grants. It was so worth coming here. The professors are here to help you with whatever you need. Some of them are tough. You really have to study and study for your class. Each is different for each person. I feel that i'm getting a great education here and I know all my scholarship money is not being wasted.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
If you come to Tusculum be prepared for anything. The weather this year has been a little crazy. So if you plan on coming here bring some light jackets and maybe a coat to put in your closet. Be prepared for all your classes. Come with pencils, paper, and of course your homework from the night before. Although at Tusculum we have a computer system that we submit our work into. But You need to be safe and print a hard copy as well. Sometimes your work might get lost. Computers are not perfect. Study tons and tons. You will not pass the class if you do not study. Manage your time. College life can be hectic. You have to keep up with what homework assignments you have, club meeting, and maybe sport practice.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
If you want a close knit community this college is for you. This college is great if you want only one class at a time.
