Austin Peay State University Reviews
Rating 3.69 out of 5 1,480 reviews
In my opinion, APSU is pretty great in academics and flexibility for students. Great college for military and non-traditional students; professors are generally pretty understanding and can accommodate you during hard/busy times. I've had many professors who are extremely knowledgeable and passionate in their subjects and it influences me to appreciate them as well, and even hold a lasting interest after the semester ends. There are plenty of housing options - if you live close enough you may even save the ~9000 dollars for a dorm -, dorms and near-campus appartments are available in the areas surrounding APSU. Student body is also diverse and accepting - I've made a few close friends! The campus is spacious but enough for everything to be a reasonable walk away. University management can be a bit unfair in their decisions (especially when cancelling classes and finals) but keeping good grades will make most campus-wide issues obsolete.
I really like this school! It may be small but there are plenty of seemingly rabid squirrels and feral cats and really, really big trees so I'm set. Classes are pretty great, too. Classes are (for the most part, but there's always wiggle room) well-taught and interesting. I've had some really good classes and professors, to the point that I look for certain professors just because I really like their teaching styles!
Austin Peay offers a lot of student activities, such as Greek Life, intramural sports, and outdoor group trips through their recreation department. Not only does Austin Peay offer those, as a student, you can always find something to do on campus. Free food, bake sales, and free items are handed out every first Friday of the month! Overall, Austin Peay is a great school that offers a lot for its size, however, if you don't like small schools, Austin Peay isn't for you.
