When I first visited Tennessee State University, it made me change my perspective on college in general. Because of the tour, my mind was then set on an HBCU (Historically Black College University) The way they embodied and embraced family at the school, made me more comfortable with my decision on going. I recently just experienced orientation there in June, and I can definitely say it made me more confident with leaving home behind.
Honestly, there’s nothing I would change except maybe the distance away from home in Texas. Other than that, Tennessee State is truly the new home for me!

Tennessee State University is a fantastic university. Of course every HBCU has its struggles, but the community and family you find at Tennessee State is unlike anywhere else!
Being at Tennessee State University is definitely an experience, one that definitely is a dog-eat-dog world. My overall experience at Tennessee State University has been just ok. I've been able to make great connections and network for my job field, which has been really great. However, when it comes to important things such as housing, financial aid, and holds, I have found the university to be a bit lacking in terms of providing adequate help. I also feel as though my academia is lacking in difficulty and sometimes can cause me to feel as though I am not learning anything for my future.
