Best HBCU in the land! Just like all colleges it has its ups and downs and a lot can be improved. Getting in contact with admissions can be very difficult and I did not know I was accepted until months later, but after that mistake all was great. They make you feel very welcome as you adjust to college life and the upperclassmen are very welcoming. Everyone wants you to succeed which makes it a great atmosphere. The athletics are great and no game or party is dull.
I received two Masters Degrees from TSU. My first in Administration and Supervision, my second in Speech Pathology. I had great experiences with my first Masters and enjoyed working with the Education department. However, my second Master's degree the experience was completely different. Mary Dale Fitzgerald was very condescending to me and even accused me of plagiarism. The online professors were not prepared, and classes were canceled or not held a majority of the time. Because of this, I was not prepared to take my Praxis exam, resulting in me not passing the test by just a few points.
Knowing what I know now, I wish I had filed complaints. I do not want any others to experience what I had experienced. Since then I have earned an Ed.S degree from a different University. When you attend a University with competent and professional instructors it is a reminder of how unprofessional the Speech Path department is at TSU.

I like the experience at Tennessee State University. Ive made friends and learned more than I did in high school. I would say the food, room and board could be better for the price. I wish the TSU and other HBCU's had an actual class offered or required for seniors to display opportunities and wisdom on what is available after graduation. No one gives you actual insight on what it is like to graduate and have absolutely no idea on what's to come next or options on what do next for the next chapter of your life. How are students suppose to be financially stable coming out college? How are students being successfully prepared for the future if not given guidance. TSU is a great school to attend overall for many different reasons.Of course there are several things that should be fixed like any other college, but overall I couldn't have picked a better university to attend.
