The so-called administrators of this school are boneheads. If they determine to use a certain degree standard as their argument to deny a legitimate request, they don't even care if the standard is not applicable to the request. They just keep repeating the invalid "standard" because it makes them feel powerful, and they have no other recourse. Since they are wrong. Dean, provost, president, doesn't matter. They don't care. Blissfully ignorant and arrogant.
So what has happened in Murfreesboro since then? Well, according to the more recent alums I have talked to and this website, lots. To you who are now attending, my gosh I wish I had it so good. Dig up some old pics taken of the campus in the 70s. Notice any improvements? And the Aerospace Program- night and day difference. In short MTSU is doing a better job of educating its students and providing for their needs. Oh, to be young again.
So, MT, as I believe you now like to call yourself, you have taken many steps forward and a few steps back. Keep up the good work.
Writing based on my time at MTSU 2010-2012. I loved most of my classes and professors. I did a lot of looking up reviews before hand to make sure I got the most out of the courses I took. However as other people have admitted, the parking tickets are a bit insane and some of the RAs at the time could've been a little more inclusive, I felt like. I went for Recording Industry: Audio Engineer path, and while most of the classes were fascinating and teachers that sometimes admittedly went on strangely, worldly, fun tangents that helped me grow to think about things other than just music differently. It was a mostly fun time, especially being in Band of Blue. Professor Cornish will always be my favorite teacher in all of my 14 1/2 years in the TN Education system! However, while I had all this fun, I will say that some of my RIM specific teachers unfortunately made me realize that without connections even as just an engineer, you've got nothing in the industry. I'm not the best networker with new people. My social anxiety and other mental illnesses make it kind of hard to want to go talk to new people sometimes, and as someone with no family connections and friend who barely had any recording industry musical talent, let alone connections, I just found this all really discouraging. I still kept at it as I had been playing more instruments and recording more music I had made than anyone I had ever known since I was a young kid, goofing off with a tiny Casio keyboard. Still, one day it kind of caught up with me. While I passed most of my classes, I had been struggling to do much better than Cs in the majority because I had lost focus. It came time to have a required meeting with an adviser, who I had never met or spoken to before, and he basically just said "you're gonna have to start over." Not any real advice about which courses specifically I needed to improve, or anything like that because some classes through out my first 2 years, I excelled at and got A's in. Just start over; good luck and have a nice day, practically. I was so frustrated that any effort I was putting in went out the door. I had been paying for my own school since the second semester of my Freshman year and to hear that ruined any sense of motivation I had. I started to skip classes out of frustration, lost a lot of my love of creating music, and eventually just dropped out completely because I knew I was wasting my money accruing debt through loans and just directly paying for classes with summer income. So I left and immediately returned to the company I had been working with seasonally since graduating high school and worked on call until they gave me a full time position as a teller. I worked up the ranks to IT Help Desk, and am still here improving all the time. So the point is, I'm okay now, but those two moments ruined a huge part of who I was for the majority of my life. I hope no one in that program or any other experiences that kind of thing, because it was really disappointing. I don't think that the school is deserving of the 1 star rating for the petty reasons people have been saying here, but I can't really forgive it for what happened to me to give it a 5 either. Under the right circumstances, I could easily see it potentially being a 5 for someone else, but for me, because of that entire experience, I have to go with 3.
Professors have been great. Administration is a mess, I have spent so much time running circles trying to get financial aid, schedules, etc. sorted out. I have been disappointed in so much incorrect information. I feel like I was mislead with information, by the admins, that enticed me to go here and it was all false information. I have a 4.0 so I am doing more than my part.
First off, in the interest of full disclosure, I am a member of the class of ’75, so this is a truly ancient reflection. I transferred from a junior college in Fla. so I could continue my Aerospace major and receive a Bachelor’s degree. It was a wise decision. Classes were sized right, instructors truly dedicated and the people friendly. I have nothing but fond memories and good things to say about my experience.
I am a MTSU graduator but i did only take my last year of study there i was a transfer student! I can say that people who work in the financial aid department specially people who mentioned that they worked for 17 years in this dept. they know nothing about there job. Literally, nothing at all. however new people who solved my problem know way better! other than that its a great school
Of course it does seem there are some real issues that need to be addressed. The complaints about inept administration are distressing. Worse was the comment about crime- knife and gun- yikes! And then there is the common complaint running through all colleges (at least the ones my kids went to). Advisors don’t keep the students on track and the necessary courses aren’t available when they are needed. No excuses regarding the course availability, but by the time a student is a junior they should be able to read the college handbook and figure out what they need to graduate. I mean if they can’t …
