Overall I had a good experience at this school. The unanimous point across all majors is to avoid BIO 1 and 2 at this school and take it at Northeast. The fail rate is +70% and the others that do pass have seen a 20-30 point adjustment on their grades just to get D- passing grade. That dept. has been under review/probation for that class and the professor seems to change every year or so. Otherwise, I had an excellent time with prob and stats(A), great professors in the exercise science, art,and english departments, and my federal work study job has been very enjoyable. Get excited about your major and get excited with your adviser about your major. This REALLY helped me getting into classes that I technically couldn't have taken yet but was given a permit to take them anyway, which really helped me finish faster. BE ALL OVER any paper work that you give the university. ALWAYS make 2 copies one for yourself and one to give. I've had a handful of times that would have been major problems had I not had my own copy. Best lesson learned: I had my GPA showing up incorrectly on my transcript on the registrar's online system(which they swore up and down could never be wrong). I didn't stop at that department, I emailed the Designee for Academic Affairs and she emailed me back that the system was in fact, wrong and the error was fixed. Also, check back on the status of any form you turn into financial aid every other day. After a bit they recognized my face/name and would do small favors, like push my fin. aid/loans through before anyone else was getting their's! Really learn to smile, be pleasant, and polite here; it will get you farther than you think and the staff really appreciates it.
Education Quality: A+, Campus Maintenance: C

Not worth the money. The quality of education is sub par with mostly busy work. Financial aid can be a headache to deal with and parking services is a ridiculous ripoff. The campus feels bland and cold, even in the warmer months. My first two years were at a school in Florida that is similar in size to ETSU in terms of students. However, that school had a greater sense of community with a much more interesting curriculum and helpful faculty and staff. I'm almost done with my undergrad work at ETSU and attended the last two years simply due to a lack of other options in the area (everything else is private and super expensive). My grad work will be done elsewhere. If ETSU is avoidable, I recommend going somewhere else and avoiding the headache that is ETSU.
