This review is for all of the parents out there in cyberspace who might be doing google searches on different Universities for their children. 

I make this review out of peace and common decency. 

For the love of all that is sacred and holy on the planet do not send a child to this University. 

Please. 

This is one o the lowest ranked Universities going.  It is a fourth tier school. 

This University costs more to attend than any other University within the Tennessee Board of Regents. 

The lady who is the president of his University is much more so for sports than she is academics.  She basically speaks of that in the local paper and everything.  The local paper is called the Commercial Appeal and it has an online version. 

I have taken classes at this University which were nothing more than slide shows shown on a power point and nothing more. 

I have taken classes at this University which have been taught by folks who can barely speak English.  I have googled these folks and found that they did all of their coursework in their native tongue and not English.  Had I more life experience or travel under my belt I maybe could understand them, I guess.  I feel bad stating this part, but it is really hard to understand a total ESL worthy University instructor and all.  Sorry. 

This University is just far too close for comfort to one of the more dangerous neighborhoods of the city of Memphis.  And, please keep in mind that the city of Memphis is one of the more dangerous cities in the nation for most everything. 

For some reason the athletes of this school are catered to at all costs.  One of the more recent ones (and this was in the local paper) did not academically qualify to even enroll here but someone pulled something with the NAACP and he was let in for free to play sports!  Holy cow. 

If you have a learning disability or ADD or even ADHD or Aspergers, then good luck.  The lady who runs the Student Disability Services has a BA in Drama and a MS in Children's Counseling but if you look her up you will see that the University she claims to have graduated from does not offer a MS in Children's Counseling.  So good luck there.  I have dyslexia and am not really proud of it.  But one meeting with Susan C Tepaske made me just up and decide to have nothing to do with her and her offices at all and so I now do a mix of on line and campus based courses.  Weirdest experience I have ever had was dealing with this lady and she was also under the influence when I spoke with her which made it all the more scary.  I also just loved being told that in her opinion, I hadn't dyslexia at all and that she was not sure if that even existed.  That was funny to me what with most everyone knowing what dyslexia is for goodness sakes.  So, if you are a parent with a LD child or what have you, then leave this school be. 

Please parents of the mid south, send your children to any other one of the Tennessee Board of Regents Schools.  You will be better for it and your children will be too.  Just because you live here does not mean that you have to send your child here.  My parents said I can transfer and I am working even extra hard to make that happen because this school is just crap.  Take it from me.  I have a 3.5 gpa from nothing to speak of at all, I just have really learned next to nothing on the state's dime because I did well on the ACT and all of that crap.  Whay should I bother going here if I have and can honestly say that I have learned next to nothing?  MTSU here I come mo fo's!
