Major: Art & Design Department (This Major's Salary over time)
This is my first semester at MTSU, and I can't wait to graduate; just so I can get the hell away from here. The academics are sub-par, and half the teachers don't know what they are even teaching.

You aren't going to be challenged educationally at MTSU, all you have to do is show up for class and you can pass. The art department is somewhat great, but most of the teachers are just

artists with tenures

In other words, they don't care about teaching you, just passing you so their reviews look good on paper.

When it comes to the student body, it is terrible. There are three types of students; rich, snobby kids who couldn't go to a fancier school because of their parents, ghetto black people from Memphis, and lazy hippy druggies.

The safety at MTSU is a major problem. Most of the black men you see walking around, especially at night, are NOT students.

There are people who pack guns and knives and bring them to classes, last year someone put hypodermic needles in the vending machines, cars are always being broken into, stuff gets stolen, and at least once a week someone is raped or assaulted; most of the time by black males.

There is an undercurrent of drug use at MTSU, and not the typical "college stuff" like pot or Ecstasy, but rather cocaine, meth, heroin, and other things. Most of the students come to class hungover, high, and not caring.

In essence, MTSU is not a serious college for people interested in education; but rather a party place for people to receive financial aid and spend it on booze, drugs, and fancy cars.
