This once good school has grown too fast. Compared to when I attended, there is way too much emphasis on trying to be an upper level football program which it will never be.Most of the kids walking around campus day and night look more like welfare recipients. I sat in on what used to be college freshman classes and it reminded me more of fifth grade but without any respect for the instuctor. I am told that after the financial freebees run out that the third and fourth year classes are better.The perceived level of crimes at old MTSU is harming its goal of attracting top students. Unless these top students are from tough inner city environments this place is very intimidating. on the plus side the physical plants itself is impressive. As usual we still get high marks for flight,teacher education, and now recording engineering. The music, math, English, and language departments badly need some of that money going to athletics.This is a national shame, and I was there on a football scholarship the first two years.
