I graduated in 2006, when the university had only 8000 students, and now it has 15000. There were not as many majors as other schools in Tennessee, but now the majors have doubled and the school has doubled in size.
Those who go there now are lucky. When I went there the acceptance rate was not as ...

The campus seems okay but the Davis dorm apartments are horrid, or at least mine is. Was NOT cleaned at all when I arrived, I have a spider infestation, the shower, tub, and drain don't work properly, and the thermostat doesn't work. Luckily the maintenance crew is super helpful and responds quite q...

This review is for ETSU speech and hearing.
I can not in good conscience make a recommendation for ETSU speech and hearing clinic. The Department staff was rude and insensitive to my request for my son to not be observed by students. I made this request clear in the completed packet I filled out a...

If you have another option, take it and run. Everything at this school is a thousand times more complicated than it should be. The administration often seems unorganized and it's a pain to get anything done. I was told by a faculty member that ETSU is first and foremost a business. You may get an e...

I love ETSU! Everything and everyone has been great (except for financial aid and parking, but show me a university where those things are actually decent). I got my first degree here and will have my masters from here in the next year, and wouldn't choose to go anywhere else in TN!

East Tennessee State University is one of our oldest lantern-led tour, thought to be one of the most haunted college campuses of the South. Visitors to ETSU while on tour with us learn all about long standing campus traditions and stories along with the history and mysteries found there. Our Haunted...

Bad location (far from international airport and big cities) and town itself doesn't have much to do. The nightlife is fun, since it's basically a party town/university. I had mostly good professors - some didn't seem to care and/or didn't put in much effort, but at the end of the day, it's your edu...

Great University! I really enjoyed every second of my time at ETSU. I graduated in December '15 with a degree in Political Science. All of the professors that I had contact with seemed to really care about their students. The campus itself is beautiful and it's not uncommon to see various forms of w...

What a fine university! From Kentucky, we went with our high school fastpitch softball team to play a tournament in a nearby park. About 300 high school girls were there that weekend. It was odd no softball team coaches/personnel thought of promoting their program there.

My last private, smaller college was a dumpster compared to this place. ETSU has so many resources like clubs, everyday tutoring, free movies, and free mental health care along with other health services. But if you're a party person, this place isn't for you. Staying off-campus is cheaper, they upc...

The university is alright. Students are extremely friendly and helpful! Instructors are hit-or-miss, but most are really good. Parking, however, is not so good. Too much faculty parkings! Students have a really hard time finding parkings around the campus. The financial aid department is horrible! E...

I won't say it was a bad school... but it wasn't good. I attended for a year before deciding to transfer out, only to have them lose my paperwork twice, and at the most inconvenient of times. Guess who lost ALL of their scholarships and had to take a semester off from any kind of education due to th...

ETSU is decent at best, to put it simply. If you are coming here for a STEM program, don't unless you have no other option. Nursing and business are the only programs the college excels in. The engineering and science programs are jokes. They receive much less funding, or at least not enough, and th...

I mean it is a good school, nothing spectacular. I sort of wish I went somewhere else sometimes. Sometimes I'm glad I go here. I've had professors who have changed the way I see the world, opening up doors that I would never have gotten from not coming to ETSU....But I've also had plenty of adjunct...

Adminstration is unprofessional and needlessly difficult. Transcript requests are delayed and unorganized. No interdepartmental communication, leaving the student to repeatedly push for needs or requests to every department at nauseum. Imaginary "holds" on accounts that have to be removed several ti...

As a parent you will deal with way to much rhetoric dealing with the financial aid process. You send documents, these loose documents. You give them tax papers one year and the next year that want the exact documents and claim they can't use them again and access them because they are "sensitive". Y...

I graduated from ETSU in December of 2015. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at this school. I can only account for the Computer Science department as that is what my degree is through, but I would advise any one considering a CS degree to seriously consider ETSU.

Skip this place. It was turmoil with the administration from the very day I got accepted.
