Great school, I recently completed my Bachelor of Science Degree and would recommend Austin Peay State University to everyone that doesn't want a grade given to them but earned. The professors are great giving you the tools you need to pass within your major and the front office is amazing. If you want proper guidance and a great education; give Austin Peay a shot. I give this school my highest and strongest recommendation! GO PEAY!
I personally would not recommend Austin Peay, especially if you are a commuter. Unfortunately there is not even enough parking to accommodate the commuter students. Most of the professors are decent. It is extremely difficult to get any help from any of the University services, often times I have not received help or answers at all. Overall they just don t support their students like I feel they should. If you re looking for a cheap college in montgomery county this is could be an option for you but just remember that you get what you pay for.
Kind of middle of the road here... I don't know what to make of the college but most students here do seem to be lacking in their affiliated fields of study. Also, don't think you will learn anything here worth your money due to the faculty being overstretched in their apprecticeships and usage of state allotted funds and funding through tuition. You can learn more on your own to be honest.
I came to Austin Peay for the Southeastern Journalism Conference in 2016. I loved the campus and just existing in Clarksville. Very beautiful. The school didn't really focus on the conference theme, but I still won 1st place in Op-Ed writing so of course I'm happy! Very cool San-Francisco type feel.
I came here back in the summer of 2019 for a Gear Up TN trip. I'm a highschool student, and that trip was more for fun than to persuade us to go to APSU, but I really want to go to this college when I graduate. We stayed in the apartments, and had loads of fun. The food there is delicious . Highly recommend, even though I'm not a student here yet
THEY ONLY CARE ABOUT MONEY!!!!!! Not people. I attended a Track Meet for High School students at this sorry excuse of a university and of course they charged money. That's fine. But it was a rainy day and there is a "Club" area that is the only area covered. Being that it wasn't a College event no "Club" members were present so parents and kids were taking shelter there. THEY shut down the Track meet to kick those families out of this area and when asked why THEY stated that's just the decision they made. THEY said this to my face while I'm holding my 2 year old girl in my arms. I was visiting from Michigan to see my son run in Tennessee so I didn't want to just miss it. This shows just how they feel about people at this University. Terrible people here. I wish I got the name of the main coach doing the speaking so I could put her heartless self on blast.
So I'm on the middle of the road with this college. I had gone here for years, but suffered a seizure back in Spring 2019. This caused me to withdraw from all my classes since I had no way to catch up before midterms, which were happening the week of my return. I now cannot return to classes, and finish my last bit of my associates, until I pay back APSU themselves. Now it's understandable that they hold my transcripts until it's paid, but unreasonable that the payments they make cannot be lower. What made APSU so great, to me, was their art department. I loved all the professors that taught here, and they did care about my well-being when I did have my seizure. Even more core-classed professors did their hardest to work around my recovery. It's just a shame that I cannot return to college until I pay the college themselves back when I am unable to even begin the payment due to my income.
A great school that has inspired me in many ways in my life. Though there are others whom dislike this school, there are many different programs to help you achieve to be what you want in the future. You are able to change your focus if you like a different subject than your original. At first I wanted to go to a art college and only have art 24/7, but Austin Peay helped me see that I could do other things as well. I've been going there since my years of middle school to learn about art. Now I'm in my senior year of high school and the university, as well as the connections I've made there, has won me over. I hope I can achieve my dream and I hope others are able to do the same.
It's been an awesome experience studying here, so much love and smiles. The school thrives on good culture and tolerates no discrimination. Teaching and non-teaching staff are well coordinated and they put students success first. I'll recommend it at all times.
I ve attended APSU twice now. Once was back in 2011 and I returned last year. I was considered a transfer student and had transcripts from 5 other colleges. APSU took some of my classes but most of them were Only considered electives. At my last school, I took some extremely difficult classes but they didn t transfer over because they weren t considered upper divisions courses there but are at APSU. The course descriptions are almost identical to one another yet APSU is requiring me to retake these courses. I refuse to keep taking classes I ve already taken because it seems to me that this school is full of greed and all APSU cares about is how to make their money. I ve now started my search into a new college going into the next semester.
