My experience at ETSU was fantastic. The campus is great and easy to navigate with very descriptive signage throughout. I never had an issue finding my classes, which is a problem at other campuses I have been on. The quality of instruction from the professors was also top notch. Every professor I had was eager to help any issues I had and was always available in the evenings. One of the classes I took also helped prepare me for the workforce by simulating interviews and job applications. ETSU is...

East Tennessee State University was a great college for me to attend. I was able to graduate with very little student debt because of the schools affordability. I graduated with numerous job prospects and felt prepared for my career field. While attending ETSU I did both online and in person classes. All of my teachers were engaging and my admission counselor was very helpful in helping my choose classes based on major in interest. I do think there could be more ways for transfer students to get... Read More involved on campus or find out about one campus activities when first starting. It seemed a lot was geared toward freshman but not as much transfer students. For this reason I did not participate in many clubs or on campus activities while there.

Overall, I really enjoyed my time at East Tennessee State University. Initially I chose ETSU because it was one of the cheapest options in the region, and several friends were going to attend there. I lived on campus my first year, and I lived in a nearby apartment less than 5 minutes away during the remainder of my time at ETSU. The campus itself is beautiful, and there was always something to do. Johnson City has all the amenities of a small city but not the traffic and confusion that often comes...

I graduated with my Bachelor's and Master's degree in Accounting at ETSU. I was able to study and pass the CPA exam during my master's program, and I felt that the academics at ETSU really helped me in my studies. However, the Master's degree should have been more tailored to helping students pass the CPA exam in my opinion. More Excel classes should be required since that is what I've used in every job I've had after graduation.

Overall, ETSU is amazing and definitely worth at least a tour if you get the opportunity. If I had to do it all again, I would definitely choose ETSU again.

ETSU is an excellent choice for medical careers, not so much for any other. Most people who are doing engineering degrees do start at ETSU, but end up going to UT to finish. My experience with a business degree was disappointing. They have students helping you pick your courses instead of actual counselors, which almost led me to a six month extension of courses, due to their negligence. However, as mentioned before, excellent medical career choice with JCMC and the VA hospital across the street... Read More for training.

I had a really good experience at ETSU because of a few professors in my department. I loved their teaching style and their lessons really stay with me even now. I would say overall, the academics weren't very challenging and I didn't feel very engaged at the university. It is very large and there are many people who commute and don't live on campus. I think I would have preferred a closer knit community. I also wrote for the school newspaper, which was fun and I loved that aspect of my college experience.... Read More I did not have a good experience with the advising at ETSU. I felt the advisors were stretched too thin and I got the wrong information from them at times that led to it taking an extra semester to graduate. However, there are some instructors there I absolutely loved.

As an undergrad at ETSU, I absolutely loved the small town feel of Johnson City. Everyone was very friendly, I felt safe on and around campus, and everything I needed was near by. This was my first experience away from home, and it was a great place to be. The community and culture was encouraging. I will always have a fondness for my time at this school. I personally struggled to find a job after graduation, but I never made use of the career services. I recommend students using all the services... Read More campus has to offer!

Hands down ETSU was the best decision for my undergraduate degree. After some trail and error I found the degree that would set me on the career path of my dreams. I focused in Park and Recreation Management and I couldn't have made a better decision! From the time I entered my major I found that the professors were great and they really want what is best for their students. I would find myself spending extra time in the classrooms and office hours just to soak up as much information as possible.... Read More As a recent graduate I am still in contact with my advisors and they give me advice on career choices and job opportunities, I can't ask for a better experience as an undergraduate. With the help of my professors, I have gained confidence in myself as a leisure service provider and I can not wait to get out and share my knowledge with everyone. I without a doubt recommend ETSU especially the Sport and Leisure Management program (SALM).

love my university, and of course, my university is ETSU. I will admit that I had some animosity towards my major and the school overall when I found out my graduation would be delayed. Almost every department has this problem of not informing students well enough of "ladder classes" that are only offered in certain semesters, and one class will be a prerequisite for another. It's very common to meet students who are going 5 or 6 years for their 4-year-degree just because of some scheduling problem.... Read More That being said, I have also learned so much about myself at ETSU. My previous university was Virginia Highlands Community College, and when I first started VHCC right out of high school, I was not ready for the college setting at all. I was able to work on my study skills and buckle down eventually, so when I arrived at ETSU after getting my 2-year-degree from VHCC, I felt ready to really step out into what felt like a "real" college. And ETSU is a real college, make no doubt about it. The best thing about ETSU is the fact that, it is exactly what you make of it. It sounds cliche, but ETSU is fortunately true of this. If you attend class regularly and get to know your professors and put forth an honorable effort, it will pay off for you. The one day you stay after class to talk to your professor might be the one day he/she brings up a potential internship. But likewise, if you become a "face in the crowd" and just float through your classes without ever getting involved, you might do okay, but you won't really progress as much as others.

East Tennessee State University provided great academic support. All of the education classes provided information that I use daily as a teacher. The professors were inspirational and dedicated. Financial aid at the college was not as helpful. The process was confusing and the lines were always long. I also did not receive any help in finding a job once I had earned my degree. There were no contacts with school systems or superintendents. Once I got my diploma, I had no further contact with ETSU... Read More staff.

The communication - storytelling program combines the rigor of a well developed and focused communication curriculum with advanced studies of storytelling as both a craft and a profession. Courses in communication theory, ethics and an examination of ethnography help to integrate the concepts of post modern communication for all students. Studies of storytelling history, performance traditions, and applied storytelling provide a solid foundation for ongoing immersions in performance development and... Read More practice. Opportunity to learn from and engage with Storytellers of National and International reputation is created through various institutes and adjunct courses. The program has strong ties with the International Storytelling Center which is only minutes away. Students are provided the opportunity to both attend and support the National Storytelling Festival each October.
