Attending Tennessee Technological University from 2010 to 2015 as a biology student was a rewarding experience. The biology program provided a strong balance of classroom instruction and hands-on laboratory work, which helped build both scientific knowledge and practical skills. The professors were approachable, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in student success, often offering guidance on research opportunities, internships, and future career paths.

One of the biggest strengths of Tennessee... Read More Tech during that time was the smaller class sizes compared to larger universities. It was easier to develop relationships with professors and classmates, creating a supportive and collaborative learning environment. The campus atmosphere in Cookeville was welcoming, and the surrounding community made student life enjoyable.

The biology department offered valuable undergraduate research opportunities and challenging coursework that encouraged critical thinking and problem-solving. The labs were engaging and gave students practical experience working with scientific equipment and conducting experiments.

Although some upper-level biology courses were demanding, the academic support and dedication of the faculty helped students stay motivated and succeed. Balancing coursework, labs, and extracurricular activities required strong time management skills, but the experience prepared students well for graduate school and professional careers.

Overall, Tennessee Tech provided a solid education and a positive college experience between 2010 and 2015. It was an excellent choice for students pursuing biology or other science-related fields.

Overall, my experience at this college was mixed. The classes themselves were generally solid, and I felt like most of my professors did a good job delivering the material. Academically, it gave me a decent foundation and I was able to learn what I needed to.

That said, support for my major鈥攅specially for students interested in going into the medical field鈥攚as lacking. There weren鈥檛 many resources, advising felt limited, and it often seemed like you had to figure things out on your own if you were... Read More aiming for something more specialized like pre-med.

The campus environment also felt a bit like a 鈥渟mall pond.鈥� Socially, I didn鈥檛 always feel like I found my group, and I didn鈥檛 love the overall peer culture. It may be a better fit for some people, but it wasn鈥檛 the strongest part of my experience.

Athletics and school spirit were another area where the college fell short. Compared to other schools, sports just weren鈥檛 a big presence, which can impact the overall energy and sense of community on campus.

Finally, like many colleges, there was not many scholarships based on GPA or merit. They only care about the financials of your parents. I had several peers who had a terrible GPA and they were getting paid to go to college. I entered college at the top of my class and maintained my GPA, but that did not matter.

Overall, it鈥檚 a decent school academically, but it lacks strong support systems, campus energy, and opportunities for students who are looking for more competitive or specialized paths.

Tennessee Tech University offers an inclusive education with its small class sizes in upper division courses, option to do independent study, rigorous coursework in STEM-related and liberal arts classes, and instructors who focus on honing in on their teaching expertise instead of focusing solely on research. TTU prepared me to think critically, be proactive, communicate effectively, and problem solve. The education I received here made me a well-rounded job seeker with "soft" skills that enhanced... Read More my on the job performance and led to better opportunities because I can think creatively and logically and find ways to adapt and evolve in an ever changing job market.

Tennessee Tech. University is great overall. The years that I attained were when the university was doing some major updates to things on campus e.g. new fitness center, parking lots, and other things. The major I graduated in was new so resources were limited. However, the administrative side of my major was really helpful to find us jobs and so on that we could do in our major. They worked well with us, especially those who transferred from other colleges like myself. The staff would go as far... Read More as to substitute a class for an internship so we could graduate on time.

As a mechanical engineer and now MBA student, I encountered countless situations where peers and professors marginalized my ideas, made me feel inadequate, and fostered an environment of disrespect simply because I was different. In group projects, I often landed "secretarial" roles of recording group meetings and contacting companies with questions because it was deemed busy work unworthy of their time. With only 2 other women in my classes of 50 or more, I largely felt excluded from the "boys club"... Read More if my interests strayed from hunting, cars, or video games. Seldom did I even have the opportunity to become friends with my classmates because they viewed me one of two ways, either "dating material" or completely invisible. They would try to flirt with me then ignore my existence if my relationship status conflicted with their intentions. When professors called on me in class it was to answer a heat transfer question about hair straighteners or to explain why moms were drawn to mini vans. Even when students or teachers meant well, their way of thinking is so turned towards gender stereotypes that they did not even realize the underlying sexism in their words. I just hope that they are able to broaden the spectrum of diversity in the engineering department and encourage tolerance for different ideas regardless of the person's demographic.

I think TN Tech is a great school. I made a lot of friends and learned a lot. I wish I could have gone to Vanderbilt, based on what I know about their undergrad classes now, I feel like I would have had a better chance at understanding a lot of the material better. Everything taught in college will be of benefit, even topics that seem least applicable at first might be important for understanding something a lot more complicated. More expensive schools don't mean they provide better education, but... Read More I recommend trying to get into the best schools first. There are a lot of scholarships and stipends available, sometimes it might just take a little bit of digging to find them. But TN Tech is still excellent, and very affordable, and I strongly recommend it for science and engineering.

One of the biggest pros of the graduate program is the faculty. They are always willing to answer any questions and respond to correspondence quickly. I think that their accessibility is one of the reasons that I have been as successful as I have been in the grad program. The assignments are always within reason and are geared toward preparing me not only to pass licensure exams but be a competent and successful therapist. One of the cons about the program is the lack of financial aid for students... Read More like myself. I am a non-traditional student who works full-time and while I am willing to fund my education, it would greatly benefit me if there were more grants and scholarships available to graduate students in my field.
