MTSU vs. APSU: A Tale of Two College Visits

He said by Jyzy Stanton

Overall, in my opinion, Middle Tennessee State University was the better school visit because the campus was clean, the tour guides were nice to us, and the food was better. What I liked about the MTSU campus was the buildings were very nice, the dorms were centrally located and co-ed, the campus was clean and seemed to be a good environment. For example, when we went into the College of Mass Communication, we got to see the radio station, the television station, and the animation studio, where the students got to work on projects like for DreamWorks, which is known for its How to Train Your Dragon series, and Pixar which is known for movies like Finding Nemo. Next, the three tour guides at MTSU were very helping and gave us a lot of information, where everything was and how it worked. Because our tour guides were also students, they shared their own student experiences and showed us everything from the health center to the DMV. The tour guides were really friendly and answered all our questions.  The foot we were given at MTSU was good. We had a variety of foods available to us in their McCallie cafeteria, including pizza, home cooked food, burgers and sandwiches, and desserts like ice cream, cookies, Jell-O™, and cakes. Finally, I’m planning on apply to MTSU for college because I think it will be a good place for me. They have the best nursing college with a competent staff of teachers, and the environment seemed like a good one for learning.

Austin Peay State University was the better school visit because we got to see the campus buildings from the inside, like the dorms and the admissions building, not just the outside, the tour guides spoke up and weren’t afraid to interact with the students, and the dining experience was healthier. What I liked about APSU’s campus tour was that we were allowed inside the buildings like when we went inside the science building we saw artifacts like the alligator snapping turtle and the peacock, as well as the “Elements Café” where they designed the menu to look like periodic table of elements, and the classroom was comfortable with good chairs, laptops, and electrical outlets so students can charge up their pads, laptops, or cell phones while listening to lectures. At APSU, the two tour guides did a great job showing us around. They answered all our questions, including telling us about student life which included everything from telling us about the sororities and fraternities, telling us how it would be to work on and off campus, and describing what we could expect from professors, classes, and homework. The food boxes at APSU were healthy and included grilled chicken sandwiches, veggie wraps, and roast beef. The meal also came with chips, a pickle, and a cookie. We were given bottled water and got a chance to win more than one food box thanks to Mr. Bethune’s college trivia. Overall, in my opinion, I intend to apply to APSU which will be a good school for me because not only is it closer to home, but also as a freshman, I would get to stay on campus and have a car.
