Simply getting registered for classes is an absolute headache. Financial aid is a mess and often gives conflicting information dependent upon who you speak with. Parking is a nightmare. When you're first accepted here, you're required to pay for and attend a useless orientation session, which is essentially a glorified pep rally.
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 education along the way, but their primary concern seems to revolve around money first, and students second. I feel like they bring students in, and right after they cash the check, they bail on them. Revitalizing their failed football program is more important than supporting students academic endeavors. While they work to build a brand new football stadium, some of the academic buildings are in need of serious upgrades.
There are some classes that will automatically fail students for the entire course if they submit late work for any reason at all. There are instructors that will encourage students to drop out. Their graduation rate is less than half, and yet services to support academics are severely underfunded or altogether lacking. Students are nothing more than a number to ETSU.
Beautiful landscapes. Art and things around to see this place is amazing Jrotc program, Art and many more.
I loved my experience here. I’m headed back this spring to start another degree program here.
The school is a complete joke. I've have had maybe 2 good professors, the rest, don't care one bit, The advisors are awful, administration sucks. Parking is horrid. I'm beyond excited to transfer away from here. DO NOT ATTEND ETSU.
Several professors (not all) seem as though they don't have the time to be bothered by students. Some are only there so that they can get research funding while treating students like little more than a burden that they are forced to deal with. Online classes cost more for some reason, even though you take those courses from home. Also, notice that only one recent review on here has been replied to - and that was over a year ago. They don't seem to care what anyone thinks.
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". You used them before with all the "sensitive" information. This red tape rhetoric is nothing but a hassle. You talk to one person and get one answer and talk to another and get another answer. We're going to be looking for another school for our daughter.
