Hey everyone, I've been looking into HBCUs lately and Tennessee State University caught my eye. I was wondering if anyone here could share their experiences or insight about the campus life, student diversity, and general atmosphere. Is it supportive and welcoming? Does it have strong programs in the sciences (the field area I want to major in)? Thanks a bunch!
Hey! Campus life at Tennessee State University is known for being vibrant and full of energy. There are always various campus events to check out, especially homecoming, which students say is an experience not to be missed!
As far as diversity goes, it is an HBCU, so there's a strong sense of community and pride among the students. Students typically find the atmosphere to be incredibly supportive, with students and faculty alike really pushing for everyone to succeed.
Regarding your interest in sciences, reaching out to professors in the departments you're most interested in, and maybe even the heads of those departments, would be the best way to learn how their offerings align with your interests. Talking to current students, if possible, would also help get you a clearer sense of what the learning environment is like in the science departments at TSU.
Good luck with your college search—TSU might give you just the environment you're looking for in an HBCU!
