Austin Peay State University

Pros: Professors (especially Psychology (my bias!) Brand New Science Building and University Center
Cons: Same as any University...Financial Aid Office and Registration (although it is improving greatly) Not enough to do for on campus students

I attended APSU from 1994 through 1999. You would think that I would have more then one Masters degree in that amount of time! Alas, I only got one degree, in Counseling. However, the self growth that I achieved in those 5 years was priceless.

Pros: Affordable, pretty campus, good curriculum
Cons: smoking outside of buildings

I first learned about Austin Peay State University while living in North Carolina. I had expressed an interest in finding a nursing program and was told that APSU had the top program in the state. Lucky for me, my husband and I were to be relocated to...

Pros: Small-town feel, beautiful campus, low tuition
Cons: Chanting "Lets go Peay!"

I remember second guessing my decision to attend Austin Peay when I was sitting in freshman orientation and the Seniors led us in a "Lets go Peay!" chant. I remember thinking, "Are we really saying Lets GO 'Pee'??" "Am I the only one who finds this humo ...

Pros: Great professors, excellent education
Cons: Too much focus on the classical, none on the modern

I can't imagine a better place to get an education than at the Music Department at APSU. My husband just graduated with a vocal music ed degree and this is my fifth year working on an instrumental music ed degree. Personally I have to say that the...

Pros: Small class size and a few decent professors.
Cons: Students do not actively seek participation in campus development.

I am currently a senior here at AP. When I first got here to school, it was beautiful. Trees and grass everywhere. Then, things rapidly changed. A tornado ripped through campus in 1999, destroying some of the beauty. Pile that in with a rush of...

Pros: good selection of classes
Cons: good classes are filled quickly

At the beginning of the spring semester I decided to re-enroll in school I chose Austin Peay, because it is close to my home and it's also affordable. I paid dearly though. I was told in Admissions that my credits from Hinds Community College in...

Pros: ?
Cons: Uneducated graduates, disorganized admissions staff

After receiving SIX letters from Austin Peay State University telling me I had been accepted, they called to let me know they had received my application for admission and that I should hear from them shortly. They are very disorganized. One of my...

Pros: I've found none
Cons: Lack of knowledge in Admissions

I'd like to state my opinion about the admissions department at Austin Peay. It's terrible if you're a transfer student. I transferred in 1997 from a junior college in Florida after completing my Associate's degree. On the application it states that...

Pros: Close to base, campus on base, variety of majors/minors.
Cons: None, in my opinion.

-The service in the offices is fast, friendly and helpful.
-They have a wide, ever-expanding variety of majors and minors.
-It is close (10, 15 min) to Ft. Campbell, and if that's not enough they even have a Ft. Campbell campus on post.
-Prices are competitive.
-They just re-did the Nursing Dept. building (my major) and it is gorgeous!
-They have regular-length semesters, as well as 8 week condensed semesters (soooo helpful to me as a mother of two small daughters who is only able to attend part-time)
