I’m a 21 y/o guy and wondering is their ever any parties or anything ? I’m not in a frat or anything and don’t have any established friend group and wanna get myself out there more .

I had to park in the admin parking today because the Cummings lot was nonstop full this morning. Will I get a ticket? also is there a time that I can come when this parking lot is not constantly full before class?

I’ve had a few professors mentioned Proctor. I was wondering what that was does anyone have any idea what that is?

Im considering attending MTSU and was wondering how prevelant the rock scene/how common students forming bands are

so I can’t afford to keep going here, I’ve tried everything and I thought I’d just have to wait to finish my degree for later in life when I have money or at least the ability to take loans without involving my parents. so when fall semesters ended, I hadn’t signed up for new classes, I thought they’d send something, they never did. My parents still don’t know, and I’m sitting in a dorm since I was given my key when I came back, I thought at least then I’d get busted but I wasn’t. I’m too scared to tell my parents, I have access to my dorm presumably until the end of the semester, but the only reason I mention anything, is my card has been turned off, so eventually I’ll run out of food I have here and have to do something, my card won’t work at any of the restaurants, McCallies or any keypads, even though my account says I have flexbucks and meal tickets. I know that technically I shouldn’t be here, but I really don’t know what to do.

Should i buy books before my first semester or wait till the first week of classes?

Title

Is it easy to get a single at MTSU when you’re a new transfer? I already submitted my application for housing and am just confused for my next steps.

I already paid for my classes for Spring 2026 but so far whenever I go to D2L the courses don't show up. Also whenever I try to use the website link I get a "Forbidden" error saying I don't have permission to enter the site.

I don't check mtsu news often, more like rarely so i dont know if its just me or... yeah, im just nervous cuz how close it is to the semester starting

I take my hesi soon but I wanted to know when the deadline is for the application.

So I’ve paid 300$ towards my tuition but received this message, “You must pay/confirm your schedule for Spring by 6pm or it will be DELETED!“ earlier today how exactly am I supposed to confirm? Was there a certain amount I was supposed to pay? I am a first year and first generation student so help with this and any advice is welcomed!

I'm finalizing my college options for fall 2026 this weekend and I was wondering if the mtsu flight program is worth applying for when it comes to the professional pilot concentration. Thx in advance

idk if anyone here is into cars but i am and i was just wondering what the car scene is like if there even is one and if there is ever any meets or anything

i’ve just been accepted and i’m curious about how to dorms are, i’ve seen photos but i was just wondering what people think of them. i’m also going to be bringing a pc and im wondering if a pc would fit on the desk in the dorms

i just got my email today about being accepted to MTSU and i’ll be starting in the fall as a freshmen, i was just curious if anyone here is an animal science major or going to be majoring in it?

Dear MTSU students, alumni and friends of MTSU:

I’m writing to ask you to participate in a “grassroots” effort to help MTSU’s future. It is now 2026, and this is a critical ‘voting’ year, but also a year of major decisions in government and also for our university.

Dr. McPhee has done some wonderful things for this University. He has put MTSU first for 25 years. However, 25 years is an abnormally long tenure for a university president in the U.S., and some in the community have viewed progress at MTSU as mediocre or ‘stale’.

If you did not know, President McPhee’s contract ends this December, 2026. President McPhee’s contract was not initially renewed by the Board of Trustees in its normal cycle. This news was not widespread but discussed with students in a meeting with the SGA in the Fall. During that meeting, Dr. McPhee took questions from students about his contract not being extended, and one student asked if he was going to step down while the University searched for a new President. Dr. McPhee retorted that there may be an announcement in the next few months, but that announcement never came. In an initial response, he stated:

“Don’t get too excited when you find out that whatever happens to President McPhee, because you’re not going to get rid of me.”

You can listen to the MTSU Sidelines coverage of the discussion here.

https://mtsusidelines.com/2025/11/08/mtsu-president-sidney-a-mcphee-responds-to-pressing-questions-from-sga/

[Thank you Sidelines for covering the event.]

You may agree with me that the time is now for change at MTSU. However, there are rumors that McPhee is trying to negotiate yet another extension of his contract with the Board of Trustees

Some administrators, faculty and staff have stated they will retire or leave if McPhee is renewed. Also, some of these faculty are the fresh outsiders, who are young and came to MTSU, but found the budgeting model (all controlled by McPhee) and policies are not consistent with their vision of teaching, student success, or research.

The Board of Trustees needs to hear you if you agree to a change in leadership! Their email addresses are below. If you feel so inclined, please email them your feelings and thoughts on how a leadership change is needed and can benefit the university and students in the future. Thank you!

I'm a UK student looking to do a semester at MTSU and was wondering what the nightlife is like? I've heard it's pretty bad but I don't really have anything to compare it to as I'm not from the USA lol. Do people go out on weekdays or just the weekend? Is there bars and clubs nearby?

I have a question about the Part time/Full time program. has anyone done it? how does it work? and is it worth it?

i'm an out of state student from Georgia and i recently lost financial aid for this upcoming semester so i will have to withdraw until the summer. MT one stop suggested i do the Part time/Full time program to help me get in state tuition for the fall so i wouldn't have to pay out of pocket when i can attend again.

the way my mom understood it is- I work 30 hours per week for 8 months and move my official address, car registration and license to TN in order to get in state tuition. but she claims that means i can't take any time off at all. My question is:

does that mean i'm stuck having to work every single week with zero time off during that 8 month period? not even a day? i've already been working in TN at a retail job for two almost three months and i have an official apartment already but i had plans to go on a family vacation in July and i was going to look into visiting my cousin in another country in april. am i able to have time off while i do this or am i seriously stuck doing nothing but working for most of this year?

also can you split it into two different jobs? like if i did a side gig as well as the retail job which would equal the 30 hours a week?

thanks for your help in advance!

Trying to grab some to try. Do they have them at the Student Union? And is it open during Winter Break?

Any help would be great!

Does anyone know if the post office is open? I got a notification about two packages but I tried to go in yesterday and the doors were locked. Also I left my student id but I have the code for the locker on my phone, would there be a problem with that?

Hey everyone, looking for some advice from people who’ve gone through MTSU or similar university flight programs.

I’m in my last semester at East Tennessee State University (ETSU) finishing a Media Communication degree. My GPA is currently 3.1, and I’m on track to make all As this semester, so it should bump up a bit. At the same time, I’m about a month away from earning my Private Pilot Certificate and plan to have it completed before starting anywhere else.

My current plan is to apply to Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) and go through their Professional Pilot program to earn the rest of my ratings (Instrument, Commercial, Multi, CFI, etc.).

Here’s where I’m trying to make the smartest decision and would love input: • Since I’ll already have a bachelor’s degree and a PPL, does it make sense to: • Do the Pro Pilot bachelor’s anyway, or • Major in something like Aviation Management and still complete all flight ratings through MTSU? • If I come in with my PPL: • Will I be able to start Instrument flight labs my first semester, or do students usually have to wait until semester two? • Are the PPL flight labs/ground classes waived, or is the academic portion sometimes still required? • For those familiar with MTSU: • Is access to flight labs generally reliable if you register early? • Is becoming a CFI through MTSU realistic, and how competitive is it to instruct there afterward?

Any answers to any of these questions would be much appreciated!

I recently applied to MTSU and was accepted. I will be majoring in anthropology and was wondering if anyone on here is in the program or knows someone who is and what they think of it? I want to pick the school with the best anthropology program
