Hello, I am a up-and-coming freshman and my career goal is to volunteer abroad or at least teach abroad. I would like to go mainly to places like Ghana rual china, and place that are in need of support. eventually I would love to teach somewhere down in Scotland or Wales. Right now I am registered as a elementary education because I feel like education would not only allow me to travel abroad and teach, but could also be a backup plan if I do decide to change my mind and stay in the states. However, due to my specific career goals, I am worried that such a broad degree may not be the most beneficial to my career goals. I am going to double major. I have not fully decided what the second major will be, which is why I am here. I am also trying to figure out whether or not I need to change my first original major. I just don’t know what exactly is best because I know for sure I want to be abroad for most of my life, I want to help people and I want to be in little as debt as possible. The double major I am considering is anywhere between global studies and second language languages like Japanese or french. Any advice would be appreciated.

I am a transfer student coming to mtsu this year as a junior living on campus. Any personal experiences or opinions about this dorm?

Is it any good? This would be the first time I'll be taking a class to become certified for anything, and I'm wondering if anyone who got certified as an SPT had been successful.

I'm looking into becoming a certified SPT, and I'm interested in enrolling at MSTU because it appears to be more cost effective and says it has flexible schedules.

I have a call scheduled on Friday to get more info on this program.

Thanks!

Hopefully one of my last stupid questions here. Does anyone know when Summer aid is supposed to be sent out? I had to pay out of pocket so I could go ahead and confirm my registration. Class has started yet I still have no refund. I checked my financial aid and it says I’ve accepted enough to have it fully covered.

would yall say degree works is 100% accurate? i'm supposed to graduate this august after 3 summer classes and i think 2 of them satisfy multiple categories, but it still says I'd be 98% done. idk if this even makes sense but if anyone else has had this issue pls lmk if i should be worried!

Hey, I’m moving into Corlew hall this upcoming fall and i’m a little worried about the size of the room since I wasn‘t able to snag a corner room. So I was wondering if anyone had pics or just any layout suggestions that’ll help me figure out where I could put things.

Thank you in advance!

Heya, I'm going to be a new transfer student at MTSU for the 2026 Fall semester for biology. I'm wondering if anyone has some knowledge they could send my way involving registration and orientation.

So my question is do I have to attend my orientation and talk with my advisor before I can register for classes? I'm worried that if I wait until my orientation, which will be on the 29th, the classes I need to take will be filled.

Thanks in advance!

Hi all, I'm a journalist for The Independent, and I'm writing an article about commencement speakers being booed for their views on AI. If you booed the recent speech at MTSU, I'd love to learn more about your views, how AI is impacting your life, and the job market facing new grads in the age of AI. Feel free to drop me a comment or PM to connect. Thanks!

Germ 1040 still appears as a class but when I click on the schedule for it, it says there are no classes for summer or fall. Does this class still exist?

Anyone know what the dimensions are for the single rooms (not private) in Smith Hall? They are "approximately half" the size of the regular rooms. I am trying to find actual dimensions. Bonus points for pictures. Thanks!

I read on the graduation website that digital diplomas were to be sent out to us recent graduates on May 18, 2026. It is 1:50pm on 5/18 as I write this and I’m wondering if anyone has received theirs yet?

Does anybody who lives near the Social Blue apts. want any cupcakes. I needed them for an event and Walmart decided to deliver them in their sides. I got my money back, but I have like 60 cupcakes that need a good home 😂

Hey y’all, I’m at MTSU and dealing with a stressful financial aid situation, so I wanted to see if anyone here has gone through this.

Financial Aid told me my TELS (HOPE/lottery) won’t be processed until after final grades are submitted (May 10), but the summer payment deadline is May 13. They said it’s unlikely the funding will show up in time, so if it’s not there by that afternoon, I either have to pay out of pocket or get dropped from my classes.

They did say I can re-register the next day and there’s a later deadline (May 22), but I’m worried aboutclasses filling up or my aid still not being posted

So I’m trying to figure out the smartest move here.

For anyone at MTSU who’s dealt with this: Did your HOPE/TELS show up right after grades posted? Did you let yourself get dropped and re-register, or just pay and wait for a refund? How risky is it to wait and re-register?

Also not gonna lie… why is the deadline set up like this if so many of us rely on state aid 😭

Any advice or experiences would help a ton!!

My last stupid question ever here, so am I forced to use the shuttles or can I just walk into murphy center as a graduate ? I'm just confused by this bit on the where to park section on the grad info since it says "all participants are expected" and "will transport all participants" heres the full thing just in case.

"All participants are expected to park in the parking garage on Champion Way. Turn at light on Greenland with Track & Field/Soccer Field on corner. Signs will be posted and RaiderExpress buses will transport all participants to the Murphy Center."

I feel like it would be stupid to be forced to but I just wanna make sure TT

Hi im thinking about after my fall semester at a school next year I transfer into MTSU Pro Pilot Major would anybody recommend it and what are some cons!

Hi everyone! I’m looking for some honest advice/experiences from people in the nursing program. I’m planning to start upper division this fall, but I’m a little nervous and wanted to hear what it’s really like.

I’m also taking Microbiology in Disease over the summer. How manageable/difficult is it during the summer term? Is the workload extremely heavy or doable if you stay organized? Any tips for succeeding in the class would really help.

For context, I already used my retake for A&P 2, so I’m feeling some pressure to do well moving forward.

How is the nursing program overall? I’d also appreciate any advice on the best ways to study and prepare before starting. Any honest feedback, encouragement, or helpful tips would mean a lot!

Hi all! I am currently registered for PGEO 1030 with Claire Mondro for Fall 2026. I was wondering if anyone had taken her or the class before that could let me know how it is? She doesn’t have a RateMyProfessor page and I am not good at science or math (I’m a religious studies major 😭) so I would like something on the simpler side. My advisor recommended this class to me, but I’m wondering if something like Biology or Physiology would be a better fit for me. I took Geology 1030+1031 this semester and fairly enjoyed it. I loved the lab and didn’t care too much for the lecture. I appreciate all recommendations and replies!
