Middle Tennessee State University Top Questions

the Football team

The most common activities and groups at MTSU are athletics, social fraternities, and student government. The campus has other honors fraternities and academic clubs as well.

There are a variety of ways for students to get involved, such as, fraternities, sororities, the Student Government Association, Area Government, Religious groups/organizations, etc. Greek Life and SGA are probably the two biggest and most popular organizations. I think that every student on campus needs to get plugged into at least one group or another. Besides giving you something to do, it also helps you network, become more social and meet people, and looks great on a resume.

I am in NSCS and National Society of Leadership. I like both of them. I know National Society of Leadership is the more popular one. Parties? I believe every MTSU student is out partying from Thursday-Sunday. I know I like to go out and socialize. I live in apartments close to campus so I feel like I'm still on campus. So, the only time I ever leave is to go to work, walmart, or a party. I try not to drive alot, have to save the money

The most popular student activities at Texas Southern are the school athletic events, intramural sports, and Greek organization events. There is something for everyone on this campus.

You have your groups, and other people have their groups. Everyone believes theirs is the most important: that's just human nature. I cannot name a single sorority or fraternity, but I'll bet they don't know what my groups are called either. I am involved mainly in NSSLHA, which is the National Student Speech Language Hearing Association. We do volunteer activities, go to conferences for our profession, and do fundraiser activities. The advisors for NSSLHA are my teachers, and the officers and members are my classmates, so we're a pretty close group. I met my closest friends actually taking physical education classes. I took social dance, self-defense, badmitton, and aerobic dance, all of which required a lot of communication between the people in the class, so we got to know each other pretty well. I am not really big on the party scene. I don't smoke or drink or hang out with people who do. There are plenty of church groups both on and off campus. There are also two malls, three movie theatres, one of which is on campus- $2 a movie, and several stores and restaurants to go to.

Fraternities and sororities are pretty popular. They are active on campus. I'm a part of the National Society of Collegiate scholars. It's pretty easy to join campus organizations. There are many different ones, so it's not hard to find one you like. There's usually a pretty good crowd at football games; unfortunately it's not as popular as some of the bigger name schools. There usually always something to do on campus.

At MTSU, volunteering and helping the community is a huge part of who we are and what we do! Many organizations, and the Leadership & Service office, focus greatly on helping the community. There are multi-organization efforts throughout the semester, events through Habitat for Humanity, and more! I believe that besides supporting our football team, volunteering is the most popular activity for individuals and groups on campus!

Most popular groups are probably Greek organizations and club sports. I recently founded a Club sport called Hurling. Students who get involved leave their dorms much more often and more quickly become familiar and comfortable with the school. Fraternities and sororities are of minor importance and on the down slide. People party a good deal at houses bordering campus. Non drinking activities on a Saturday night can include attending a live music house show, watching a school sports match, going to the school theater, participating in intramural sports.

The typical thing to do in Murfreesboro is drink and go to church. There are no cultural events here, other than tourist-trap type of "festivals" on the square. The restaurants here are all of the chain variety. Dating here? What a joke. People come here with their boyfriend/ girlfriend. I am in very good shape and financially stable, 28 years old, and everyone here over 23 is married already. The only people who are not are generally dealing with severe personal problems. Or they are from somewhere else. I have never met seventeen year old students who were married until I came here.
