Why did you choose ETSU? 
I fell in love with ETSU the moment I came on campus. I had never been to Johnson City before, but I had heard great things about ETSU. I decided to go to the Open House, and I was just amazed by everything. Our campus is beautiful and comfortable. Anyone who comes to ETSU will feel at home. 
  
What would you want a prospective student to know before coming on a tour with you?  
College can be a scary thing, especially if you are moving away from your home as I did. We understand that not everyone will come to ETSU, but we are here to give you the best information so that you can make a comfortable and educated decision about your future. 
 
What do you like best about the area? 
I fell in love with Johnson City before I fell in love with ETSU. The area is so captivating. The mountains surround you everywhere, and hiking destinations are only 15 minutes away. My friends and I love going to Carver's Gap, Roan Mountain, and The Beauty Spot to hike or watch the multicolored sunsets. The views are unlike any others.
