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.
