Why did you choose ETSU?
ETSU always felt like home; within my first five minutes on campus, I knew that this was the right fit for me. It’s the best of both worlds: access to resources like those of a very large university, without sacrificing the small town, community feel.  

What would you want a prospective student to know?
Come to ETSU with an open mind. There really is something for everyone, even if you don’t know what you’re looking for yet (which, by the way is totally okay, and normal!). It’s truly an adventure of self-discovery, but you 100% get out of it what you put into it!  

Where is your favorite place to study on campus?
I love to study in the Culp Center! It’s motivating to see so many students sitting around me studying, also it’s super easy to grab coffee or a snack!
