Fisk is a very very small school. it is a good place to be if u like the smallness and the history. TnSU is good if u like to party. not saying that Fisk doesn't party, but Tsu has the better ones. and it also depends on what u want to major in too! if u wanna know more holla at me at ladylove142@hotmail.com!!

I really like FISK the most. They have alot of joint programs with other schools in alot of their majors. They also have smaller classes. It seems more like family instead of alot of faces you don't know. Alot of people don't know that their parties are hype. The staff is one of the best college staffs I have seen. If you really want to go their, they will help you and work with you through your entire process of acceptance, entering, and getting money for school. The best advice I could give you is to go spend a day at that school and talk to the people and staff there. Good luck in whatever school you decide to attend!

I think TSU is better simply because I have been on Fisk's campus and they dont have the welcoming attitude that you would get at Tennessee State. Fisk is a good school, dont get me wrong, the caliber of faculty and staff is great as well as it is at TSU. One difference between Fisk and TSU is that Fisk is private TSU is public. Private schools tend to be more conservative whereas public schools are more liberal. Thats why if you were to ask anyone from Fisk about TSU they would say that it is a party school and if you were to ask anyone from TSU about Fisk they would say that they are stuck up. Its all nothing but stereotypes. JamaalTSU01@aol.com

Well, of course I am going to say that Fisk is the better school. Partying is not at the top of our agendas. It is all about academics. I saw that someone said that TSU gave the best parties and I can personally say that is false. The Alphas at Fisk and Vandy give the best parties. I have yet to go to a party given by TSU that was crunk. Let's not even get on the step shows at TSU. The only thing that TSU is good for is having a high disease percentage and that is about it. Yes Fisk is small, but that is not a bad thing. There is a little chant that we have that says "We study hard, we party late, but most of all we graduate (on time)." Can you say the same about TTTSSSU? Or should I say TTTSSSTD? Can you really say that TSU students go on to Ivy league schools for their graduate degrees? As a matter of fact, can TSU students get into Fisk?

I think you are out of line...it doesn't matter how ya'll do but if you go to look at the school and the adm doesn't treat chu like they want chu there...then why would ju go there...most people pick schools based on how they are welcomed...approach can make or break a persons decision...when i was down there...i didn't see nothing about fisk that held my interest....and you are the first person that i have ever heard say that tsu is shitty....i think u just the type thats high on reppin yo school....but chu make it look worse because of your comments...obviously with your replies ignorant people my graduate from fisk...but hey if you go to fisk and the admin is like that...i guess it kind of rubs off on the students...holla
