I wanted to go to college but I didn’t know where to start or what my capabilities necessarily were, but APSU helped me see all of that little by little. Not only is APSU close to home and affordable but I felt APSU gave off a sense of welcome and acceptance that I didn’t feel I had gotten from any other university.

Austin Peay gave me the feeling of wanting to always be there due to its comfortability, the way it makes students feel welcomed and how it involves every student to have an amazing college experience. It has a place for those who are looking where to fit in. I personally love the fact that I can always find a place where I can be myself. Austin Peay has given me an experience that I wouldn’t trade for anything else.

Looking for a college was very hard for me. I applied to two colleges and I got accepted to both, but Austin Peay had my heart since the beginning. What attracted me to APSU is how close it is to home and the many academic programs offered. Orientation Day was the most exciting day of my life! That day I fell in love with the university and knew I wanted to be a GOV. I’m in my Junior year and I don’t regret attending this amazing university. Choosing APSU was the best decision I’ve ever made.
