Jazmine from Chicago, IL
Come here with the mindset of working as hard as you can. Expect to have friends and professors who want you to make it
Victor from Nigeria
Upon coming to Fisk do not expect to find several thousands of students.
Focus on your academics, as a first-year student aim for a 4.0 so you have cushion to work with in the latter years.

Complete your scholarship applications, fill out the FAFSA early to ensure that you will get the most money you can, stay focus during your senior year and keep your GPA up so that you can get a great scholarship!
Yazjae from Chesapeake, VA
Fisk is a small liberal arts school. If you are interested in music and performance arts this is the place to be. Also pre med students are located right across the street from Meharry Medical College, and only miles away from Vanderbilt University. The science department is awesome!
