At Fisk, professors aren't the only ones you learn from. It's the students.
I am reminded everyday that, I sit in class next to some of the brightest minds in the country!

i love it!!

Like every Uiversity Fisk has its bittersweet traits. Since we are private instituition we are not state funded..So the living conditions could be better.

Fisk University is a school for students who want to strive for excellence .
Fisk is very hands on. This one of the few places i can actally say, the professors love, and live to teach! they will help and guide you along the way.

If you are serious about academics. Fisk is the school for you.
Fisk University is also for sudents who lack certain academic skills. Dont worry, because the professors are so dedicated that they will teach you from scratch.literally!

I was afraid that a small school wouldnt be able to challenge me as much as a large university but I was very mistaken. Because the classes are smaller your professors gauge the workload by how the class is doing collectively with the task, if you're in a classroom of 10 to 20 students and everybody is doing well then the professor will continue to give more challenging work to challenge everyone. On the contrary, if one person is struggling out of that 20 the professor is able to give attention to that student without slowing the course down for everyone.

I'll be honest with you, Fisk is what you make it... if you go out your way to say there is nothing going on and it's too small, you will hate it but if you put yourself out there to be apart of the true Fisk...the madness and the mayhem...then you can see the TRUE Fisk experience...and Fisk is ALWAYS changing...
Then you have the teachers that are so intrigued with their students and making sure that they are prepared for after graduation!
I could go on and on...it's just an all around great place... it's one of America's hidden jewels

I know for a fact that I am paying for the great education that Fisk is providing. The facilities could be better but everything has it's pros and cons.

Make sure that you have great grades because Fisk invests in it's students
Fisk is all about giving back to the community, keep that in mind!
Never take 18 credit hours per semester (if you plan to be involved in all the random activities at Fisk)

I rate my school a 100 on a scale of 1-10. I love my school and the experience that I have had is priceless. If I had to pick a college to attend again it would be Fisk hands down.

Come to Fisk it is truly the best college to attend in America no matter what you've heard. We all really care about one another at Fisk.

The work isn't always easy but the challenge alone is part of what makes Fisk so great. It pushes you to the limit and shows you what your capable of.

The dorms are not exactly new but they are very historic and unique. Once you've lived n them for awhile you'll appreciate them for what all they stand for and embody.

The food is yummy most of the time and if you get tired of the cafeteria food we have a pretty decent sub shop where you can order burgers, sub sandwiches, fries, chicken nuggets.....etc.

Hang out with my friends and around campus.

Yes! We have amazing teachers in fact we have the same professors as Vanderbilt, also you get an experience unlike any other.

We have convocations and Jubilee Day which is something nobody outside of Fisk will understand.

Artistic and Brilliant

Volleyball, Basketball(Girls & Boys), Regional Clubs (Chicago, Texas, Atlanta, California, etc), Major clubs (Psy. Science, Math, English, etc.)

We have the entire devine nine!

I safe on campus especially because most of our guards are retired military officers.

Amazing, Family Feeeling, Challenging

Come here with the mindset of working as hard as you can. Expect to have friends and professors who want you to make it

Challenging but fun

Exciting. At Fisk, you feel you are a part of a family

The food is usually impressive. I never knew i would love American food this much

Hang out in the Student Lounges , party, play basketball and other sports.

It gave me my money's worth

Historical Buildings and fraternity sections

Motivated and students who love small school settings

Fraternities, International Student Associations, Academc Club, Student Publications, e.t.c

Fisk University is a small campus.
Fisk is a place for maturation.
Fisk was my one and only choice, and I am very pleased with my decision.

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.

Understanding Rigor to mean strict, cruel, uncomfortable, etc., the courses here at Fisk are opposite. They are very necessary and not overwhelmingly challenging. In the case that they do become overwhelming, simple communication with the professor will have you feeling very accomplished and educated.

The dorms on campus are very active. There are a few maintenance complaints but most issues are self-caused. This is your new home, have fun and take care of it.

I enjoy the cafeteria most of the time. There could be a little more variety but other than that Thompson Hospitality is satisfying. *Sidenote: the pizza is good lol.

Being that Fisk is smaller campus there are not as many activities as the larger colleges/universities but it is in a convenient location with Tennessee State and Vanderbilt University only a few minutes away. Also, students enjoy hanging out on the yard, going to parties, and hosting activities in the dorms. Also the Jubilee Singers are a very special unit who I personally enjoy hearing.

There is the phrase you get what you pay for. Coming to college you pay for an education, not parties. Fisk University is fairly expensive in the mid-30-thousands but obtaining a degree from Fisk is worth every penny.

To know more about Fisk traditions, come join us. Fisk is very welcoming and if you are shy about being away from home don't worry you will feel like part of a family almost immediately.

Great for students looking to mature and meet interesting people.
Great for students who are looking for an excellent education.
Great for students in search of a historical experience.

Fisk has several clubs on campus. (International, State-specific, Student Government and many more).

The Greeks at Fisk are serious and active.
Fisk has the Divine Nine.

The Fisk Campus is very safe. Security stays on top of the job. They are friendly and willing to help with a simple call or visit to the office. Also there are a number of emergency stations (blue posts) around campus.

Fisk is an amazing university! There are sooo many opportunities which you will definitely be exposed to - even during freshman year. Administration teachers, and peers are like family, pushing you towards your goals successfully.

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!

You will work for your good grades, but there are so many tutors and programs to assist you - there isn't a reason for you to ever worry about not having the help you need.

The dorms are older, with community bathrooms, but they aren't that bad. The history behind the buildings is awesome, too (:

We have options. If you don't want those, there's a Church's Chicken, Captain D's, and Knockout Wings down the street (in walking distance) and MANY delivery places.

There are parties, events, other universities' event, trips - A LOT to do.

I have a Presidential Scholarship here (a full ride), and almost EVERYONE I know here has some type of scholarship. Fisk is worth every penny, though.

Just check out our history and visit campus (;

EVERYONE!!

Where do I begin... I am a student ambassador, there are clubs for absolutely everything. If there isn't a club that you would like to have on campus, you can start it yourself!!

Every fraternity and sorority of the divine nine is here (:

SAFEST CAMPUS IN THE AREA (: You can even call security to kill bugs for you.

Fisk University is awesome. Fisk is a wonderful place to live out your collegiate dreams and fulfill your academic goals. I am a proud Fiskite!

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!

Fisk's courses are both academicallay challenging and interesting. Fisk offers a wide range of classes from photography to Rocket Team. Professors have a general love for all of the students and work hard to guide each student to success.

Dorm Life isn't royalty here at Fisk University. However, most of the students attending Fisk stay on campus in one of the three dorms. Dorms are fairly clean and comfortable, yet there is room for improvement.

There are two dining options at Fisk University, which is the cafe and the sub shop. The menu's are very tasteful. However, a rigorous schedule may conflict with cafe hours and will land you a meal in the shop. Since the sub shop is a hamburger/sub sandwich home, it is not the ideal place for a balanced meal.

Fisk has an unlimited amount of student activities, and Nashville is the perfect place for fun. Fisk is only minutes away from downtown. Many clubs and organizations throw events weekly.

All expenses for Fisk are listed in great detail on the Fisk website. Fisk readily gives scholarship opportunities and financial aid. At Fisk, you literally get what you pay for.

Fisk is known for Fried Chicken Wednesdays. Fisk takes much pride in singing the Alma mater, and it is sang by the student body and staff members at almost every major event.

Fisk is great for music majors, business majors, science majors, and future rocket scientists.

Fisk is a wonderful place to join organizations or even create your own.

Fisk has 8 of the divine nine Greek organizations on campus.

Security works 24 hours at Fisk. The security office never closes, and officers are always available for emergencies or escorting students across campus. Nashville's Metro police also make rounds around the perimeters of the campus.

Fisk University is a small liberal arts school. The student body is close and treat every one as family. Fisk is known for its academics and is ranked among one of the finest schools in the United States.
