What Students Are Saying
Tusculum College does their classes on the block schedule which makes it easier to concentrate on one class and subject at a time! You take one class at a time for 18 days, then have a 4 day block break which you can go home during which makes it impossible to become home-sick! It is a small college but it is in a beautiful Eastern part of the United States and I love all of the friends and people I have met while attending Tusculum!
