Student Life

Excellence is our habit!

Tennessee State University students go by the motto: “Think. Work. Serve.” But we also realize a little fun should be part of the collegiate experience to create a holistic approach to learning. With a variety of social, professional, and civic clubs for students to participate in, there are many opportunities for you to share your time and talents and enjoy connecting with your fellow students to create the work-life balance needed for success in college and beyond. There are more than 100 student clubs, organizations, club sports, and intramural teams. Located in Nashville, or “Music City USA,” we are in the center of Tennessee government, banking, transportation, art, culture, and education. Our beautiful main campus sits on 500 acres near the Cumberland River in a residential neighborhood just 10 minutes northwest of downtown.
