Tennessee Tech University is in a small beautiful town called Cookeville. There are a few things you will notice if you step on campus. If you are a student, you can relate to a few of these. Maybe even all of them.
1. Construction
You can't even get on campus without seeing the chain-link fences blocking almost every possible route to get where you are going. The constant sounds of machines and hammers thudding away in the library. The blocking out of windows with plywood.
2. The Ticket Nazis
Like most college campuses, parking is awful. Tennessee Tech has the worse parking police. They don't care if you are running up to right at the end of your 30 min parking, they will write you a ticket. They don't care if your parking pass is in the window if it's not right there when they take the two seconds to look in your car, you are getting a ticket. They don't care if you are 102 years old and it's your birthday, they will write you a ticket.
3. Someone is ALWAYS in the study room you booked.
Why are you in the study room without booking? It's super easy, just one or two clicks on the website. Now it's awkward I have to kick you out of the room.
4. People are yelling in the library.
No matter where you sit, there is always someone yelling to talk to the person beside them. You can be sitting on the other side of the library and can hear how "wasted" they got after two beers.
5. Someone is watching video games on the public computers.
Seriously? I have an exam in two minutes and you are hogging the desktops to watch animations shoot each other?
6. The gym is always packed.
Doesn't matter what time you are there. The machines are filled with people texting and chatting. You think they would actually work out there.
7. The WiFi and internet are always screwed up.
For a technological school, we have plenty of problems with the WiFi going out or extremely slow internet. I remember as a freshman the internet went out for a whole day and all my classes had to be canceled.
