Good reviews

I have been blessed with exceptional advisors and professors.
Overall 4.1
The business department is super helpful with setting you up for success and all the professors Ive had are really encouraging and easy to approach. Campus is beautiful, especially the library and the Mean center.

Attending Tusculum College is the best decision I ever made. It's the block scheduling that really sets this school apart - one class at a time for 18 days and then you're done. It's amazing!
Bad reviews

This school is a complete joke. The three hour classes don't make sense at all. If the "focus" system worked, every college would use it. Go here ONLY if you can get a full athletic scholarship.
Overall 1.6
There should be more done for the students. For example, there should be decent internet at a private college! The internet access is so bad that in order to have connection, one must buy internet from outside sources! The management of the school should be more focused on the needs of its students rather than the faculty.
Overall 1.7
Way too expensive for the services they provide. The entire campus is practically a dead zone. Great professors are few and far between, many being pretentious and distant. The office is one of the most frustrating points of contact I have ever seen, sometimes taking weeks to respond, if at all.
Overall 1.8
This place is falling apart. Be prepared to never have your emails or calls returned. Even trying to pay them money is a months-long process simply because the offices refuse to help you or communicate. Every penny is funneled into athletics, leaving the facilities and other departments to collapse. Save yourself the stress and don't go here.
