One thing I love about APSU students is that they're always willing to help you, but first of all, you must ask for help. Bear in mind that there is nothing like a stupid question in America. Take for instance, if some of your friends didn't tell you about APSU. Probably, you might not know that our great school exists.Never be afraid to ask for help.APSU is home for diversity, equity and inclusion. Therefore, you have made the right choice by choosing APSU out of numerous other schools. Welcome to APSU. The Home of GOVs!!!

At APSU I was able to meet smart, talented and ambitious people that pushed me to become a better version of myself. The community away from home also made living in a foreign land a pleasant experience. Additionally, during the time I was there, I felt my fellow students as well as the staff had my back (and best interests at heart), this enabled me have a laser focus on studying.

It was an awesome experience. Make use of all available resources, join a community, attend conferences, ask questions, and be proactive.

APSU is much more than a school, I learned a lot about myself the past 4 years! I got to experience another culture up close and be away from home! I just finished my bachelor’s degree at Austin Peay! I went to Austin Peay to study marketing and to be a part of the Golf team. Now I’m playing golf in professional tournaments.
