Tips: There will be a chance of TA/RA if you apply early. If there is no chance in the first semester. You can still get it for the rest of the course if you have good standing. The university ambience is good and it barely snows once or twice a year. You can roam on roads at any time even at night.

Likes (Student Life): The cost of living is very cheap in the area. You can get individual bedroom for a low price. And the area is very safe. You can walk on roads at midnight as well. And the campus is within walkable distance from housing. If you get RA/TA your tuition will be reimbursed.

Dislikes (Indian Food): There is only 2 restaurants nearby which are ok. If you drive 1 hr there will be a lot of options. Usually, students drive twice a week to bring groceries which are 1 hr drive from Cookeville. And there are a lot of asian, Mexican cuisines as well in the area.
