I’m attending Austin Peay because I’m playing football and I got a scholarship to play; I guess that’s what I’m doing.”
Chris Emeagwai, freshman business major

I come from a small town and I was kind of wanting to go to a bigger town but not go to somewhere that’s extremely large; and Austin Peay just seemed right because of the student to teacher ratio, it seemed really small but it’s big enough for me.”
Zachary Inman, freshman political science major

I got a full ride here so everything’s paid off; it was really convenient and it’s close to home so it saves a lot of money even though I had all the money paid for. And it had what I wanted to major in so why not?”
Miree Kang, freshman broadcast media

Basically, just to play basketball and because it’s not that far from home. I can always go home when I need to and also to get a good education.”
Alton Williams, freshman business major

I chose Austin Peay because it’s so close to Fort Campbell and I want to do the ROTC. I was hoping I could find a major here and a lot of my family is around here and that kind of stuff; it seemed like a good idea at the time.”
Chris Vanorden, freshman undecided

My biggest reason is closeness because I don’t want to have to move out yet, I’m not ready to move out yet. So it’s a lot easier for me to stay at home and commute; that was my biggest thing, location.”
Jessica Rongholt, freshman undecided

It’s nearby home and let’s me stay at home and save money. It’s also big and I have a lot of friends coming here.”
