Accepted To Fisk Univ! What should I Expect?

I was accepted to my dream school, Fisk University about two weeks ago. I am very excited because I worked very hard to get my a** in this school. Now I need help from my fellow Fiskites to let me know what I should expect from Fisk my freshmen year and the years to come. 8) :lol: P.S. I need all the information that anyone can give me, so if you are a student of Fisk, don't be afraid to let me anything, because I am one of you all now. Spread Love 8)

I applying for all types of scholarship. I still have to submit the University Scholarships by (May 1). What is the weather like in Nashville?

Right now its sunny and cold, but early spring is tricky. Later in the week its supposed to be 70 degrees but now its 35. Once we get to April, there's rain but mild temperatures. From May until late October its hot. We see 100 degrees during the summer. If you're not from the south, then get ready because humidity is a mother...and FISK does have a dress code. The weather's another reason FISK students don't do a lot of hangin' out because who wants to be outside when its 98 degrees, LOL!?!?! Our winters are usually about 30-40 degrees on average but there are times when its gets colder and even snows. BUT...this is the south and to us "snow" is one inch then **** the whole city shuts down. If you're from the midwest, then winter is a heavy jacket, turtleneck, and boots kinda thing. If you're from Cali or the south, bring ya coat. About scholarships, if you come to Spring Family Weekend be sure to introduce yourself to the Office of Admission. You want to let them know who you are and that you are really interested in attending/scholarship opportunities...

I know my Mother will defitnely introduce herselF, she's an EXTROVERT! My moms is coming down, but she will not be attending the spring family weekend events, however she will be attending the orientation on Thursday.

i would first like to say congrats on getting into FISK. I will be joining you on campus this fall. And hopefully I'll see you during Spring Family Weekend. Like many of you, I feel in love with the campus and atomsphere the moment I set foot on it.TSU STUDENTS STOP HATIN'!!!!!!!!!

Are you currently attending FISK?

Nah I'll be a freshmen this fall.

Are you going to the Spring Family Weekend next week?

I am a freshman, soon 2 b a sophmore! and like my fellow fiskite stated, there ARE scholarships out there... i received a full-ride to fisk last year, and i wasn't the top student at my high school... dont give up the search. good luck future fiskite!

Wow, did FISK give you anything? I have about five more scholarships to apply for, so my moms and I have been putting in them out there of course along with essays.

Yeah I will be coming to Spring Family Weekend. I will be coming from Louisville with a friend of mine who will also be attending FISK this fall. Where are you from other 'guest'?
