Top 10 Reasons it’s Great to be a Buc!

  • #10 The Blue & Gold life.

    With an action-packed calendar of campus events and 250+ student organizations, your biggest problem may be finding enough time to fit it all in!

  • #9. The mountains are calling.

    The mountains are calling. ETSU’s adventure campus is surrounded by stellar views of the Appalachian Mountains and opportunities to explore in every direction. Bike or run on our 5-mile campus trail system or try out a climbing wall. Join a Campus Recreation outdoor excursion trip, or rent kayaks and paddle-boards for your own outings.

  • #8. There’s an academic program for any interest.

    With 160+ areas of study, you’ll find what you’re looking for—or maybe discover something entirely new. ETSU offers highly accredited programs, distinctive opportunities for undergraduate research, and caring professors who are invested in your success.

  • #7. Location is everything.

    Friendly and welcoming Johnson City will make you feel right at home. Walk or bike from campus to downtown, and you’ll find local eats, coffee shops, and live music just minutes away.

  • #6. The right fit.

    ETSU balances the big opportunities of a major university with the personal attention of a much smaller college. Here, you’re not a number—you’re a one-of-a-kind individual, and we’ll help you to thrive.

  • #5. Big experience, small price tag.

    With generous scholarship offerings and programs that maximize state and federal aid, we’re committed to making college affordable. Your education should launch you forward to endless opportunities—not hold you back with debt!

  • #4. Pepper spices up campus life.

    Sgt. Pepper is the Department of Public Safety’s resident therapy dog. Is she a good dog? Yes she is, a very good dog. And she loves most of all to hang out with students.

  • #3. Buc style is model leadership.

    Dr. Noland is the most involved president you will ever meet, and his school spirit and commitment to students set the tone for campus. Try not to envy his fashion sense.

  • #2. Bucs win.

    Competing on the field or cheering from the stands, Bucs are in it for the victory. Our 19 athletic teams compete at the D-I level in the Southern Conference. And for some friendly competition on campus, there are 12 club sports and 20+ intramural options—pick your favorite or try them all!

  • ((I attached a photo you could use for this?))

    And the #1 reason to be a Buc can be summed up in 2 words, 6 letters:

    GO BUCS! At ETSU, you’ll find a community fired up with Buccaneer spirit. As you join in campus traditions, you’ll discover you’re part of the Bucs family, too.
