ETSU or MTSU?

<p>Hi, I am currently a student doing Pre-Nursing at a community college in Indiana. I am wanting to transfer to Tennessee because I generally love it there and I want my nursing license/degree to be from there (since that is where I want to live). I attended Ball State here in Muncie, IN and ended up not being able to afford it, but I loved the atmosphere on campus.</p>

<p>I will move to TN with a family friend a semester before so that I can claim residency and pay in-state tuition. I have been doing some serious planning in order to move because that is the agreement my parents and I have. I am trying to get as much information about my top 2 schools as possible, so any advice is welcomed.</p>

<p>My question is: which is the better school for me? I really liked East Tennessee State U when I first researched schools. Now, I am leaning toward Middle Tennessee State U. I would just like any pros/cons about the area, financial aid, the campus, the activities, the academics, the job outlook, party scene, sports, ANYTHING you know!!</p>

<p>Some things about me:
Major: Nursing
I am really into the "college" vibe... having the resources right at your fingertips and in walking distance. I am very interested in joining a Christian ministry club as well as joining a sorority.</p>
