I'm currently a junior considering to stay relatively local for college. Cookeville, TN is on my list. Does anyone know any colleges in or near that area?
Absolutely! There happen to be a few in and near Cookeville, TN that you may want to consider:
1. Tennessee Technological University: This is probably the most known institution in Cookeville. Tennessee Tech has a wide array of undergraduate programs with a strong emphasis on engineering and technology fields, although they also offer robust programs in education, agriculture, and nursing among others.
2. Vol State Community College at Livingston: This is a 2-year institution and it's a little bit north of Cookeville, but still within a 30-minute drive. Many students start here and then transfer to 4-year institutions.
While these are the major institutions in the Cookeville area, you may also consider schools in Knoxville or Nashville if you're willing to expand your search a bit. Both cities are approximately an hour and a half drive and home to schools like University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Vanderbilt University, Belmont University, and Tennessee State University, among others. Make sure to consider your major of interest and college preferences when deciding on schools to apply to.
