Miley - 11/20/2024

I love the elementary education classroom and the intramural program that the campus has. The student body is very involved with everything that is going on and all of the sports teams support each other. All of the buildings on campus are very nice and the dorms are absolutely amazing.

Keegan - 05/08/2020

I love it here. If you want a small campus with a great community, Johnson is the place for you. The professors are great. There are multiple varsity sports teams as well as intramural sports. We are close to the city of Knoxville so there is a lot to do. We are also very close to Gatlinburg and the Smoky Mountains.

madison - 11/07/2019

Honestly, i really liked Johnson. It's a great fit for any and everybody. You could walk straight in and feel like you've been going there for years. Everyone is so friendly and spontaneous. Everyone there makes sure you are helped or if there is anything you need they would be more than happy to help you, great school!

Samantha - 06/07/2019

Johnson is a community of wonderful, smart individuals who care about one another. The campus is well kept, and beautiful. There is a pond with a water fountain where my children like to feed the ducks that call it home. The students are often seen between class talking and laughing with their friends. I also like that there is no drugs or alcohol allowed on campus. It is refreshing to go to a school that supports sobriety.

  4. What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

    I wish I had known a little more about how we're treated. Sometimes I feel because we are being held accountable we are also still treated like high schoolers. I love that we are held accountable by professors and students, but I feel like there are so many rules, and so little commitment to correct us when we're wrong and offer tough love. I wish I would have taken my first semester more seriously in setting standards for my academics.
