The University of Tennessee-Chattanooga Top Questions

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

Brittany

I knew everything, that I wanted to know when I came to this school and found everything fun and exciting.

Raven

That it is nothing like high school and you have to apply yourself more.

LYNSEY

Nothing. I Love The School I Go To.

Alisha

I wish I had a better understanding about the cost of tuition. I wish I knew more about scholarship oppurtunies.

Leah

Before I attended the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga I wasn't a very open minded person. Everyone in my town basically had the same train of thought. We were all country down to earth Tennesseeians that loved Colts football and Rocky Top. But when one attends college every sterotype that you've picked up has to leave your mind because I guarnatee there is always going to be someone or more than one person that proves that judgement to be a false statement.

David

Before I came to UTC, I wish I had known how great it was going to be. I was worried before I came about how I was going to make friends, if coming to college was even worth it, and if I was going to have a good time. I'm glad to say that all my fears turned out not to be true- I've made wonderful friends, I enjoy and value the education I'm recieving, and I've had a great time. You just have to be open and accepting, and these years will be your best.

Hope

I wish I would have known that the school is not as spirited as what I am used to. My high school did things that made the biggest majority of the student body want to be envolved but that isn't always the case here. Homecoming was a big disappointment. School spirit is not a big deal here.

Vanessa

I wish I had know that there was not much to do in the city of Chattanooga.

Marquis

Freshmen classes are much like those I took in high school as far as difficulty goes.

Brittany

I wish I would have known how to be more outgoing in order to meet new people straight out of high school. However, 2 weeks into college I had gotten the hang of it. Secondly, I wish I had known how to study because there is a large amount of study time needed for every class in college. And thirdly, I wish I had known how to handle (time-wise and emotionally) everything all together. Handling a long distance relationship, a part time job, full time school hours and studying gets stressful-but that's what friends are for.
