The University of Tennessee-Knoxville Top Questions

The one thing I brag about to my friends is the school spirit. When I arrived to The University of Tennessee for orientation, the student made me feel so welcomed. There were posters, signs, and flyers displayed all over campus welcoming the incoming freshman. The upperclassmen taught us our school song, Rocky Top, and different dances. They made us feel prepared for the upcoming school year.

I love that my school is big and very involved. Not only is it an SEC school and big in sports, but it is always advancing in the academic sceme of things. It is currently in the middle if a "Big Orange, Big Ideas" campaign. The University of Tennessee is on it's way to becoming one of the Top 25 Colleges and Universities in the nation. I take pride in knowing that I attend a college that is so committed to its image.

I always talk about all of the activities and things to do in Knoxville. I come from a small town with very little to do, so Knoxville blew me away. There is always a lecture, concert, play, or any other form of entertainment. I love going out after class and visiting open mic night or going to a lecturer from another university come and speak about politics or a subject related to my major. Of course, there are always sporting events and activities on Pedestrian Walkway (a large walkway where all advertising and campus groups organize).

My experience at UT has been positive and rewarding. The University of Tennessee strives to accomodate every student as an individual and offers numerous services, resources, majors, minors, advisors and councelors to help make the college transition easier and college years more successful. I am proud to say I attend the University of Tennessee and will be even more thrilled when I can say I earned my degree from UT after I graduate.

I don't really brag, but I do talk about how I like the atmosphere of the campus. There are lots of things to do on campus and if you sign up for a newsletter, you get a list of events and concerts that happen on or around the area. The professors that I have encountered are nice and quite a few of them are even humorous.

The perks of going to a large school. It wasn't my first choice, but it's so nice to have the freedom and choices that a large school brings. There are thousands of different clubs and things to do. You can't beat the free Chick-fil-a, Sbarro, Petro's, Subway, Ihop, and Starbucks that comes with any meal plan, either. Dining dollars rock!

Our athletic program of course :) I also love to talk about the feeling of academia you get when you step onto campus. There are many students hard at work here and many brilliant professors eager to teach what they are most passionate about. We have access to anything you would need as a college student here. A great library, career services, study abroad opportunities, on and off-campus living, great restaurants and recreation in Tennesee's mountains and rivers, gyms, religious organizations, etc.!

intermurals. i like to tell others how awesome it is to play flag football, basketball, dodgeball, and so on. it really helps to take your mind off of school a few nights a week so you don't get burned out.

The staff is fantastic about helping with whatever problems that may arise in college. It's also an in-state school, so the tuition is a lot better than many of the out-of-state schools that my friends are attending. Since I live within an hour radius of my school, it's easy to maintain contact with my friends and family.
