The University of Tennessee-Knoxville Top Questions

Utk is a great school with a lot of things to do and tons of things to get involved in. The school is a great size, and people are usually impressed by the fact that i go here. Utk is its own town within knoxville.

UT is awesome.

I think that utk is a pretty good size, not too small, not too big. But one thing that suprised me is that knoxville is very much a university town. There are many historical aspects surrounding knoxville and nature cites. But other than the university, there is not much going on in "the social scene" such as bands coming to knoxville or night out spots. But maybe that is a good thing, because when football season comes knoxville is a crowded place. There is a lot of school spirit when it comes to athletics. In my opinion the only bad part about the campus is that it is dirty. There are many groups that try to get involved to make the campus "green" and cleaner, but the fact of the matter is, it is just a dirty place. vomit stained sidewalks and beer cans, underwear, and paper are some of the most common things. I would like to see change, but until people stop being lazy, it will be dirty.

There is a LOT of school pride which makes students really excited to go here. The people in charge keep cutting budgets though and they are making students who love the school hate it because less teachers mean less classes which means people get stuck here until the end of time.

Tennessee has more school spirit then it knows what to do with. Which is great when it comes to games. Unfortunately some people take their spirit a little too far. I have seen people threatening to kick the asses of fans from the opposing team.

I think the best thing about UTK is the football games...one thing to change would be general ed classes to be smaller..I think the school size is not to big just some classes are very large...they are like wow PARTY!!..either in the library, panhellnic, or hess...it is somewhat of a college more of a college town in the fall then the spring...I think the administration try hard...the biggest controversy on campus would be sercurity...I think there is a lot of school pride..I think going through recruit would have to be an experience i will always remember.

UTK is the right school for me. I love meeting new people and with over 26,000 students and faculty, I never see the same people. The one thing I would change are the professors. I wish that the professors of big sections would be more open to getting to know ALL the students in their classes not just the ones that talk all the time.

The bigest reaction I get when I tell someone I go to UTK is, "UT, huh? How 'bout them vols?" It's true that we have a wonderful athletic department, but that isn't all we have going for us. UT has excellent professors and classes as well. I am a member of the Chancellor's Honors Program. We're a group of students who entered UT with high GPAs and ACT scores who must meet higher academic standards and take classes that challenge us. It's unfortunate that people don't see the academic side of UT.

UTK is only a good school if you can handle big classrooms and not having a close relationship with the teacher!

I love the campus. For the most part, I believe that it is a great size. There are some buildings that are not convenient, but overall the campus allows you to walk from class to class, getting exercise too. I will never forget my first football game on this campus. Game days in orange country and unlike anything else you will ever experience! It gives you chills to walk in Neyland and see the sea of orange and hear the vols cheers.
