The University of Tennessee-Knoxville Top Questions

I love going to a big school! It is the only school I applied to attend. I think there is school pride here but I don't like seeing people in other university's apparel. I love gamedays here. I love having so many people available to meet. I don't like large class sizes in upper level classes

The best thing about UTK is the atmosphere. The campus is beautiful, and the people are friendly. It's a big school, but if you get to know a lot more people than you would imagine. This school is large compared to what I'm used to, but I don't think it's too large. I spend most of my time on campus either in my dorm, hanging out with friends, or at the library. The most recent controversy that I can remember than directly affected me were the fires that were started in Humes Hall, where I live. UTK has SO much school pride. Sports are huge. We're awesome at basketball and pretty decent at football. People love orange here, and everyone has so much pride in our sports teams and just our university in general. I'll always remember the football games and the excitement that could be felt on campus after a big win.

I love UTK so much and everything about it. the sports, my soroity, my friends, the school pride.

I love the people and the campus the most about my school. I think the only thing I would change would be the air/ heat system; it is always either too hot or too cold. I think my school is just the right size; I thought it would be too big and crowded, but now I know so many people that I pass by everyday. I believe a big controversy is the frat, Pike, and the trouble they have been getting into. There is a ton of school pride here. I spend most of my time in the library studying, or either at the frat, sigma phi epsilon with my friends.

I love the unity of UT. I feel at home, cared for, and most of all like i belong. Its a feeling I know other colleges don't have.

The best thing about UTK is the football games and school spirit. I would change the way to get student basketball tickets. Most students who want to go, most of the time don't because they don't want to wait hours in the cold to get into the game.

UTK is a big campus in Knoxville TN. However, once you get use to it, it feels so small!! I love going to UT! My favorite thing about it is the football games! We have alot of school pride and tradition and that makes going to UT even better!!!! The most common complaints about UT that I know I and other students have is the parking situation. UT does not have enough parking spaces on campus to hold the number of students that they have, it is truly ridiculousy!!! But i still would not want to be anywhere else!

The best thing about UT is the school spirit and pride! We bleed ORANGE! And this makes UT stand out and be distinct. I think that UT is a good size for me. I dont think I am intimidated by being in a big school. UT is definitly in a college town, seeing as how we have the "strip". Most of my time spent on campus is at the HPER building because that is where all my Exercise Science classes are. A big controversy that is going on is that the grading scale is changing to a minus scale which will lower students GPAs. The biggest complaints from students is that there is not enough parking spots for the number of students that attend this university. Due to this problem, UT Police gives outrageous amounts of parking tickets when it is inevitable to have to park in a wrong permit area.

I think that one thing I will always remember about my UT college experience will definently be the football games, just game day in general. The entire university turns in to a tailgating wonderland and you get up really early in the morning even if it is a night game! A great experience just to be in the stadium!

UTK is too large- there aren't enough dorms for the freshmen when they come in, but the advantage of the Hope Scholarship makes going to a state school too appealing to turn down for a lot of people. People generally react unfavorably when I tell them I go here, they think, probably correctly, that I'm too good for this place. Knoxville is definitely a college town. There's too much school spirit, I think, esp for orange.
