Alexis

Anyone could and should attend my school. The University of Tennessee has something for everyone! Whether shy or outgoing, artsy or scientific, any race or ethnicity, and almost any interest you could think of....UT has it all!

Someone not willing to try and make friends. If you don't put forth the effort, you'll probably get lost in the crowd and end up alone and possibly depressed.

Richard

A smart, out going person.

Joseph

There is a very diverse range of types of students. The University of Tennessee Knoxville is a good college for just about anyone.

Michael

Anyone who is truly satisfied with their life should not attend this school. This university is ideal for anyone who wishes to better themselves along with others. We make dreams become reality at this university. Anyone who has accepted this life as the best should be left with this life while others make improvements to theirs.

Amanda

There should be no discrimination to the attendees of the University, it should desire diversity both racially and intellectually.

Jessica

Any person who is very introverted or "stuck" in their comfort zone should not attend this university. Even in my first semester, in the general education classes, I was required to break out of my shell and interact with the other classmates for nearly every part of class. Anything from emailing papers to be reviewed, to having conversations in Spanish, we had to do early on.

COLEMAN

Someone who can get homesick easily should not come to this school if where they call home is far away, otherwise UT is a great campus for anyone!

Lauren

Someone who does not pride in their work.

TyErika

People who like a more compact campus, who dont like big places or city life.

anyone who has grown up sheltered. Drinking is quite common and although some choose not to partake, you should be accepting of what people choose to do.

Joshua

Someone who does not want to interact with students and professors or take part in extra-curricular activities.

Mercedes

A person who does not want to get involved in school spirt activites. UT is considered a football school and many of the activites center around football so if your not interested in football or any other sports you will find it hard.

Kristina

SOmeone who doesnt like meeting new people

Steven

A person who is very serious about school should not attend the University of Tennessee PERIOD. One who wants a traditional college town should look for another place. UT is in a very urban enviornment. I have noticed that minority students, especially black ones, are singled out and discriminated against quite frequently by students and police. However faculty and staff tend to be very supportive of minorities.

Sarah

Someone not ready to experience new things. I believe you should be really open minded to new experiences and new people. This is a huge campus and it is very easy to get to know people you just have to put yourself out there.

Cassandra

Someone who doesn't meet people easily or make their own way

Karyn

Anyone wanting to come to college on the sole purpose of being on their own and wanting to have a good time. Though we all have our fair share of fun, we are a very academically strong community.

Stevie

Anyone!

Kendra

If you are apprehensive about starting college, UT might not be for you. It seems to be a big school at first and can be very overwhelming, but it does get easier.
