The University of Tennessee-Knoxville Top Questions

The University of Tennessee is an amazing school and there is very few things that frustrate me, but the one thing is not having enough seats in the student section at football game. We are paying thousands of dollars to attend this school and we all want to show school spirit by attending an SEC football game but it is hard when there is a very limited student section and we have one of the largest college football stadiums in the nation. The ambience of Neyland Stadium during a big game is worth the fight for a ticket.

I constantly am realizing how much our college has become more like a business and less like a learning institution. Students are pushed through the system, and at the end of four years are extremely broke with nothing to show for it but a piece of paper. Our administration doesn't care about students, just about becoming a "Top 25" university.

There is always construction at different parts of the campus.

The construction is a little bothersome at times. Other than that the University is quite pleasant and has several features that are desirable.

The most frustrating thing about the University of Tennessee would probably be the food situation on the weekends. On Saturday and Sunday none of the on campus dining areas are open after 2:00. On the weekdays all of the on campus dining areas, except the one on the very edge of campus, closes at 6:00.

The most frustrating thing about my school is that there are not enough classes to support all the students in the university that are wanting to take the courses needed to pursue their major. This makes it harder to register for the amount of hours needed full time per semester and even harder to graduate in four years.

The most frustration thing about the school is not being able to use dining dollars at the restaurants on the strip. If the university would work with the local restaurants and come up with some kind of deal to where students could use their dining dollars and all star money to eat at the restaurants it would make it a lot more convinent for students. Most of the students get tired of eating on campus all the time but don't have the money to eat off of campus.

The walk to classes are a little too long, and the classes are sometimes difficult to register for.

This could probably be said for more than one college in the United States, but, especially for a freshman in college, it is very frustrating for me to not be able to find the information I need when I need it. That is to say, I wish that the University's website displayed more helpful information than it already does.

The most frustrating thing about my school is probably the length of time it takes to get into contact with someone of authority, especially the Financial Aid office and the Transportation/Parking department.
