The University of Tennessee-Knoxville Top Questions

Some of the African American students on campus tend to gravitate towards each other, insead of students of other ethnic backgrounds and it hinders the amount of diversity we could potentially have; but dispite that UT is still a very diverse campus.

The technology is awesome, but often messes up. For example, last semester we all used a wireless service that would sometimes just not work, or log you off the internet. So we had to change that, and this year it's much better, but now there are issues with our campus email service, so now they are planning on changing it. Technology issues are frustrating, but the school is usually on top of it by the next year. Also it's frustrating that my theater classes are all over campus because we don't have our own building with classrooms.

In my opinion the most frustrating thing about the University of Tennessee at Knoxville is the size. It's hard to find your place amoung the great masses.

I get frustrated with the parking situation. Some of the classes are to large.

Most frustrating about UT are its level of hypocrisy and dismissal of students' wishes. They push a "green" campaign, but pay to light Neyland Stadium 24/7, all year 'round. They pay to power the electrical features on a hideous sculpture erected in the middle of the Pedestrian Walkway just this summer. Students protested the highly inconvenient placement of the statue and petitioned that it be moved, even going so far as to create a Facebook group dedicated to the cause. Though the group blossomed, UT disregarded it and left the monstrosity where it perched.

There are very little studio classes, but a lot of art majors that need them. UT takes on too many art majors then puts no money into the art building.

Financial aid office. Very hilly.

The campus has alot of hills and is not the prettiest campus or located in the prettiest city.

The most frustrating thing about UT is trying to graduate on time. The budget cuts at the school have forced the system to cut a lot of seats in gen-ed courses and cut/combine entire degree branches. Also, it is hard to create a schedule when most required courses past gen-ed are being offered only at one time.

Losing at football. Administrators not lisetning to studnets. Assinine decisions made by the administrators.

Too many conservatives that don't have open minds.

Classes at Tennessee are in varying difficulties based solely on your professor. A P.E. class could be more difficult than an Engineering class if your professor is a tough grader, a bad teacher, or just an angry person out to fail every student in their class. It is frustrating to know that i recieved a bad grade in a class when one of my friends took the same class, with a different professor, and recieved an A, when I know I studied more than they did.

The way Groups exclude people.

I am not extremely frustrated with anything on this campus or with the school but i suppose that the layout could have been planned a little better. There is an ADD campus that is a bit far away that makes getting to those classes a bit more difficult but all in all this school is amazing.

Parking

I am disappointed with the quality of the on-campus housing when you compare it to what is available off-campus for the same price. Also there is a strong no alcohol policy, even if you are over 21.

Class size can be frustrating you must go out of your way in order to get help

Well, I am currently in the pre-nursing program; this is where you take 2 years of general education classes, and then you apply for the nursing program. However, since our school previously had to make budget cuts, the nursing program is only taking 48 students this year. I think this is awful considering that there are over 24,000 students at this university and that there is such a high demand for nurses.

The T: buses are slow and croweded
