The University of Tennessee-Martin Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about The University of Tennessee-Martin? Why?

Rebecca

The worst thing about my school is that it is far out in the country; there isn't much to do that is closer than an hour away.

Casey

Nothing at all is wrong with the school I go to. I have a great advisor, Dr. Swan, and many other teachers are awesome there.

April

The worst thing about my school are the fraternities and sororities. They are a big distraction to school work and bad examples to the students on campus. They make the University seem like nothing, but a party school. The reputation of UTM is effected by this, but it is a great school to attend.

Amanda

Martin is a suitcase campus. Over 75{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the students are West Tennessee natives, and the majority go home on the weekends.

Tori

Sometimes the staff can be less helpful than expected, but I see sometimes people can be real busy.

keira

The weather, because it rains a lot in Martin.

Michael

I don't like the secluded location. It's just too far away from every thing.

Kameron

the only complaint i have is that tution is becoming more expensive for students that are already having to take out loans. If they could offer more ways to help out students then maybe there wouldnt be as many students in debt.

Jordon

I would say that the parking at UT Martin is the absolute worst part of my experience here!

Sarah

The only complaint I have about the school is that freshmen are required to purchase a meal plan even if they live in the apartment-style dorms with kitchens. I am spending more than $1,000 per semester on a meal plan and I almost always cook my own meals. The cafeteria is crowded and the food court has few healthy options for a vegetarian like me. The meal plan is a waste of my money. I have not encountered anything else I dislike in the school, though.
