The University of Tennessee-Martin Top Questions

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

Kayla

I think the worst thing about my school is also the fact that it is so small. Having such a small campus limits the amount of faculty which limits the amount of classess available each semester.

Amy

The worst thing about my school is that its in a small town. It took a while to get use to.

Mary

The worst thing about my campus is the gingko trees!!! They accidentally planted the FEMALE trees by the sidewalks instead of the males. The gingkos are rare and beautiful trees but the females produce berries that give off an awful- lasting smell when you step on them... and there are PLENTY of berries!!!! It's no fun to walk around all day with the stench attached to your shoe!!! :P

If I had to think of one thing that is the worst thing about this school...the only thing that comes to mind is the lack of things to do around campus. There are only a few restaurants, and not much else to do. If you want to do anything fun, you have to drive an hour away to Jackson, TN, or towards Kentucky.

Danielle

registering. because even though the class says full, there are at least 10+ desks still available

Krystal

I think that the worst thing about UT Martin is that when it rains there, water puddles are all over the sidewalk.

Brittany

The worst thing I consider about my school would be that fact that since most people that attend live near. It is usually a dead campus on weekends.

Lacey

I think the fact that students can't stay on campus in the dorms over holiday breaks is the worst part of this campus. Foreign students have no other place to go really. I used to be able to stay over the break and work, but not anymore.

Brandey

There isnt much for us to do other than school. The town is really small and we have to drive at least an hour to go shopping or do anything like that.

Meghan

Basically you can describe it as a "Suite-case" college. So many students go home during the weekends and breaks, that it is completely dead during that time. Other than that, since it's a smaller college in the rural south, some people can be close minded and quite conservative.
