“I was the victim of a lot ofEducation
I was the victim of a lot of empty promises that I heard in the fall of 1987. There was supposed to be a huge demand for high school teachers. NOT!! I was discouraged in that field, and I stopped looking in 1995. It did not help that I was not in the elite group of students (although I had a 3.6!) I came from an area that the community despised because of a "hillbilly" stereotype. It still rankles me 27 years later.
My memories of student life there were not that great. Run by the frats/sororities and the Brock Scholars (don't know about 2017). No parking and tickets handed out like candy at Christmas. And at the student housing, I had a RD at the last place where I lived that was fantastic. But the ones I dealt with at the apartments where I lived at the start of my time there seemed to "feel their oats." Big on "putting accounts on hold." Let your friends who go to the college give you their opinion, not those ambassadors that make a fourth-rate campus look first-rate.

“I was in the social work program atSociology
I was in the social work program at UTC and it was an abomination. Extremely religious orientation (run by seventh day adventists) and a pull-yourself-up-by-the-bootstraps approach to clients in the field of social work; The antithesis of social work ethics in my mind. whatever happened to recognizing inequality? Professors skim right past this aspect of social work and focus on chilly rogerian interviewing. there was a lot of power hunger in this crowd of petty non-tenured faculty- and there are only like 5, so forget arranging your schedule or hoping to graduate on time if you dont take everything in the one time slot available.Then I switched to sociology. Dr. Terri Lemoyne inspired me so much, but I can't remember the names of another single professor at UTC. women's center was awesome, I must say.
