Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Physics  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Quite Bright As a dual-enrollment student, I'm not as acquainted with UTC as your typical alumnus. Nevertheless, I have been taking classes at the University part time for the past two years and have become reasonably familiar with the atmosphere and academic quality. The bad: UTC is a commuter school, first of all, so don't expect an extraordinary amount of diversity. The academics are mediocre in the math, physics, and foreign language departments (the only departments in which I have taken classes - I don't know about the others). Mostly the students are taught the "plug-and-chug" methods to math and physics. The one professor of German at the entire university is T-E-R-R-I-B-L-E. He babies his students. In fact, babying is common in every class I have taken. "Okay class, pencils down. Put everything under your desks." Often I feel like I'm at high school all over again. If you look at the course schedule for any given semester, you can see that about half of the math classes are remedial high school courses. The good: Professors and students are nice people. Summary: Only attend this school if you must, especially if you're looking for any sort of academic experience or even just something above high school level coursework.

Wayyyyy too many snooty sorority girls. Some teachers are amazing and I am so pleased about them. Other teachers are terrible, rude and way too difficult for such a small college. Sometimes UTC feels like Harvard. I really think the Spanish department is one of the most difficult in the school; we have more work and assignments than any other major I talk to. Plus I am also a History major and Spanish is more difficult. Because UTC can't affoad to hire more teachers they just cut classes that are essential and required for your major and only offer them once every 4 semesters. So basically I had to graduate a whole two semesters later just because I was waiting around for a class. I do not recommend the Spanish department to anyone. The History department is much more helpful and better organized with more professors. I would recommend it. UTC itself does not care about individual students. They give parking tickets to everyone for stupid reasons. They take way too long to process things like petitions. The offices never call you back. I only went to this school because I am poor and it would be the cheapest way to go. I could not get a scholarship there even though I had a 3.6 GPA from high school and a 4.0 from junior college. As long as you are white you can't get a scholarship to UTC. None of my 4.0 white friends could get one. Seems unfair. Surrounding City: A-, Useful Schoolwork: F Have a Question?
