The University of Memphis

Memphis is an interesting city with it's own quirks. There is plenty to do if you are willing to get out and do it. Art, clubs, theatre, comedy, Music, food, volunteering, even sci-fi conventions and renaissance fairs. Not all parts are safe- it is a city and you Do need to watch yourself.

The U of Memphis is big, and various parts need to be analyzed seperately. The anthropology department is awesome. The English department is horrible. The foreign language and all science departments are above average. The administrative staff is awful- almost everyone in the admin. offices is condesending, ignorant, and rude. Try to deal with them as little as possible. It is a research university. And it is good at that.

There are some issues, but they are not huge, and they are dealt with pretty well.

College is what you make it. The school can't do everything for you, and this one does not try. If you want to join clubs, there are about 150 to choose from, or it's easy to start your own. There is a great opportunity for volunteering. No one pushes you into anything- they treat you like an adult.
