Wow, what can I say about the University of Tennessee? If you are considering UTK, please, please, please consider other options and alternatives. Like all large, in-state schools, UT has all types of students and faculty. Most of the students, however, are very belligerent and drunken fools, and I can not really say much better for the faculty. I do not believe that UTK has anything of quality to offer. Supposedly we have a good football team, but our greatest accomplishments for the last 5 seasons have been close loses to Florida and Alabama, and almost every other SEC football team, so if you are into sports, then do not think UT is going to be heaven for you. I do not really know much about the Greek life here, but you can probably find better elsewhere if it is anything like the other aspects of UT. As for the students and faculty, there is good and bad. UT is a massive state school, so there is a large mix of all types of people. As far as academics go, UT is the pinnacle of mediocracy. Do not think that you will get even a half way decent education unless you are into forensic anthropology ( the one thing UT excels at: dead people… how appropriate). The campus is decrepit and Knoxville is by far one of the worst places to live. There is absolutely nothing here for you. UT is not a school you want to go to, and if you want to go to a large state school, then consider Georgia or Alabama or anywhere else. It will be worth the out of state tuition, trust me. Email me if you want to know more. Good luck.
