Let's start with this : Graduation rate for the University of Memphis -80%?—No, 68%?—Nope, At least 50% right? as in at least half of the school graduates right? Not even close. The graduation rate for the University of Memphis is a mere SIXTEEN percent - 16%. The Vast majority of U of M students very accurately portray the local inhabitants of the surrounding area of Memphis, TN. Students come for financial aid, get their check, and then drop out of all their classes - just for the money. Students on campus are loud, obnoxious, and rude. If you go to U of M, you'll have to keep yourself calm at the beginning of the semesters. This is when the financial aid abusers are still enrolled (and must be for a certain amount of weeks) before the check comes. It never fails, they will drop out. But until that time, you have to endure their loud and horrible behavior. I will say exactly what two of my previous fellow students, who were African-American, posted - The school is downright ghetto. Again, this is reflective of Memphis, TN. When WMCTV news, AKA Channel 5, is reporting 6 shootings in 1 week, and the school is made up of 90% locals well…you do the math. Aside from the horrendous student body, this school is an absolute JOKE. The same type of people who go here and abuse the financial aid (loud and ghetto) are the same people pushing paperwork in the joke known as the BURSAR's office. Guess I'd be rude too, minimum wage. Every time I had to file a form, I'd get to the window and have to wait 5 minutes before they stopped talking to their coworkers about some stupid stories that just make black people look bad. Advisors are a joke and have every idea about how classes they select will help you in your future, and no idea how to help you graduate. I could write an entire book on the school, but let's just end with this:BAD students, BAD faculty, BAD academics, BAD surrounding area (dangerous)Avoid at all costs. (Unless you want to abuse financial aid and be ghetto while disrupting people. )
