I'm not sure I can put into words how much I hate this school. It's become a running joke with my friends about how much I HATE UT. I came to this school thinking it would be wonderful, and, if not that, at least a good experience. I could not have been more wrong. The only good thing I have seen here is the Japanese language program. Professor Lacure is a diamond in the dirt.

First of all, the football. Do you enjoy getting drunk every weekend and screaming about the VOLs with a bunch of other idiots? THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU! I'm more concerned with getting an education, but hey, this is the South, and I should have known better, having lived here my entire life. Not like the VOLs can actually win a game anyways.

Secondly, the parking. It's abominable. I paid $162 for a commuter permit and, in the entire first week I drove to school, I never found a parking spot. After missing my first class, I parked at a friend's house and they gave me a ride to school. This is now the arrangement I use to get to school. Oh, and the permit? They only gave me back $81 of it. You'd think they'd pay Kiffin or Dooley or whoever it is a few less millions and dedicate that to fixing their parking problem, but no, ya'll got ta be havin them footballz down hur.

I'm wanting to go into Education and the program here is a damn joke. Don't believe me? I dare you to take Psychoeducational Issues in Human Development. Course number is 210. Spend one day in there and give me your reaction. They only have two teachers for it, and they teach the exact same bullshit way, so I'm sure you'll enjoy yourself as much as I did.

There's also the sorostitutes, who enjoy coming to class barely dressed and giving me flashbacks to every uptight, snooty high school clique stereotype. I started a conversation with one in a discussion group. We're talking about our majors and I share my dream of becoming an English/Japanese language interpreter. She launches into how that's 'so hard' and 'she doesn't understand' and how she loves being a communications major. I swear, every idiot girl here is a communications major. I don't even know anything about that major, but I feel sorry for the intelligent people in it.

The damn preacher on the free speech walkway. I cannot stand that guy. He hooks up a sound system and starts blasting his Bible at everyone, complete with pictures of aborted fetuses. Everywhere I go, there's someone trying to convert me to their brand of Christianity. The only religious people on campus who won't follow you around with pamphlets are the Catholics, the Jews, and the pagans. One day I'm just going to get a huge sign that says WITNESS THE SECOND COMING OF EPIC FAIL and stand beside him. All day.

In summary, if you are a sorositute redneck with a thumping Bible and love of football and beer, this school is the place for you. Everyone else, avoid.

responseYou are my hero.

That's exactly what I said about UTK. hahaha

commentYou aren't exactly intelligent with an ACT of 26.
responseSounds more like you have emotional and personal issues. Everything you have ranted about as being "the school's problem" has been your negative opinions of people and the world in general. You generalized the South and you assume that wherever you go, people will atttempt to "convert" you. I walk past preacher man in Chicago everyday, along with plenty of other people. And you know what? he doesn't bother me. Try and cheer up and stop being so negative or you won't be happy anywhere.
responseDude you suck. you have no fucking idea what your talking about u dick. Go fuck yourself you ignorant piece of shit.
responseThis review could have been written by me…we should totally hang out lol. Can't graduate soon enough!
responseThis review is pretty one-sided and overgeneralized.However, i agree with the preacher and the HORRIBLE pictures. Simply disgusting. UTK is what you make of it, if you are dead set on disliking it of course it sucks. The campus has enough activities that you should find a niche
commentIf you ordered all school essays for money or happily rolled them off the Internet, the essay may seem like an unattainable summit. Do not despair. Write the way you would for a blog. Reread, correct everything that is needed, give it to a write my essay friend for verification.
