University of Tennessee

UTK has a really a nice campus. It is really hilly, but that adds to the appeal in some ways. The stadium is one of the largest stadiums I’ve ever seen and the buildings are old and beautiful. What’s interesting is that the sororities are their own gated community. Overall the Greek houses are pretty nice.
Would I recommend this?
Yes, it’s a pretty unique campus worth checking out

I was there for 5 night in July 2015 for a conference and this review is solely based on that experience.
Dorms: No. En-​Oh, NO. Okay, if I was 22 and coming back to the dorms I guess it wouldn’t be that big a deal but the floor was sticky and wet, the air conditioner wasn’t working, the fridge well was full of water, microwave on top was sticky. Just no, no. And then with the sheets and towels they gave us mine happened to have medical tape still stuck to it. Gross. The pillow was crunchy and flat, fortunately I also received a blanket that I put under it and it was fine. It was nice enough to have a double to myself and I ended up sharing the suite with someone I never met — but if I was in the shower and she had walked into the hall where you can see the shower — like there’s no private bathroom suite — it’s a bathroom with a door, and a shower with a opaque glass door and a sink in each room… It would have been awkward~! Just a little.
Wifi: Argh. Yes, at least they have it. However, you have to login EVERY TIME you move to a different building, and then sometimes even when you’re in the same building. And unless you get some kind of login information your max speed is 256kb/​s which is enough to drive someone living in the 21^st century mad. I couldn’t Instagram! GRR! FWP. I know.
Cafeteria: Food was halfway decent and the salad bar was good. They ran out of things a lot so it seemed like everyone on my table almost always had a different plate of food but it filled us and they always had ice cream available to finish off the meal.
Campus: Walking around campus is actually quite nice. They make it so that it is not too hilly with all the bridges. However what made it awesome was the numerous golf carts they had available to us. Not all of them knew what they were doing or how they were getting there but some did and that was really cool. I have a new appreciation for golf cart drivers on campuses and events because you don’t go the car way or the people way — you have to find the right combination of both.
There are probably other things that contributed towards my experience but these are the main things.
Thank you campus staff for making our conference awesome. And for letting me be loud on the 2^nd floor of Humes until all hours.

Go «big orange»! Is the mascot a dog, a volunteer, or a tropical fruit? We like to think its all of the above. Tennessee is about more than bright colors and even brighter smiles. It’s a lifestyle.
Knoxville is known as the tire-​pressure Capitol of America. The volunteers take tire ownership very serious and keep their tubes inflated to ideal pressures at all times.

Is there anything else better in the state of Tennessee? Go Vols! From the Vol Navy on the shore of the River to the Hills of Tennessee campus you can experience the feel of what it is to be a Volunteer. The Football games have an energy you rarely see anywhere else, 102,000+ screaming fans pulling for the home team.

Having been on many beautiful campus on the East Coast, my expectations of UT was high due to their great sports programs. I was disappointed with the lack of personality or even a university atmosphere here.

Ups for being in a nice town.

Go Gators!

A nice campus here, with friendly people showing me where to go when I got lost. Also the main building looks really neat all lit up at night.
Went to a Vols football game and the challenger tennis event here, both were run really well and fun events.

Exciting college campus visit!
Our visit started at the new visitor center. We watched a short informative video and then took a very informative bus ride with our tour guide. He was a senior at UT and you could tell he loves his school. We then exited the bus and walked through several areas of the campus including the recreation center, a dorm room, and the library. All of these areas were impressive. These are the biggest dorm rooms I have seen on a college campus. OK they aren’t HUGE. It is still a college dorm but they had more room than some other campuses we have visited.
The ongoing beautification projects around campus create very relaxing places to study. One of the areas made me want to find a book and sit under the tree you know like on TV. It was that pretty. We got back on the bus and finished our tour at the visitor center. They answered everyone’s questions and gave parking passes to those who wanted to further explore.
The thing that impressed me the most was what the students we met outside of the campus said. The young lady who checked us into our hotel was a UT student and expressed how great the college was and she hated that she had to graduate. There were some other businesses in town where we ran into students that also talked about how much they love the school.

This is my alma Matyr and I love this school thank you for one of the best times of my life!

Some of the best departments in their fields, in the country. Beautiful campus in an awesome town.

Nice campus.
