The University of Tennessee - Knoxville Reviews

"I enjoyed my experience at UT and received a quality education"

"It was a typical public college experience."

"I really enjoyed the University of Tennessee. It's situated just 1 hour away from the Great Smoky Mountains, and it's centrally located within the southeastern United States. Knoxville is a fun city. There are always things to do both on campus and off. My teachers were all excellent, providing a worthwhile education - especially for the affordable price."

"Ok. Not challenging. Not enough diversity either."

"Going back to school for my Masters was one of the best decisions I've ever made. But I hate being in debt. I owe 50,000 and will probably be in debt for a long time."

"Great school. Tough parking. Mostly good professors."

"The faculty were educated in their areas of expertise, wealth of knowledge. The professors were down to earth and admirable at the same time. The internship process was challenging however with regard to finding a good fit and with the amount of hours required to work there. Self advocacy however can go a long way in this program. The campus is beautiful with a timely bus system."

"The University of Tennessee (UT) is filled with tradition and excellence. Through the Sports Management program, I was able to network with various professionals within collegiate athletics. If you aspire to work in the world of collegiate athletics, UT is the school for you. Although the classes may not be rigorous, you will learn more than you ever expected with professors who have prior experience in the industry. The program is geared around your experience and how you can succeed based on what you have learned through your internships. If you apply the practice to your passion, you will be able to succeed and create a happy future for yourself through the Sports Management program."

"The admissions team was amazing getting me through the process. I am excited about my beginning classes this fall mostly because I know if the program is half as good as working the MBA admissions team I am in for an amazing experience. They were extremely flexible, even sheduled my tour and interview with only a three day notice, were able to work with my deadlines from other schools and made the experience feel as if they were perusing me and not the other way around."

"The University of Tennessee is an excellent school to receive your under grad degree in animal science. I feel that I was provided an opportunity to establish a foundation to set the ground work to continue on to become a Veterinarian. Beginning this fall I have been approved to attend the University of Tennessee College of Veterinarian Medicine."

"A great experience school wise and personally. I wouldn't change one thing about my collegiate experience at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville. It was my first time being away from home and I glad I did go far away from home. It allowed me to network with so many different people from many different backgrounds."

"The University of Tennessee Masters of Accounting program is a great way to get ahead start in your career. Many of the students have full-time job placements before the final semester ends. The work is definitely challenging; however, you are surrounded by students and teachers who are eager to help."

"The University of Tennessee provided me with place to grow as a person. I enrolled in a Bachelor program that focused on Forestry and Wildland Recreation. I had aspirations of becoming a Environmental Educator in the National Parks system. The courses were decent and varied in the information they presented. The Ag Campus, as it was affectionately called, felt like a second home to me with the landscaping and close proximity of the buildings. I have many good memories of being a student there. The class sizes were small, ranging from 6 to 25 students and were appropriately matched with the number of TAs and teachers. Some of the teachers in the college had small on-going projects in which students could work and receive pay. I participated in one for four years that assisted the Forest Service. My four years at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville bring to mind fond and happy memories that I hope others will find should they attend."

"The University of Tennessee provides you with a solid education. Insightful courses, caring staff and welcoming campus - It is one of the better state schools in Tennessee. And Knoxville is a wonderfully sized city that gives you a big city feel in a small city setting."

"The University of Tennessee was a good institution to start to my biological sciences education. It laid a fairly solid foundation so that I could pursue medical school, which I am fortunate to be in presently. However, because the Arts and Sciences advising system is weak, I had to be independent and take control of my future by choosing my courses based on what I thought would satisfy my major requirements while still being intellectually stimulating. I did not choose perfectly and made a few missteps along the way, but I ultimately was successful and completed my BCMB degree with double minors in 4 years while still taking interesting courses such as scuba diving, photography, and philosophy. As for the facilities, there are several new buildings being build on campus including additional biological labs and chemistry labs. Unfortunately, tuition is increasing as a result, but hopefully it will pay dividends. Currently, the chemistry labs are outdated, but the biology labs are great. Generally, the teachers and passionate and desire to help you. There are plenty of opportunities for research with professors as well. Overall, the atmosphere of UT is great. There are plenty of great athletic facilities such as the TRECs and Sutherland Fields for intramurals and a plethora of ways to get involved including Ignite Teams, Honors Programs, athletics, Vol Night Long, Volapalooza concerts, and more. The students are passionate about sports and about making a difference, and I am glad I chose it as my undergraduate institution."

"It is a good school with a solid math graduate program. A great place to spend your studies"

"Great school - prepared me well for my continued business career."

"Going to any SEC school is worth it. My supervisors and classes helped me so much when I began my professional career."

"Very research oriented. Good school. Lots of activity outside of classroom."

"The Cinema Studies program is a well-rounded program. The program will definitely developed your abilities to analysis and breakdown film across genres and across country of origin (i.e., French cinema, Italian film, etc.) . Additionally, the program consist of courses such as screenwriting and production courses. While some programs tend to focus on the technical aspects of film, the UTK program takes a wider look at the discipline and develops both critical analysis skills and technical skills."
