Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

UT draws students from all over, and it is little wonder why. UT has a personality all its own. The level of pride and tradition here is among the strongest in the country, and the amount of support Knoxville has for UT is amazing, especially with sports. You will love the laid-back Southern style UT has to offer, and you will enjoy spending time with the people you meet here. Ask any UT alumni about their most positive life experiences, and I guarantee you that most of those experiences will have occurred at UT.

It is understandable to see how UT can appear intimidating on paper, especially to those coming from a small town. There are many different activities to become involved in, and they are yours for the taking if you are willing to make the effort and work hard. The key to success at UT, as well as any college, is to learn to manage your time properly. As long as you remember that education is the main reason for coming to UT and prioritize accordingly, you will be very happy during your college days.

I haven't really explored off-campus, but from what I have heard there are a lot of options that are very reasonably priced.

Greeks and Regulars

While there is quite a bit of diversity at the University, I feel like there's two main groups of people. The Greeks and the Regulars. Both with guys and girls, you either have the greek life fanatics or the people who don't care about all that and just do what they want.

My Degree Should've Come With a Warning Label

Theoretically, a degree in Spanish Language and World Business sounds nice. But once you get into the job market, you quickly learn that it's too generic for some jobs and not broad enough for others. I wish I would've double majored in Spanish and Business instead of how the program makes it a major in your language and a minor in business. And I wish someone would have suggested that to me instead of over inflating the advantages of the Language and World Business program. Now I'm going back to school for elementary education, which I wish someone would've recommended I get on that track in undergrad!
