College Prowler Take
The crème de la crème of facilities is still reserved for athletes. Most students have a mild abhorrence for athletes due to pampering by the University, and feel like athletes are provided with their own large campus “country club.” The University does spend a few of the leftover dollars on facilities for students, and most of the students that use them are satisfied with their accessibility and quality. Most of the academic buildings are rather old, but many have been renovated and brought up to some pretense of modernity. A university of this size suffers a lot of wear and tear. Anything new does not stay new for long, and no matter how hard they try to maintain facilities, some get worn and dirty quickly. While we still do not enjoy marble floors and Italian leather chairs in campus facilities, there have been many improvements over the last several years. UT is eternally a “work in progress,” but it is certain athletics will remain top priority. Students Speak Out

All the athletic facilities rank among the top in the county, including the IM facilities. The computer labs have all the necessary equipment for students to complete their studies, and the student center is a decent place to hang out in between classes. |

If you run or jog, you should definitely check out Tom Black track. They resurface it almost every year, and it is smooth and level. It beats jogging across campus, with the uneven sidewalks, traffic, and hills. |

We have some of the best facilities in the Southeast, and we are getting more. Our athletes have the best fitness and study centers around. The computers are all kept up-to-date and are really fast, and the student center is a great place to meet people and catch a bite to eat, or to see a dollar movie. |

My biggest complaint with the...
My biggest complaint with the older buildings is air conditioning. There is no rhyme or reason as to when UT turns heating on and off. During an unusually warm spring semester day, the heat will be blowing at full blast while it’s 70 degrees outside. The recently-finished Alumni Memorial Building has a reputation for being frigidly cold year-round. You will be very uncomfortable in either situation, so dress accordingly. |

While many of the buildings are new, others are exactly the same as when your mother or father attended UT. All that has been changed in some buildings are the light bulbs, while the desks, flooring, windows, and bathrooms are from the stone age. Some buildings still have shelters! |
FactsWhat To Do on Campus
