Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Although most everything you need will be located within walking distance, the occasional need or want to go further out can be satisfied with multiple transportation options. A car, in most cases, is the best means of getting from point A to point B.

The walks to and from class are not that harsh, and may actually help ward off the “Freshman 15,” but “the T” is excellent if you would rather not walk. It is as easy as stepping on and sitting—you do not need a card to board. The only situation that creates an absolute necessity for most students is the ability to travel home for breaks.

The Late Night T

UT has really great options when it comes to late night transportation. No matter where you are on campus, the "Late Night T" as we refer to it, is available for your convenience, and is only a phone call away.

Good Options

The T is the free campus bus. It takes you all around campus and at night the T Link takes you to places off campus within a certain radius. There is also KAT (Knoxville Area Transit), but that costs money so I usually don't take it. There is also a free trolley that runs downtown which is fun to ride!
