College Prowler Take
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.

Transportation is really good in UT. Parking is horrible, so you definitely need to take advantage of the buses. Knoxville Area Transportation (KAT) offers services late at night, too.

We have the free trolley to go downtown, and the KAT system is pretty cheap. You do have to wait a significant time for the public KAT bus if you want to go anywhere away from campus.

Most UT students never use public...
Most UT students never use public transit around Knoxville. If there is something you need that is farther than the Strip and you do not have a car, you go with someone who does. |

Plenty of people use public transportation. If you live on campus or near campus, you won’t even need it. The strip on Cumberland Avenue has plenty to do and, if worst comes to worst, there are always friends to give you a ride. |

The school gives you a free bus pass for the city of Knoxville that takes you to the mall and stuff. |
