The University of Tennessee-Knoxville Top Questions

UT has organizations for everyone on campus!! There is always somewhere you can fit in, I can guarantee that no student will ever feel out of place! Students wear all different types of clothing to class. You see everything from sweatpants to dresses. UT students are from everywhere! There is not one paticular location that the bulk of students are from.

I have little experience with other racial, religious,etc groups on campus. Most students wear jeans and tshirts to class or work out clothing. Most students are probably from Tennessee because of the lottery scholarships.

THe best thing out the Student Body is that you can wear whatever you want to class. I usually wear jeans and a t-shirt or gym shorts. No one really cares what you look like, and the professors do not mind either. It is great!

I don't care for most of UT's student body. Most of them are from Tennessee. I feel like most of them are supposedly Christian and conservative, but in actuallity are wild at parties and like getting drunk.

It is hard to walk around campus or sit in class without noticing how diverse UTK is. However, it seems to me as if the Greek life stands out more to people. I myself am Greek so maybe that is why I notice this group, but the Greeks tend to stick out on campus. I really am not a judgmental person so I don't really take notice of people's background, but our campus is definitely one of the most cultural campuses I have been to.

religion is a very strong topic here at this university. many of the students attend church. there is also speakers who stand out on the walk way and preach about there religion. I this a student that is gay would feel out of place at this university because the religious speakers speak down about them. Many different types of student interact. many students go to class in running shorts and t-shirts or jeans and t shirts it is very casual. no one really dresses to impress here unless they have to if they are presenting in a class.

I don't think anyone is out of place at UT. There are many interest groups on campus, and a lot of them interact with one another. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure there are tensions between some groups of people that wear different clothes or whatever. You can't exactly escape those kinds of stereotypes. A lot of people know each other (kids from big cities/ schools in Memphis/Nashville/Knoxville) and a lot of them are from similar socio-economic backgrounds. Most I think are middle-to-upper-middle class. I think students generally get along, however, despite background, orientation, race, etc.

-i think we are diverse. there is something for everyone -however, its important to be open to new experiences and ready to participate -students wear anything. i always wear shorts and a tshirt or sweatpants...no dressing up for me...waste of time -there are more than four tables at the dining hall actually...but i honestly dont pay attention to other people when im eating! -TENNESSEE! virginia, ohio, north carolina -middle working class families -yes...GO CONNECT! haha -im not sure, i think we have a mix of both political views -nope

there are a lot of us but i like that

I feel as though the student body is very diverse and it is really great having a class with a diverse group of people and really getting to know them. Most UTK students are from Tennessee.
