OUr school is a very diverse student population. There are many programs for all students no matter what origin or background. We are a very accepting university. Most students wear nice clothes to class...mostly jeans and tees or even polos and khakis.

mostly conservative southerners

I haven't not seen many discrimination acts on campus and i feel that is something that you should be able to take pride in on your campus. UTK is very diverse and that probably helps with the discrimination aspect. I dont think that anyone who came to UT could feel out of place there are so many organizations that they would be able to find a place where they fit in.

Everyone here is so nice, and willing to help you out whenever needed. There tends to be alot of crime on campus though. It seems almost everyone here is from TN, and they have that in common.

I feel that the UTK student body is so diverse that there is definitely a place for everyone. It seems that the various types of students are definitely segregated though.

UTK student body is very broad and unique. There are all sorts of students which is the way it should be.

A student that is close minded and not sociable would have a hard time at UT. The student body is mostly friendly and willing to lend a hand. Since UT does have a larger student body, if you ever wanted to establish yourself with an organization or anything, you would have to make yourself known.

There is a very divers group of students at utk. I have even met many international students. I dont think anyone would feel out of place because there is something for everyone.

All students are welcomed; most of us where t-shirts and jeans--naturally there are cliques though. UTK has students from everywhere...are we politically aware?? Yes.

I think UTK's student body is very diverse. Most students wear jeans and t-shirts to class. No one dresses up really, even though occasionally you will see some girls dress up. Freshman year is when the girls dress up the most I would say for the first couple of weeks of class. Most UTK students are from Tennessee, and I would say the two main cities that UTK students are from are Memphis and Knoxville. I would say that most people are from middle to upper class financial backgrounds.
