The University of Tennessee-Knoxville Top Questions

Describe the students at The University of Tennessee-Knoxville.

Ashley

Everyone looks like everyone else. Students usually fall into the two stereotypical categories of hippies or preps... very sad.

Emma

very involved, but i have noticed that the same people run almost every organization.

Charlie

From what I've seen most of our students have a sense of unity within one another, but are also very active in everything going on campus.

Lauren

im not really involved with religion at school but there are a lot of opportunities if i were. the greek community is great. my only complaint would be that panhellnic and white fraternities are not at all involved with the black sororities and fraternities and that should change. students and professors need to communicate more. i realize its difficult in large classes but i would like it if students were told earlier in the semester if they are not doing well in the class that way they dont stress at the very end and find that they still fail. dress varies alot, esp depending on the time of the class. overall, most people wear t shirts and jeans to class and dress up when they go out at night to parties. students arent very judgemental though when it comes to clothes.

Chelsea

The student body and UT is very diverse.

Reese

great student organizations, students wear casual clothing to class, most utk students are from memphis and nashville and rural TN, most out of state students come from virginia

Megan

Most students I would say wear their p.j.s to class. Nothing wrong with that but when there are a million hills to walk up who is going to put on their finest.

Ash

The student body is not as diverse as one would think but students are friendly and make the college experience great.

Kris

In my opinion, the student body environment is a very relaxed and accepting one. While a few students dress up to go to class, the mass majority of students go in shorts, jeans, and tshirts. This makes for a warm, relaxed environment that does not seem so straight-laced.

Jaimee

I feel that anyone who came to UT would be able to find a place where they fit in. There really isnt anyone that would feel out of place as long as they are open-minded and willing to find a place where they fit in. I feel that our campus is very diverse. Most students wear t-shirts and jeans to class. If you walk in to an 8:00 am lecture you will even see sweat pants, flip flops, etc. It's very casual.
