What is the stereotype of students at The University of Tennessee-Knoxville?

Amanda

UT is a party school, and fraternities and sororities run all student activities. UT students are sometimes seen as irresponsible and wild.

Evan

Extremely liberal for SEC southern schools. Very traditional sports program, very heavy drinking, very big party scene. Underrated educational system because it is overlooked and replaced by party scene and sports.

Alex

I think a stereotype about UTK is that you have to be Greek affiliated to participate in certain organizations on campus such as SAA or SGA.

Laura

Although there is no single stereotype that applies to UTK students, they are often described as heavy partiers. However, this is a stereotype applied to most college students, not just students at UTK. UTK is typically seen as extremely sports-minded and less focused on academics.
