SOmeone who doesnt like meeting new people

A person who is very serious about school should not attend the University of Tennessee PERIOD. One who wants a traditional college town should look for another place. UT is in a very urban enviornment. I have noticed that minority students, especially black ones, are singled out and discriminated against quite frequently by students and police. However faculty and staff tend to be very supportive of minorities.

Someone who doesn't meet people easily or make their own way

Anyone wanting to come to college on the sole purpose of being on their own and wanting to have a good time. Though we all have our fair share of fun, we are a very academically strong community.
