The University of Tennessee-Knoxville Top Questions

What's the most frustrating thing about The University of Tennessee-Knoxville?

Brittany

It does seem like sometimes students don't have much say in things. It is a large university, but the SGA doesn't do very well with representing every student.

The Career Center is not as useful as most students would like it to be. It organizes career fairs and hosts workshops once or twice per semester which usually happen during hours when most students take their classes. Getting help with cover letters and resumes is worthless due to a limited knowledge of the staff. Inquring about internships and jobs was a waste of time to me because the staff told me to do my own research on the Internet.

Morgan

I'm doing so many activities, research, and work and sometimes it gets to my head. However, while this is a downside sometimes, it is also a plus. Most of the time I enjoy it... sometimes I don't.

Some teachers do not seem to care whether you get a credit or not, but most are very well at working with students to help them to the best of their ability.

Honestly, the most frustrating thing about school is finances. I am a student that has no parental help and it is difficult to try and find the funds to stay in school or even eat sometimes.

Richard

Lack of guidance by some advisors.

Alisa

I am a single mother of two toddlers and can not seem to get the financial aid needed. Whenever I have contacted my financial aid advisor, it is hard to get a straight answer or a return phone call.

Other than the money issue at UT there isn't much to complain about. I'd say the bus system is very flawed. There is an East-West bus and a North-South. There are 3 times as many east west buses than north south leaving certain students to stand and wait with the ONE north-south bus runs all the way around campus. It's an easy fix too, but UT is stubborn and it will not change.

Being a Vol rarely becomes frustrating. The main problems stem from lack of parking and increases in tuition. These are problems that are frustrating about 98{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of colleges, so I do not believe that, in comparison, they are frustrations that make the University of Tennessee a bad choice.

The school does a lot to appease the alumni or fans or research professors and doesn't always put the students and their needs first.
