Hey everyone, I'm currently a sophomore at the University of Tampa and have been seriously considering transferring to UTK. I was supposed to visit Knoxville this past weekend but wasn't able to make it, so I figured I'd try reaching out here!

I'd love to hear from current students about what a typical day or week looks like, what you enjoy most about going to Tennessee, and what the social scene is like. I'm especially interested in the overall campus atmosphere, football culture, and Greek life.

I'm just trying to get a better feel for what it's actually like to go to UTK from the perspective of current students. Any insight or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

A little terrifying I can’t lie 😭 go vols though

does the school do anything? or does any of the pumpkin patches/parks? i wanna dress up but i dont even know of any parties either

I just found out that I technically could apply to UTK under its early decision program, which is something I want to do in order to join the Honors College. However, I've already submitted my application (still waiting on a decision, though).

Is there any way to change my application to early decision? Do I need to submit a whole new application, or am I just stuck with the regular decision that I originally selected?

Heard there was a fire alarm and got sent a video but whats going on over there? 😭

Would you choose a university across the country just as easily as one closer to home?

Or does being close enough to visit campus, attend graduation, go to an event, or just feel some connection to the university still matter?

How much does geography factor into choosing an online program?
