UTK Reviews

It's a pretty school, but my I still think the prettiest school in TN is Sewanee, but that's just me.

Although the location is very good in the city of Knoxville, my time at this University has been marred by a list of negative things.

The professors are not very helpful and many rarely give out A's despite the most studious students' best efforts. Most of the professors I had at UT had extremely large egos that prevented them from helping students complete the class. They may also be unwilling to have more than one office hour per week or provide extra help. Although I have nothing against professors of other cultures, a large complaint is that many professors also have such thick accents that confuse students. And the advisors couldn't care less about you finishing in 4 years. And don't dare even utter the word "exception" because of you need compassion or understanding, this school isn't for you.

A common phrase at this University is the "Big Orange Screw ". The classes that you need are scarcely offered, so many students are unable to graduate in 4 years, and the increasing tuition and numerous fees makes it hard for students relying on financial aid or paying out of pocket.

The parking is very strict. They have relatively expensive parking passes. However, they sell almost 2 passes per spot, so parking is extremely difficult. The parking authority tickets an absurd amount. It was reported that they make $2 million a year on parking tickets, 5 times the entire city of Knoxville. If you have unknowingly parked in a non-student spot you will likely have a ticket within 5 minutes. I parked in a loading zone to drop something off and had a ticket in 5 minutes. I also got a summer parking pass, which apparently needs to be mailed to you now. I've gotten two parking tickets in the two days I've been waiting on the pass.

The construction on campus is constant. They have roads and sidewalks blocked off and loud construction sounds throughout the day.

The dorms are also very old. They've finally been replacing some, but when I lived in the on-campus dorms it wasn't uncommon to find a rat in my incredibly old dorm room.

The university also has constant alerts of rape and theft crimes. The neighborhood adjacent to the University, Fort Sanders has a very high crime rate. It has a reputation for break-ins, rape and general loud, drunken disorder (as does the campus, despite being a dry campus. If you report anything to the UT Police or Knoxville Police Department, many cases will not be responded to. There are also a lot of homeless people in that area, as well as the Strip where many of the restaurants and stores like Walgreens and Walmart.

Finally, the University is not very tolerant of minorities.

The sororities and fraternities run the school and there is a heavy party atmosphere centered around them. This is a party school, so if you aren't looking for that, do not choose this school. There's also a large number of rapes associated with them too. I was not involved in Greek life and felt uncomfortable or isolated because of it, despite most fraternity guys being rude to non-Greeks.

The University as well as Greek groups are also rather intolerant of other races, religions, exchange students and LGBTQ+ people to name a few (having gotten rid of their Outreach center, as well restricting the Sex Week on sexual education in a sweeping wave of discrimination based on upheld religious beliefs at the University and state legislative levels). Plus people with large signs and Bibles will constantly remind you how you are going to hell for being different.

Don't make the mistake I did of going here.

Was a master student here, loved it here and stayed for PhD here. Will be in top 25 very soon with this much progress every year. Go Vols

Great experience. My dad has been in there for a week now and they really are great nurses and doctors. They are taking care of his needs and taking great care of him.

Nurse Dylin on 9th floor DESERVES AN CARE NURSE AWARD TOOK AWESOME CARE OF ME ALONG WITH THE UT VASCULAR TEAM I AM GRATEFUL

The best campus and University in the country! Beautiful facilities and sporting venues! GBO!

Great hospital, always willing to. Doctors, nurses and suppporting staff also great. Deserve the best rating.

Strictly monitored for Covid-19. Most positive attitudes anywhere!

I was very skeptical on a long awaited and serious procedure. I walked out with full optimism. I am a biological History of injuries and surgeries.

Again, I feel complete and confident there is a trustworthy Hospital. UTH

i would rate 5 stars but the football didnt win the east.Not only did u lose the game, but u lost my respect

Beaaautiful campus, great location...don t be alarmed of the homeless population.it will slap you in the face one you go down Cumberland and turn on 16th. There are a ton of places to live around here. The campus is very diverse yet still a little separated. They have a lot of things to do and things to experience. The staff are helpful and the grounds are clean, I lived in Knoxville for 6 months and I pretended to be a student lol (I was suppose to enroll in the fall but I decided to transfer) it was an all art f great experience. Knoxville will always be a place for me to go

Best exotics vet department in the country! Great people with kind hearts. Thank you.

They are very picky about general education classes. I was going to transfer to UTK to finish my bachelors after I earned my associate s degree in another state, but I figured out that they don t take many out-state credits and pretty much I d have to start all over again. So if you re an out-state student, you need to be careful and make sure how many credits you can transfer.

Was admitted to the UT Hospital for 4 days...9th. floor...Staff was Fantastic...Thank You.

I'm a student here and love the environment, people, and the Vols!

Very good experience. Very helpful and friendly. Would recommend.

Cant wait to go here in 6 yrs for the great bass fishing team

Was my pleasure to work there 7 years and retired yesterday. Amazing workplace, great colleagues, excellent pay and benefits! It was an honor to work on Rocky Top with people engaged in imparting knowledge and conducting cutting edge research. Incredible investment in buildings and infrastructure in recent years. They are leading on despite the pandemic's pressures. Go Vols!

Parking was better this time. Spent about 2 minutes finding a parking place. I go to The Heart Lung Institute in blg E. Access is easy going across the pedestrian Bridge. The building is always well lit and very clean. There are covid policies in effect, but it is not obtrusive. All doctors and techs are friendly and not afraid to share humor. My wait was not excessively long. My procedure took 3.5 hrs but they made that clear ahead of time. I had a very positive experience.

Have my MRI done here once a year. Staff is good. But checking in before MRI is nonesinse. They never know anything. They quote you wrong on the bill you owe. Paid $854 for the MRI with insurance, get a bill later on oweing $173 for University Radiology to "administer" the dye used in MRI. Complete garbage. Would have just been a whole lot better to be informed of these fees and charges up front. NOT 2 months later

It was an exceptional experience, thank you for all the hard work!!!

Check your spelling to the person talking about IDIOTS It's there not their!!!!!

Attended some years ago, loved the agriculture campus however the main c@mpus isvery overcrowded

Literally everything PJGoodwrench said. The advisors and office staff are awful and so are the professors. The class sizes for Art programs sometimes consist of SIX students. This is a university- And they offer less class openings than Pellissippi. If you want to be in college for 8 years to get a bachelors, go to UT Knoxville. They'll make it real easy for you.

Signage could use some improvement, especially with COVID measures.

Nurse was great. All the staff we came in contact with was very nice and helpful.

Absolutely the greatest University in this great state! Go Vols!
