• The Knoxville campus is very large and has many departments. There are four other campuses as well. There are clubs for different activities, and there are always events happening on campus.
• The libraries are huge and very advanced, offering both physical and digital resources. The university provides R1-level research facilities. The sports culture here is also very strong.

• I searched the apartment websites. I pay around $900 per month as rent.

I was eligible for in-state tuition, which was probably the big selling point. When I toured I absolutely loved it, and I got that "I belong here" feeling. I knew all along that I wanted to attend a really large SEC school.

I only lived in a dorm during my freshman year because it was overpriced. I lived right off campus every other year and loved it. Much cheaper and I could still walk to class. I didn't even have to drive which was great because our parking situation was horrible.

I got a full ride for this college and my brother went there and had a great experience. The theatre department also had a Lord D theatre on campus that we got to collaborate with and participate in shows with.
