The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga - Chattanooga, Tennessee

Love the updated buildings!!! The old ones still have that charm of being older. Faculty are helpful and most if not all are just down right experts in their fields, so cool!! Pre health program/office has just been blazing a trail of getting their students through college and into med school, keep it up guys!!!

I will be graduating soon from UTC with a bachelor’s engineering degree. I have nothing but positive things to say about this school! Unfortunately, I did not get involved in any extracurricular activities such as the frat life or clubs but I’ve had some great experiences and made some great friends. Beautiful city, good sized campus, lots of things todo, great staff and amazing professors. Every professor I’ve had wants you to succeed and is always there for when you need support. Lastly, I’d like to mention the only downsides I’ve noticed in my past four years… Crime. Crime is a common thing in a city of course so this shouldn’t be a surprise. Occasionally some tomfoolery is going on a certain road, that most students know what road Im talking about. As long as you’re cautious most likely will not have an issues. Not to mention some crazy things that can happen on campus. This is very rare but occasional harassment from the homeless. One time man walking around with a shotgun and they had the entire campus shut down. You know just Chattanooga things. In all seriousness this is a great school. it’s bitter sweet knowing I will be graduating soon. Thank you!

Wonderful location in an excellent city/state. I attended from 1979 - 1982. Met a lot of students that we still share and reminisce the days when we were students. Great academics and a nice campus. Lots to do away from campus without driving far. It was great to see the university decades later. There are changes all over campus vs when i attended. Needless to say it was a great weekend trip.

Would be nice if the bustling computer science department wasn't mostly research, leaving us to teach ourselves with online classes. At least the food options are decent, most classes are great.

I just got accepted here and have had a hard time getting all my paperwork and transfer info together but the staff has been absolutely amazing and so helpful throughout it all! Very excited to finally be at a school that seems to care and value their students! Also Linda in the bursars office is amazing and so kind!

I graduated from UTC back in 2019. The campus, city, and outdoors is why you come to UTC. They are all beautiful. However, once you look on the inside is when you find the bad. I never felt like i had any good professors who truly cared about their students except for two. The administrative side is a nightmare; constantly being transferred to another person or department, often times talking to someone who is annoyed because you called. The college DOES NOT CARE ABOUT YOU, only your money and they will do everything they can to exploit it. The best part on the inside of UTC is the maintenance and food court staff. They know students by name and make sure you are doing okay, unlike professors and advisors. Its a great place to be on the outside until you start going to class or trying to solve an administrative problem.

I am currently a art student at UTC. I really do feel that the professors and the staff in the art department have only their students best interest at heart. They push us to see beyond our main focus, to make us push ourselves harder. They push us to learn. These amazing professors at UTC give their students every opportunity to succeed, but it is up to us to grab a hold of that opportunity. I really enjoy the art program and all the students, professors and staff in the UTC art department.

If I could give this school zero stars, I would. This University is a full on corporation. They do not care about students one bit. All they care about is the money. Most of the teachers really do not want to be there and the staff(bursars, finaid, VA, etc..) are not on the same page. They do not seem to have any information about anything, even though the job they were hired for is to be able to provide that information.

I have two separate experiences with this place. First, I applied to use my VA benefits, I think in 2013. The lady gave me an excuse about, since I was Pre-Business I couldn't get it. So I had to withdraw. The next year I applied and I was able to use it with no problem. So I basically had to postpone going to school because someone lied or just didn't care to do the proper research.

Second, this year, 2016. I started school for the spring and I decided I was going to go ahead and take out loans to finish school. So, I took out a loan to pay for books and tuition. I was waiting for my check, because we were heading into the 3rd week of school and I needed my books. So I called the Bursars and Finaid office. Bursars told me that they automatically add the loan to the tuition. I said, are books not a part of tuition and the girl said yes, but I think you would have to talk to the bookstore about that. Worng! So, I went and withdrew from my classes again and filled out the proper forms to decline the loan. Then, I went onto my loan account and realized UTC had taken some money out of the loan I declined to pay for the classes I had already withdrew from. School is an embarrassment and now I have to find another school outside of the city to attend.
