University of Tennessee Reviews & Ratings ,Knoxville,USA

Tips: I would like to mention one thing, which is pretty straightforward - if you are coming here as a Bachelors/Masters student without any scholarship, please make sure you have your financial plan ready for the necessary funds to cover your tuition fees + living expenses.

Likes (Student Life): There's always a lot of stuff that keeps happening on the campus. If you can manage your time e...

Tips: The university is very good, but it is more famous for its PhD programs than its undergraduate programs. This is probably because the university is a close partner of Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). The tuition and fees are on the higher side for a public university, and most of the scholarships were available to PhD and bachelor's students in my department.

Likes (Student Life): The University of Tennessee, Knoxville has a great campus to explore, and a wide variety of events take place on campus. There are stu...
